Structural studies of large nucleoprotein particles, vaults
Vault is the largest nonicosahedral cytosolic nucleoprotein particle ever described. The widespread presence and evolutionary conservation of vaults suggest important biologic roles, although their functions have not been fully elucidated. X-ray structure of vault from rat liver was determined at 3.5 Å resolution. It exhibits an ovoid shape with a size of 40 × 40 × 67 nm(3). The cage structure ...
متن کاملPitfalls in the use of carboxylic acid anhydrides for structural studies of nucleoprotein particles.
During modification of protein amino groups with carboxylic acid anhydrides, these reagents cause a fall in pH, which can be prevented by addition of base. Although unmodified nucleosomal particles are not affected by the local transient changes in pH induced by the base (NaOH) added to prevent a fall in pH during modification, the nucleosomal particles modified by acetic anhydride are dissocia...
متن کاملDirecting Autoimmunity to Nucleoprotein Particles
Over half a million people in the United States have sys-temic lupus. Most are women in their childbearing years. They usually have arthritis and scarring rashes, and about half have kidney involvement that may progress to renal failure. With time, there is an increasing likelihood that the brain will be involved, often resulting in loss of cognitive ability, seizures, and psychosis. Although t...
متن کاملMicrosomal Nucleoprotein Particles from Pea
Much progress has recently been made in the study of the ribonucleoprotein particles associated with the microsomal fraction of cell homogenates. The shape and size of these particles as well as their distribution and organization in animal tissues have been studied with the electron microscope (1-4). They appear as round particles with diameters of 100 to 300 A in OsO4-fixed preparations of bo...
متن کاملMicrosomal Nucleoprotein Particles from Pea Seedlings
Ultracentrifugal analysis of an extract of pea epicotyls, previously freed of debris and larger particles by centrifugation at 40,000 g for 10 minutes, has revealed the presence of a major component which possesses a sedimentation coefficient of 74 S. This component constitutes about 25 per cent of the TCA-precipitable material in the clarified epicotyl extract and is estimated to make up 1 to ...
