Anion binding to nucleic acids.
Nucleic acids are generally considered as efficient cation binders. Therefore, the likelihood that negatively charged ions might intrude their first hydration shell is rarely considered. Here, we show on the basis of (i) a survey of the Nucleic Acid Database, (ii) several structures extracted from the Cambridge Structural Database, and (iii) molecular dynamics simulations, that the nucleotide e...
متن کاملEffect of Tetrahydropyrimidine Derivatives on Protein-Nucleic Acids Interaction
2-Methyl-4-carboxy,5-hydroxy-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine (THP(A) or hydroxyectoine) and 2-methyl,4-carboxy-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine (THP(B) or ectoine) are now recognized as ubiquitous bacterial osmoprotectants. To evaluate the impact of tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives (THPs) on protein-DNA interaction and on restriction-modification systems, we have examined their effect on the cleavage ...
متن کاملCooperative binding to nucleic acids by barley yellow mosaic bymovirus coat protein and characterization of a nucleic acid-binding domain.
The capacity of several coat protein (CP) mutants of a German isolate of barley yellow mosaic bymovirus (BaYMV) to bind of nucleic acids was studied in vitro. Recombinant CP, produced by overexpression in Escherichia coli, was purified from inclusion bodies and subsequently renatured. Binding to single-stranded (ss) RNA and ssDNA oligonucleotides was found to be cooperative and sequence non-spe...
متن کاملLeukocyte protease binding to nucleic acids promotes nuclear localization and cleavage of nucleic acid binding proteins.
Killer lymphocyte granzyme (Gzm) serine proteases induce apoptosis of pathogen-infected cells and tumor cells. Many known Gzm substrates are nucleic acid binding proteins, and the Gzms accumulate in the target cell nucleus by an unknown mechanism. In this study, we show that human Gzms bind to DNA and RNA with nanomolar affinity. Gzms cleave their substrates most efficiently when both are bound...
متن کاملVisualization and characterization of tobacco mosaic virus movement protein binding to single-stranded nucleic acids.
Cell-to-cell spread of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is presumed to occur through plant intercellular connections, the plasmodesmata. Viral movement is an active process mediated by a specific virus-encoded P30 protein. P30 has at least two functions, to cooperatively bind single-stranded nucleic acids and to increase plasmodesmatal permeability. Here, we visualized P30 complexes with single-stran...
