Structural Basis of Core Promoter Recognition in a Primitive Eukaryote
Transcription start site selection in eukaryotes is mediated through combinations of the TATA, initiator (Inr), and downstream promoter elements (DPE). In Trichomonas vaginalis, a parabasalian flagellate thought to represent an ancient eukaryote lineage, the Inr appears to be solely responsible for start site selection and is recognized by the initiator binding protein 39 kDa (IBP39). IBP39 con...
متن کاملinvestigating the integration of translation technologies into translation programs in iranian universities: basis for a syllabus design in translation technology
today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...
Transcriptional analysis of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene in the primitive eukaryote, Giardia lamblia. Identification of a primordial gene promoter.
We studied gene expression in the ancient eukaryote, Giardia lamblia, by taking advantage of assays developed recently in our laboratory, which allow new genetic analyses of this organism. We examined the transcription of a 2.2-kilobase segment of the Giardia genome that contains the glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) gene and a portion of a second open reading frame encoding an uncharacterized gene...
متن کاملStructural Basis of Natural Promoter Recognition by the Retinoid X Nuclear Receptor
Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) act as homodimers or heterodimerisation partners of class II nuclear receptors. RXR homo- and heterodimers bind direct repeats of the half-site (A/G)G(G/T)TCA separated by 1 nucleotide (DR1). We present a structural characterization of RXR-DNA binding domain (DBD) homodimers on several natural DR1s and an idealized symmetric DR1. Homodimers displayed asymmetric bindi...
