The Tail that Wags the Dog
Tails are of paramount importance in shaping the risk profile of portfolios with credit risk sensitive securities. In this context risk management tools require simulations that accurately capture the tails, and optimization models that limit tail effects. Ignoring the tails in the simulation or using inadequate optimization metrics can have significant effects and destroy portfolio efficiency....
متن کاملDNA chirality-dependent stimulation of topoisomerase IV activity by the C-terminal AAA+ domain of FtsK
We have studied the stimulation of topoisomerase IV (Topo IV) by the C-terminal AAA+ domain of FtsK. These two proteins combine to assure proper chromosome segregation in the cell. Stimulation of Topo IV activity was dependent on the chirality of the DNA substrate: FtsK stimulated decatenation of catenated DNA and relaxation of positively supercoiled [(+)ve sc] DNA, but inhibited relaxation of ...
متن کاملThe tail that wags the dog: the globular tail domain defines the function of myosin V/XI.
Actin-based organelle movements are driven by the related multifunctional myosin motors of class V in animals and fungi and class XI in plants. The versatility of these motors depends critically on their C-terminal globular tail domain that allows them to bind to a broad variety of cargo molecules. Regulation of this motor-cargo attachment is frequently employed to modulate organelle movement. ...
متن کاملCarboxyl terminal domain basic amino acids of mycobacterial topoisomerase I bind DNA to promote strand passage
Bacterial DNA topoisomerase I (topoI) carries out relaxation of negatively supercoiled DNA through a series of orchestrated steps, DNA binding, cleavage, strand passage and religation. The N-terminal domain (NTD) of the type IA topoisomerases harbor DNA cleavage and religation activities, but the carboxyl terminal domain (CTD) is highly diverse. Most of these enzymes contain a varied number of ...
متن کاملTopoisomerase II minimizes DNA entanglements by proofreading DNA topology after DNA strand passage
By transporting one DNA double helix (T-segment) through a double-strand break in another (G-segment), topoisomerase II reduces fractions of DNA catenanes, knots and supercoils to below equilibrium values. How DNA segments are selected to simplify the equilibrium DNA topology is enigmatic, and the biological relevance of this activity is unclear. Here we examined the transit of the T-segment ac...
