Translating transitions – how to decipher peripheral human B cell development
During the last two decades our understanding of human B cell differentiation has developed considerably. Our understanding of the human B cell compartment has advanced from a point where essentially all assays were based on the presence or not of class-switched antibodies to a level where a substantial diversity is appreciated among the cells involved. Several consecutive transitional stages t...
متن کاملDaunomycin modifies the sequence-selective recognition of DNA by actinomycin.
The antitumour antibiotic actinomycin D normally binds to DNA by intercalation at sequences containing the CpG step, but in the presence of daunomycin it has been reported to interact with poly(dA-dT). This observation has neither been confirmed nor explained. Here we have used a photoreactive 7-azido derivative of actinomycin to study the effect of daunomycin on its binding to three DNA fragme...
متن کاملTarget-Selective Protein S-Nitrosylation by Sequence Motif Recognition
S-nitrosylation is a ubiquitous protein modification emerging as a principal mechanism of nitric oxide (NO)-mediated signal transduction and cell function. S-nitrosylases can use NO synthase (NOS)-derived NO to modify selected cysteines in target proteins. Despite proteomic identification of over a thousand S-nitrosylated proteins, few S-nitrosylases have been identified. Moreover, mechanisms u...
متن کاملSequence recognition of DNA by protein-induced conformational transitions.
The binding of proteins to specific sequences of DNA is an important feature of virtually all DNA transactions. Proteins recognize specific DNA sequences using both direct readout (sensing types and positions of DNA functional groups) and indirect readout (sensing DNA conformation and deformability). Previously we showed that the P22 c2 repressor N-terminal domain (P22R NTD) forces the central ...
متن کاملA MODEL FOR THE BASIC HELIX- LOOPHELIX MOTIF AND ITS SEQUENCE SPECIFIC RECOGNITION OF DNA
A three dimensional model of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix motif and its sequence specific recognition of DNA is described. The basic-helix I is modeled as a continuous ?-helix because no ?-helix breaking residue is found between the basic region and the first helix. When the basic region of the two peptide monomers are aligned in the successive major groove of the cognate DNA, the hydrophobi...
