Dicer-related helicase 3 forms an obligate dimer for recognizing 22G-RNA
Dicer is a specialized nuclease that produces RNA molecules of specific lengths for use in gene silencing pathways. Dicer relies on the correct measurement of RNA target duplexes to generate products of specific lengths. It is thought that Dicer uses its multidomain architecture to calibrate RNA product length. However, this measurement model is derived from structural information from a protoz...
متن کاملThe eIF4F and eIFiso4F Complexes of Plants: An Evolutionary Perspective
Translation initiation in eukaryotes requires a number of initiation factors to recruit the assembled ribosome to mRNA. The eIF4F complex plays a key role in initiation and is a common target point for regulation of protein synthesis. Most work on the translation machinery of plants to date has focused on flowering plants, which have both the eIF4F complex (eIF4E and eIF4G) as well as the plant...
متن کاملD Dimer Assay
Introduction A new test for determination of circulating fibrin degradation products has recently been marketed in the U.S. Known genericaUy as the D-dimer assay, it is a direct latex agglutination assay employing monoclonal anubody specific for digestion products of crosslinked fibrin. It is offered as an alternative to or replacement for the widely available Thrombo-Wellcotest assay for fibri...
متن کاملConversion of monomeric protein L to an obligate dimer by computational protein design.
Protein L consists of a single alpha-helix packed on a four-stranded beta-sheet formed by two symmetrically opposed beta-hairpins. We use a computer-based protein design procedure to stabilize a domain-swapped dimer of protein L in which the second beta-turn straightens and the C-terminal strand inserts into the beta-sheet of the partner. The designed obligate dimer contains three mutations (A5...
متن کاملMembrane Tethering Complexes in the Endosomal System
Vesicles that are generated by endocytic events at the plasma membrane are destined to early endosomes. A prerequisite for proper fusion is the tethering of two membrane entities. Tethering of vesicles to early endosomes is mediated by the class C core vacuole/endosome tethering (CORVET) complex, while fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes depends on the homotypic fusion and vacuole protein s...
