New B-lymphocyte-specific enhancer-binding protein.
We report the discovery of a new B-lymphocyte-specific enhancer-binding protein. A series of gel retardation assays using fragments that scan the -2172 to -1180 region of the major histocompatibility complex class II gene E alpha reveal a site (W) that serves as the recognition sequence for two nuclear proteins, one B-cell restricted and the other ubiquitously occurring. Certain characteristics...
متن کاملCloning of conserved regions of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae hmw1 core binding domain
Colonization of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) in nasopharynx causes respiratory tract disease. In 80% of clinical isolates, HMW proteins are the major adhesions and induce protective antibodies in the hosts. Therefore, it can be used as a vaccine candidate. The aim of this study is designing and cloning of the conserved regions of NTHi hmw1 core binding domain.In this study, the sta...
متن کاملImportant Roles for E Protein Binding Sites within the Immunoglobulin κ Chain Intronic Enhancer in Activating Vκ Jκ Rearrangement
The immunoglobulin kappa light chain intronic enhancer (iEkappa) activates kappa rearrangement and is required to maintain the earlier or more efficient rearrangement of kappa versus lambda (lambda). To understand the mechanism of how iEkappa regulates kappa rearrangement, we employed homologous recombination to mutate individual functional motifs within iE(kappa) in the endogenous kappa locus,...
متن کاملLocating well-conserved regions within a pairwise alignment
Within a single alignment of two DNA sequences or two protein sequences, some regions may be much better conserved than others. Such strong conservation may reveal a region that possesses an important function. When alignments are so long that it is infeasible, or at least undesirable, to inspect them in complete detail, it is helpful to have an automatic process that computes information about...
متن کاملOxo-iron clusters in a bacterial iron-trafficking protein: new roles for a conserved motif.
We report a set of three 1.8-1.9 A resolution X-ray crystal structures of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Fbp (ferric-ion binding protein): (i) open-cleft apo-Fbp containing bound phosphate, (ii) open-cleft mono-Fe Fbp capped by nitrilotriacetate, and (iii) open-cleft trinuclear oxo-iron Fbp, the first structure of an iron-cluster adduct of a transferrin. The nine independent molecules in the unit cells ...
