Arginine methylation of vasa protein is conserved across phyla.

Recent studies have uncovered an unexpected relationship between factors that are essential for germline development in Drosophila melanogaster: the arginine protein methyltransferase 5 (dPRMT5/Csul/Dart5) and its cofactor Valois, methylate the Piwi family protein Aub, enabling it to bind Tudor. The RNA helicase Vasa is another essential protein in germline development. Here, we report that mou...

A cardiac troponin T epitope conserved across phyla.

Troponin T is a thin filament protein that is important in regulating striated muscle contraction. We have raised a monoclonal antibody against rabbit cardiac troponin T, monoclonal (mAb) 13-11, that recognizes its epitope in cardiac troponin T isoforms from fish, bird, and mammal but not from frog. The number of these isoforms expressed in cardiac muscle varies among species and during develop...

A conserved motif within the vitamin K-dependent carboxylase gene is widely distributed across animal phyla.

The vitamin K-dependent gamma-glutamyl carboxylase catalyzes the posttranslational conversion of glutamic acid to gamma-carboxyglutamic acid, an amino acid critical to the function of the vitamin K-dependent blood coagulation proteins. Given the functional similarity of mammalian vitamin K-dependent carboxylases and the vitamin K-dependent carboxylase from Conus textile, a marine invertebrate, ...

Analysis of protein arginine methylation and protein arginine-methyltransferase activity.

Posttranslational modification of proteins allows cells to adapt and react quickly to their environment beyond the boundaries set forth by genetic code. Arginine methylation, a protein modification discovered almost 30 years ago, has recently experienced a renewed interest as several new arginine methyltransferases have been identified and numerous proteins were found to be regulated by methyla...

Conserved Sr Protein Kinase Functions in Nuclear Import and Its Action Is Counteracted by Arginine Methylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Mammalian serine and arginine-rich (SR) proteins play important roles in both constitutive and regulated splicing, and SR protein-specific kinases (SRPKs) are conserved from humans to yeast. Here, we demonstrate a novel function of the single conserved SR protein kinase Sky1p in nuclear import in budding yeast. The yeast SR-like protein Npl3p is known to enter the nucleus through a composite nu...
