Determinants of DNA quadruplex structural type: sequence and potassium binding.
There are DNA sequences which adopt the same quadruplex structural type in the presence of sodium as in the presence of sodium and potassium. There are also sequences that appear to have a requirement for the presence of potassium for the adoption of a particular quadruplex structural type. Information about the basis for these potassium effects has been obtained by examining the structures of ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Profiles Reveal Structural and Functional Determinants of Lipid-binding.
One of the major challenges in the genomic era is annotating structure/function to the vast quantities of sequence information now available. Indeed, most of the protein sequence database lacks comprehensive annotation, even when experimental evidence exists. Further, within structurally resolved and functionally annotated protein domains, additional functionalities contained in these domains a...
متن کاملStructural and Functional Determinants of Conserved Lipid Interaction Domains of Inward Rectifying Kir6.2 Channels
All members of the inward rectifiier K(+) (Kir) channel family are activated by phosphoinositides and other amphiphilic lipids. To further elucidate the mechanistic basis, we examined the membrane association of Kir6.2 fragments of K(ATP) channels, and the effects of site-directed mutations of these fragments and full-length Kir6.2 on membrane association and K(ATP) channel activity, respective...
متن کاملStructural analysis of Mg2+ and Ca2+ binding to CaBP1, a neuron-specific regulator of calcium channels.
CaBP1 (calcium-binding protein 1) is a 19.4-kDa protein of the EF-hand superfamily that modulates the activity of Ca(2+) channels in the brain and retina. Here we present data from NMR, microcalorimetry, and other biophysical studies that characterize Ca(2+) binding, Mg(2+) binding, and structural properties of recombinant CaBP1 purified from Escherichia coli. Mg(2+) binds constitutively to CaB...
متن کاملStructural Determinants for Specific Recognition
DNA glycosylases catalyze the scission of the N-glycosyl bond linking either a damaged or mismatched base to the DNA sugar phosphate backbone. T4 endonuclease V is a glycosylase/apurinic (AP) lyase that is specific for UV light-induced cis-syn pyrimidine dimers. As a proposed transition state analog/inhibitor for glycosylases, a phosphoramidite derivative containing a pyrrolidine residue has be...
