Drosophila target of rapamycin kinase functions as a multimer.
Target of rapamycin (TOR) is a conserved regulator of cell growth and metabolism that integrates energy, growth factor, and nutrient signals. The 280-kDa TOR protein functions as the catalytic component of two large multiprotein complexes and consists of an N-terminal HEAT-repeat domain and a C-terminal Ser/Thr kinase domain. Here we describe an allelic series of mutations in the Drosophila Tor...
متن کاملCatalytically-active complex of HIV-1 integrase with a viral DNA substrate binds anti-integrase drugs.
HIV-1 integration into the host cell genome is a multistep process catalyzed by the virally-encoded integrase (IN) protein. In view of the difficulty of obtaining a stable DNA-bound IN at high concentration as required for structure determination, we selected IN-DNA complexes that form disulfide linkages between 5'-thiolated DNA and several single mutations to cysteine around the catalytic site...
متن کاملBiochemical Characterization of Novel Retroviral Integrase Proteins
Integrase is an essential retroviral enzyme, catalyzing the stable integration of reverse transcribed DNA into cellular DNA. Several aspects of the integration mechanism, including the length of host DNA sequence duplication flanking the integrated provirus, which can be from 4 to 6 bp, and the nucleotide preferences at the site of integration, are thought to cluster among the different retrovi...
متن کاملRetroviral integrase superfamily: the structural perspective.
The retroviral integrase superfamily (RISF) comprises numerous important nucleic acid-processing enzymes, including transposases, integrases and various nucleases. These enzymes are involved in a wide range of processes such as transposition, replication and repair of DNA, homologous recombination, and RNA-mediated gene silencing. Two out of the four enzymes that are encoded by the human immuno...
متن کاملSubstrate sequence selection by retroviral integrase.
Integration of retrovirus DNA is a specific process catalyzed by the integrase protein acting to join the viral substrate DNA (att) sequences of about 10 bases at the ends of the long terminal repeat (LTR) to various sites in the host target cell DNA. Although the interaction is sequence specific, the att sequences of different retroviruses are largely unrelated to one another and usually diffe...
