Treble clef finger--a functionally diverse zinc-binding structural motif.
Detection of similarity is particularly difficult for small proteins and thus connections between many of them remain unnoticed. Structure and sequence analysis of several metal-binding proteins reveals unexpected similarities in structural domains classified as different protein folds in SCOP and suggests unification of seven folds that belong to two protein classes. The common motif, termed t...
متن کاملStructural basis for selectin mechanochemistry.
Selectins are adhesion molecules that resist large tensile forces applied by hydrodynamic forces to leukocytes binding to vessel walls. In crystals, the liganded (high-affinity) and unliganded (low-affinity) conformations differ in orientation between their tandem lectin and EGF domains. I examine how tensile force exerted on a selectin-ligand complex in vivo could favor the more extended, high...
متن کاملFunctional and Structural Features of Zinc Finger Protein 809
In 2009, Wolf and Goff [1] revealed that zinc finger protein 809 (ZFP809) has a central role in the transcriptional suppression of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV). It is a member of the kruppel-associated box-containing ZFPs (KRAB-ZFPs), which represent the largest single family of transcription factors in mammals. KRAB-ZFPs are exclusively found in tetrapedal vertebrates and function in ...
متن کاملZinc finger proteins: new insights into structural and functional diversity.
Zinc finger proteins are among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic genomes. Their functions are extraordinarily diverse and include DNA recognition, RNA packaging, transcriptional activation, regulation of apoptosis, protein folding and assembly, and lipid binding. Zinc finger structures are as diverse as their functions. Structures have recently been reported for many new zinc finger doma...
