Identification of multiple distinct Snf2 subfamilies with conserved structural motifs
The Snf2 family of helicase-related proteins includes the catalytic subunits of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complexes found in all eukaryotes. These act to regulate the structure and dynamic properties of chromatin and so influence a broad range of nuclear processes. We have exploited progress in genome sequencing to assemble a comprehensive catalogue of over 1300 Snf2 family members. M...
متن کاملAspartyl-tRNA synthetase requires a conserved proline in the anticodon-binding loop for tRNA(Asn) recognition in vivo.
Most prokaryotes require Asp-tRNA(Asn) for the synthesis of Asn-tRNA(Asn). This misacylated tRNA species is synthesized by a non-discriminating aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS) that acylates both tRNA(Asp) and tRNA(Asn) with aspartate. In contrast, a discriminating AspRS forms only Asp-tRNA(Asp). Here we show that a conserved proline (position 77) in the L1 loop of the non-discriminating Deinoc...
متن کاملRecognition of the universally conserved 3'-CCA end of tRNA by elongation factor EF-Tu.
Escherichia coli tRNA(Val) with pyrimidine substitutions for the universally conserved 3'-terminal adenine can be readily aminoacylated. It cannot, however, transfer valine into polypeptides. Conversely, despite being a poor substrate for valyl-tRNA synthetase, tRNA(Val) with a 3'-terminal guanine is active in in vitro polypeptide synthesis. To better understand the function of the 3'-CCA seque...
متن کاملConserved repeat motifs and glucan binding by glucansucrases of oral streptococci and Leuconostoc mesenteroides.
Glucansucrases of oral streptococci and Leuconostoc mesenteroides have a common pattern of structural organization and characteristically contain a domain with a series of tandem amino acid repeats in which certain residues are highly conserved, particularly aromatic amino acids and glycine. In some glucosyltransferases (GTFs) the repeat region has been identified as a glucan binding domain (GB...
متن کاملInferring Phylogenetically Conserved Motifs
The regulation of gene expression is a crucial biological process by which genes are turned on or off in the cell. Motifs are short sequence segments which occur in the genome are an important component of this process. Motifs which regulate gene expression are perhaps the second most sought after annotation from a newly sequenced genome after the identification of the protein-coding genes. A v...
