Protein–RNA interactions: Getting into the major groove
RNA–protein interactions are involved in many cellular processes, including information storage and transfer, catalysis and transcriptional activation. Our structural knowledge of these interactions at atomic resolution is based on X-ray crystallographic and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies (for a review see [1]). The crystal structures of a number of RNA–protein complexes have been rep...
متن کاملProtein targeting: Getting into the groove
The 54 kDa subunit of the signal recognition particle has to identify a diverse family of substrates and deliver them in a controlled manner to the translocation machinery of the endoplasmic reticulum. Important new insights into the function of this sorting protein have emerged from recent biochemical and structural studies.
متن کاملDevelopment: Getting into the Groove, or Evolving off the Rails?
Canalization, the robust buffering against fluctuations, is often regarded as an essential feature of development. A new study identifies a genetic circuit dedicated to canalization in Drosophila melanogaster and shows striking variability in its use in different fly species.
متن کاملGetting the Groove into Silicone – Let Light Do the Job
Patterned deep UV-irradiation of cured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) followed by wet-chemical etching is a convenient method to create microstructures in this material with structural depths up to 10 μm. The intrinsic elasticity of many polydimethylsiloxanes allows the introduction of a new parameter influencing the patterning process: elongation. Symmetric stretching during the irradiation, subs...
متن کاملFluorescent d(CGCGAATTCGCG): characterization of major groove polarity and study of minor groove interactions through a major groove semantophore conjugate
The major and minor groove in duplex DNA are sites of specific molecular recognition by DNA-binding agents such as proteins, drugs and metal complexes and have functional significance. In view of this, understanding of the inherent differences in their environment and the allosteric information transfer between them induced by DNA-binding agents assumes importance. Site-specific incorporation o...
