Specificity and catalysis hardwired at the RNA–protein interface in a translational proofreading enzyme
Proofreading modules of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are responsible for enforcing a high fidelity during translation of the genetic code. They use strategically positioned side chains for specifically targeting incorrect aminoacyl-tRNAs. Here, we show that a unique proofreading module possessing a D-aminoacyl-tRNA deacylase fold does not use side chains for imparting specificity or for catalysis...
متن کاملThe role of proofreading in signal transduction specificity.
Many intracellular signaling proteins such as MAP kinases and transcription factors require multiple covalent modifications before activating downstream targets. This property suggests that signaling pathways are organized to facilitate proofreading, which expends energy to enhance the specificity of the pathway for the appropriate effector. Focusing on MAP kinases, we show that each phosphoryl...
متن کاملEpigenetic Events in Liver Cancer Resulting From Alcoholic Liver Disease
Epigenetic mechanisms play an extensive role in the development of liver cancer (i.e., hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC]) associated with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) as well as in liver disease associated with other conditions. For example, epigenetic mechanisms, such as changes in the methylation and/or acetylation pattern of certain DNA regions or of the histone proteins around which the DNA i...
متن کاملAdverse drug events resulting from patient errors in older adults.
OBJECTIVES To characterize the types of patient-related errors that lead to adverse drug events (ADEs) and identify patients at high risk of such errors. DESIGN A subanalysis within a cohort study of Medicare enrollees. SETTING A large multispecialty group practice. PARTICIPANTS Thirty thousand Medicare enrollees followed over a 12-month period. MEASUREMENTS Primary outcomes were ADEs, ...
متن کاملManaging skeletal related events resulting from bone metastases.
Pain is one of themost common symptomsmanaged in a palliative setting, and over half of all metastatic cancers will be associated with pain originating from bone metastases. Breast, lung, and prostate cancers account for about 80% of all bone metastases. Management of bone pain is especially important in patients with prostate or breast cancer as these patients may survive for many years with m...
