An archaeal protein evolutionarily conserved in prokaryotes is a zinc-dependent metalloprotease
A putative protease gene (tldD) was previously identified from studying tolerance of letD encoding the CcdB toxin of a toxin-antidote system of the F plasmid in Escherichia coli. While this gene is evolutionarily conserved in archaea and bacteria, the proteolytic activity of encoded proteins remained to be demonstrated experimentally. Here we studied Sso0660, an archaeal TldD homologue encoded ...
متن کاملA CCCH zinc finger conserved in a replication protein a homolog found in diverse Euryarchaeotes.
We describe a CCCH type of zinc finger domain in a replication protein A (RPA) homolog found in members of different lineages of the Euryarchaeota, a subdomain of Archaea. The zinc finger is characterized by CX(2)CX(8)CX(2)H, where X is any amino acid. Using MacRPA3, a representative of this new group of RPA in Methanosarcina acetivorans, we made two deletion mutants: a C-terminal deletion muta...
متن کاملEvolutionarily Conserved Herpesviral Protein Interaction Networks
Herpesviruses constitute a family of large DNA viruses widely spread in vertebrates and causing a variety of different diseases. They possess dsDNA genomes ranging from 120 to 240 kbp encoding between 70 to 170 open reading frames. We previously reported the protein interaction networks of two herpesviruses, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). In thi...
متن کاملIdentifying Evolutionarily Conserved Protein Interaction Networks
Our goal is to investigate protein networks conserved between different organisms. Given the protein interaction networks for two species and a list of homologous pairs of protein in the two species, we propose a model for measuring whether two subnetworks, one in each protein interaction network, are conserved. Our model separately measures the degree of conservation of the two subnetworks and...
متن کاملPatterning the zebrafish diencephalon by the conserved zinc-finger protein Fezl.
The forebrain constitutes the most anterior part of the central nervous system, and is functionally crucial and structurally conserved in all vertebrates. It includes the dorsally positioned telencephalon and eyes, the ventrally positioned hypothalamus, and the more caudally located diencephalon [from rostral to caudal: the prethalamus, the zona limitans intrathalamica (ZLI), the thalamus and t...
