متن کاملDissecting intrinsic chaperonin activity.
It has long been known that the linear sequence of amino acids along the polypeptide chains contains all the necessary information required to determine the correct three-dimensional structure of a protein (1). Indeed, a large number of proteins have been shown to refold spontaneously in vitro from an unfolded denatured state to the native folded state (2–6). Other proteins, often large ones, h...
متن کاملCodon Adaptation of Plastid Genes
Codon adaptation is codon usage bias that results from selective pressure to increase the translation efficiency of a gene. Codon adaptation has been studied across a wide range of genomes and some early analyses of plastids have shown evidence for codon adaptation in a limited set of highly expressed plastid genes. Here we study codon usage bias across all fully sequenced plastid genomes which...
متن کاملCodon adaptation index as a measure of dominating codon bias
UNLABELLED We propose a simple algorithm to detect dominating synonymous codon usage bias in genomes. The algorithm is based on a precise mathematical formulation of the problem that lead us to use the Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) as a 'universal' measure of codon bias. This measure has been previously employed in the specific context of translational bias. With the set of coding sequences as a...
متن کاملA novel cochaperonin that modulates the ATPase activity of cytoplasmic chaperonin
The folding of alpha- and beta-tubulin requires three proteins: the heteromeric TCP-1-containing cytoplasmic chaperonin and two additional protein cofactors (A and B). We show that these cofactors participate in the folding process and do not merely trigger release, since in the presence of Mg-ATP alone, alpha- and beta-tubulin target proteins are discharged from cytoplasmic chaperonin in a non...
