PolyADP-ribose polymerase is a coactivator for AP-2-mediated transcriptional activation.
Overexpression of transcription factor AP-2 has been implicated in the tumorigenicity of the human teratocarcinoma cell lines PA-1 that contain an activated ras oncogene. Here we show evidence that overexpression of AP-2 sequesters transcriptional coactivators which results in self-inhibition. We identified AP-2-interacting proteins and determined whether these proteins were coactivators for AP...
متن کاملRNA-dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) from avian myeloblastosis virus: a zinc metalloenzyme.
RNA tumor viruses contain a characteristic RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) which has been thought to be related to the induction of leukemia by this virus. A disturbance in a zinc-dependent enzyme system was first postulated to account for the demonstrated differences in zinc metabolism of normal and leukemic leukocytes [Vallee et al. in (1949) Acta Unio. Int. Contra Cancru...
متن کاملComputational redesign of a mononuclear zinc metalloenzyme for organophosphate hydrolysis.
The ability to redesign enzymes to catalyze noncognate chemical transformations would have wide-ranging applications. We developed a computational method for repurposing the reactivity of metalloenzyme active site functional groups to catalyze new reactions. Using this method, we engineered a zinc-containing mouse adenosine deaminase to catalyze the hydrolysis of a model organophosphate with a ...
متن کاملThe N-acetyl-D-glucosaminylphosphatidylinositol De-N-acetylase of glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis is a zinc metalloenzyme.
The de-N-acetylation of N-acetyl-D-glucosaminylphosphatidylinositol (GlcNAc-PI) is the second step of mammalian and trypanosomal glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis is essential for Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness, and GlcNAc-PI de-N-acetylase has previously been validated as a drug target. Inhibition of the t...
متن کاملIs poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase involved in bovine placental retention?
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is the enzyme which utilises NAD to synthesise poly(ADP-ribose) polymers. This process appears in response to DNA lesions. Oxidative stress, which might be involved in bovine placental retention, is the reason for oxidative DNA injury. In this mini-review, the relationship between PARP activity and bovine placental retention is discussed. The results of our ex...
