Persistent biases in the amino acid composition of prokaryotic proteins.
Correspondence analysis of 28 proteomes selected to span the entire realm of prokaryotes revealed universal biases in the proteins' amino acid distribution. Integral Inner Membrane Proteins always form an individual cluster, which can then be used to predict protein localisation in unknown proteomes, independently of the organism's biotope or kingdom. Orphan proteins are consistently rich in ar...
متن کاملProkaryotic and eukaryotic RNA polymerases have homologous core subunits.
Eukaryotic RNA polymerases are complex aggregates whose component subunits are functionally ill-defined. The gene that encodes the 140,000-dalton subunit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNA polymerase II was isolated and studied in detail to obtain clues to the protein's function. This gene, RPB2, exists in a single copy in the haploid genome. Disruption of the gene is lethal to the yeast cell. RPB...
متن کاملStop-transfer function of pseudo-random amino acid segments during translocation across prokaryotic and eukaryotic membranes.
We have measured the efficiency of stop-transfer function for a set of pseudo-random, 18-residue amino acid segments, both in Escherichia coli and in mammalian microsomes. In general, stop-transfer function correlates well with the mean hydrophobicity of the segment, though exceptions exist. Kinetic studies suggest that polar segments are rapidly translocated through the E. coli inner membrane ...
متن کاملMembrane protein insertion: mixing eukaryotic and prokaryotic concepts.
Proteins are translocated across or inserted into membranes by machines that are composed of soluble and membrane-anchored subunits. The molecular action of these machines and their evolutionary origin are at present the focus of intense research. For instance, our understanding of the mode of insertion of beta-barrel membrane proteins into the outer membrane of endosymbiotically derived organe...
متن کاملFunction of prokaryotic and eukaryotic ABC proteins in lipid transport.
ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic origins are implicated in the transport of lipids. In humans, members of the ABC protein families A, B, C, D and G are mutated in a number of lipid transport and metabolism disorders, such as Tangier disease, Stargardt syndrome, progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, adrenoleukodystrophy or ...
