Disulfide bonds are generated by quinone reduction.
The chemistry of disulfide exchange in biological systems is well studied. However, very little information is available concerning the actual origin of disulfide bonds. Here we show that DsbB, a protein required for disulfide bond formation in vivo, uses the oxidizing power of quinones to generate disulfides de novo. This is a novel catalytic activity, which to our knowledge has not yet been d...
متن کاملthe effect of consciousness raising (c-r) on the reduction of translational errors: a case study
در دوره های آموزش ترجمه استادان بیشتر سعی دارند دانشجویان را با انواع متون آشنا سازند، درحالی که کمتر به خطاهای مکرر آنان در متن ترجمه شده می پردازند. اهمیت تحقیق حاضر مبنی بر ارتکاب مکرر خطاهای ترجمانی حتی بعد از گذراندن دوره های تخصصی ترجمه از سوی دانشجویان است. هدف از آن تاکید بر خطاهای رایج میان دانشجویان مترجمی و کاهش این خطاها با افزایش آگاهی و هوشیاری دانشجویان از بروز آنها است.از آنجا ک...
15 صفحه اولIsopeptidase: a novel eukaryotic enzyme that cleaves isopeptide bonds.
In an attempt to clarify the regulatory mechanism that accounts for the shift of protein A24 in the mitotic cycle, we demonstrated the existence of an enzyme, provisionally termed isopeptidase, that cleaves A24 stoichiometrically into histone H2A and ubiquitin. Properties of this enzyme are (i) most eukaryotes, including mammals, amphibia, chicken, and yeast, contain isopeptidase in the cytopla...
متن کاملTwo intramolecular isopeptide bonds are identified in the crystal structure of the Streptococcus gordonii SspB C-terminal domain.
Streptococcus gordonii is a primary colonizer and is involved in the formation of dental plaque. This bacterium expresses several surface proteins. One of them is the adhesin SspB, which is a member of the Antigen I/II family of proteins. SspB is a large multi-domain protein that has interactions with surface molecules on other bacteria and on host cells, and is thus a key factor in the formati...
متن کاملIsopeptide bonds block the mechanical extension of pili in pathogenic Streptococcus pyogenes.
In the early stages of an infection, pathogenic bacteria use long fibrous structures known as pili as adhesive anchors for attachment to the host cells. These structures also play key roles in colony and biofilm formation. In all those processes, pili must withstand large mechanical forces. The pili of the nasty gram-positive human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes are assembled as single, microm...
