- Differential Reaction Kinetics, Cleavage Complex Formation, and Nonamer Binding Domain Dependence Dictate the Structure-Specific and Sequence-Specific Nuclease Activity of RAGs
[作者:Naik, AK; Raghavan, SC,期刊:Journal of Molecular Biology, 页码:475-488 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2012年415-3]
- During V(D)J recombination, RAG (recombination-activating gene) complex cleaves DNA based on sequence specificity. Besides its physiological function, RAG has been shown to act as a structure-specific nuclease. Recently,...
- Structural Studies of Intermediates along the Cyclization Pathway of Aplysia ADP-Ribosyl Cyclase

- Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a calcium messenger that can mobilize intracellular Ca2+ stores and activate Ca2+ influx to regulate a wide range of physiological processes. Aplysia cyclase is the first member of the ADP-ri...
- Crystal Structure of Human Mitochondrial PheRS Complexed with tRNA(Phe) in the Active "Open" State
[作者:Klipcan, L; Moor, N; Finarov, I; Kessler, N; Sukhanova, M; Safro, MG,期刊:Journal of Molecular Biology, 页码:527-537 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2012年415-3]
- Monomeric human mitochondrial phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS), or hmPheRS, is the smallest known enzyme exhibiting aminoacylation activity. HmPheRS consists of only two structural domains and differs markedly from h...
- Salt Bridges Regulate Both Dimer Formation and Monomeric Flexibility in HdeB and May Have a Role in Periplasmic Chaperone Function
[作者:Wang, WJ; Rasmussen, T; Harding, AJ; Booth, NA; Booth, IR; Naismith, JH,期刊:Journal of Molecular Biology, 页码:538-546 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2012年415-3]
- Escherichia coli and Gram-negative bacteria that live in the human gut must be able to tolerate rapid and large changes in environmental pH. Low pH irreversibly denatures and precipitates many bacterial proteins. While c...
- The Structure and Enzymatic Properties of a Novel RNase II Family Enzyme from Deinococcus radiodurans
[作者:Schmier, BJ; Seetharaman, J; Deutscher, MP; Hunt, JF; Malhotra, A,期刊:Journal of Molecular Biology, 页码:547-559 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2012年415-3]
- Exoribonucleases are vital in nearly all aspects of RNA metabolism, including RNA maturation, end-turnover, and degradation. RNase II and RNase R are paralogous members of the RNR superfamily of nonspecific, 3' -> 5', pr...
- Crystal Structures of Two Solute Receptors for L-Cystine and L-Cysteine, Respectively, of the Human Pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae
[作者:Bulut, H; Moniot, S; Licht, A; Scheffel, F; Gathmann, S; Saenger, W; Schneider, E,期刊:Journal of Molecular Biology, 页码:560-572 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2012年415-3]
- ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are integral membrane proteins that carry a variety of substrates across biological membranes at the expense of ATP. The here considered prokaryotic canonical importers consist of ...
- Inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence: Characterization of the AprA-AprI Interface and Species Selectivity
[作者:Bardoel, BW; van Kessel, KPM; van Strijp, JAG; Milder, FJ,期刊:Journal of Molecular Biology, 页码:573-583 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2012年415-3]
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes the virulence factor alkaline protease (AprA) to enhance its survival. AprA cleaves one of the key microbial recognition molecules, monomeric flagellin, and thereby diminishes Toll-like re...
- Amyloid Fibrils Formed by the Programmed Cell Death Regulator Bcl-xL
[作者:Chenal, A; Vendrely, C; Vitrac, H; Karst, JC; Gonneaud, A; Blanchet, CE; Pichard, S; Garcia, E; Salin, B; Catty, P; Gillet, D; Hussy, N; Marquette, C; Almunia, C; Forge, V,期刊:Journal of Molecular Biology, 页码:584-599 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2012年415-3]
- The accumulation of amyloid fibers due to protein misfolding is associated with numerous human diseases. For example, the formation of amyloid deposits in neurodegenerative pathologies is correlated with abnormal apoptos...
