Active site localization in a viral mRNA capping enzyme.
Capping of reovirus mRNAs is catalyzed by a guanylyltransferase that corresponds to virion structural polypeptide lambda 2. It forms a phosphoamide linked enzyme-pG covalent complex as an intermediate in the capping reaction. The nucleotide attachment site on lambda 2 was localized to a region between amino acids 213 and 269 by incubating virus particles with [alpha-32P]GTP followed by proteoly...
متن کاملLow dielectric response in enzyme active site.
The kinetics of charge transfer depend crucially on the dielectric reorganization of the medium. In enzymatic reactions that involve charge transfer, atomic dielectric response of the active site and of its surroundings determines the efficiency of the protein as a catalyst. We report direct spectroscopic measurements of the reorganization energy associated with the dielectric response in the a...
متن کاملThe CCA-adding enzyme has a single active site.
The CCA-adding enzyme (tRNA nucleotidyltransferase) synthesizes and repairs the 3'-terminal CCA sequence of tRNA. The eubacterial, eukaryotic, and archaeal CCA-adding enzymes all share a single active-site signature motif, which identifies these enzymes as belonging to the nucleotidyltransferase superfamily. Here we show that mutations at Asp-53 or Asp-55 of the Sulfolobus shibatae signature se...
متن کاملMetric learning for enzyme active-site search
MOTIVATION Finding functionally analogous enzymes based on the local structures of active sites is an important problem. Conventional methods use templates of local structures to search for analogous sites, but their performance depends on the selection of atoms for inclusion in the templates. RESULTS The automatic selection of atoms so that site matches can be discriminated from mismatches. ...
متن کاملInfluenza: A Unique Disease
Dear Editor-in-Chief, Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an infectious disease caused by an influenza virus (1). Symptoms can be mild to severe (2). The most common symptoms include: high fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle pains, headache, coughing, sneezing, and feeling tired (1). Three of the four types of influenza viruses affect people, Type A, Type B, and Type C (3, 4). Type D ha...
