The BRCA2 gene product functionally interacts with p53 and RAD51.
Germ-line mutations in the human BRCA2 gene confer susceptibility to breast cancer. Efforts to elucidate its function have revealed a putative transcriptional activation domain and in vitro interaction with the DNA repair protein RAD51. Other studies have indicated that RAD51 physically associates with the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Here we show that the BRCA2 gene product is a 460-kDa nucle...
متن کاملStructure, binding, and activity of Syd, a SecY-interacting protein.
The Syd protein has been implicated in the Sec-dependent transport of polypeptides across the bacterial inner membrane. Using Nanodiscs, we here provide direct evidence that Syd binds the SecY complex, and we demonstrate that interaction involves the two electropositive and cytosolic loops of the SecY subunit. We solve the crystal structure of Syd and together with cysteine cross-link analysis,...
متن کاملEscherichia coli RadD Protein Functionally Interacts with the Single-stranded DNA-binding Protein.
The bacterial single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) acts as an organizer of DNA repair complexes. The radD gene was recently identified as having an unspecified role in repair of radiation damage and, more specifically, DNA double-strand breaks. Purified RadD protein displays a DNA-independent ATPase activity. However, ATP hydrolytic rates are stimulated by SSB through its C terminus. The R...
متن کاملCloning of Clostridium perfringens iota toxin gene in Escherichia coli
Iota toxin is produced by Clostridium perfringens type E. This toxin causes antibiotic-associated enterotoxemia in lambs and calves. Iota toxin is a binary toxin that has two components including Ia (the enzyme component) and Ib (the binding component). Ib binds to the surface receptor of target cells and translocate Ia into the cytosol of cells. The aim of this study was to clone toxigenic epi...
متن کاملCharacterization of cold-sensitive secY mutants of Escherichia coli.
Mutations which cause poor growth at a low temperature, which affect aspects of protein secretion, and which map in or around secY (prlA) were characterized. The prlA1012 mutant, previously shown to suppress a secA mutation, proved to have a wild-type secY gene, indicating that this mutation cannot be taken as genetic evidence for the secA-secY interaction. Two cold-sensitive mutants, the secY3...
