Dependence of M1 RNA substrate specificity on magnesium ion concentration.
We have constructed a plasmid expressing E. coli M1 RNA, the catalytic RNA subunit of ribonuclease P, under the control of a phage T7 promoter. The active M1 RNA species synthesized in vitro by T7 RNA polymerase from this vector was reacted with the tRNA(Gln) - tRNA(Leu) precursor RNA (Band K) encoded by phage T4. Only the tRNA(Leu) moiety of this dimeric precursor RNA contains the 3' terminal ...
متن کاملSodium channel selectivity. Dependence on internal permeant ion concentration
The selectivity of sodium channels in squid axon membranes was investigated with widely varying concentrations of internal ions. The selectivity ratio, PNa/PK, determined from reversal potentials decreases from 12.8 to 5.7 to 3.5 as the concentration of internal potassium is reduced from 530 to 180 to 50 mM, respectively. The internal KF perfusion medium can be diluted by tetramethylammonium (T...
متن کاملMechanistic constraints from the substrate concentration dependence of enzymatic fluctuations.
The time it takes an enzyme to complete its reaction is a stochastic quantity governed by thermal fluctuations. With the advent of high-resolution methods of single-molecule manipulation and detection, it is now possible to observe directly this natural variation in the enzymatic cycle completion time and extract kinetic information from the statistics of its fluctuations. To this end, the inve...
متن کاملSubstrate Recognition and Specificity of Double-Stranded RNA Binding Proteins
Recognition of double-stranded (ds) RNA is an important part of many cellular pathways, including RNA silencing, viral recognition, RNA editing, processing, and transport. dsRNA recognition is often achieved by dsRNA binding domains (dsRBDs). We use atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to examine the binding interface of the transactivation response RNA binding protein (TRBP) dsRBDs to dsRN...
متن کاملDetermination of the metal ion dependence and substrate specificity of a hydratase involved in the degradation pathway of biphenyl/chlorobiphenyl.
BphH is a divalent metal ion-dependent hydratase that catalyzes the formation of 2-keto-4-hydroxypentanoate from 2-hydroxypent-2,4-dienoate (HPDA). This reaction lies on the catabolic pathway of numerous aromatics, including the significant environmental pollutant, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). BphH from the PCB degrading bacterium, Burkholderia xenoverans LB400, was overexpressed and purif...
