Sequence-specific recognition of double helical nucleic acids by proteins.

The base pairs in double helical nucleic acids have been compared to see how they can be recognized by proteins. We conclude that a single hydrogen bond is inadequate for uniquely identifying any particular base pair, as this leads to numerous degeneracies. However, using two hydrogen bonds, fidelity of base pair recognition may be achieved. We propose specific amino-acid side chain interaction...

Chicken Y-box proteins chk-YB-1b and chk-YB-2 repress translation by sequence-specific interaction with single-stranded RNA.

Y-Box proteins comprise a large family of multifunctional proteins with a wide spectrum of activities in both transcription and translational regulation of gene expression. Earlier, we have reported on the involvement of chk-YB-2 in transcriptional regulation of Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeats and the involvement of chk-YB-1b in transcriptional regulation of alpha1(I) collagen genes. H...

A MODEL FOR THE BASIC HELIX- LOOPHELIX MOTIF AND ITS SEQUENCE SPECIFIC RECOGNITION OF DNA

A three dimensional model of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix motif and its sequence specific recognition of DNA is described. The basic-helix I is modeled as a continuous ?-helix because no ?-helix breaking residue is found between the basic region and the first helix. When the basic region of the two peptide monomers are aligned in the successive major groove of the cognate DNA, the hydrophobi...

DEADSouth is a germ plasm specific DEAD-box RNA helicase in Xenopus related to eIF4A

DEADSouth was selected in a screen for localized RNAs in Xenopus oocytes. In situ hybridization analysis shows that DEADSouth localizes to the vegetal cortex via the mitochondrial cloud early in oogenesis and segregates with germ plasm during early embryogenesis. These results lend further support for the general concept that the role of the early RNA localization pathway in Xenopus is to local...

RNA-binding properties of the mitochondrial Y-box protein RBP16.

We have previously identified a mitochondrial Y-box protein in Trypanosoma brucei that we designated RBP16. The predicted RBP16 amino acid sequence revealed the presence of a cold-shock domain at its N-terminus and a glycine- and arginine-rich C-terminus reminiscent of an RGG RNA-binding motif. Since RBP16 is capable of interacting with different guide RNAs (gRNAs) in vitro and in vivo primaril...
