Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D0 contains transactivator and DNA-binding domains.
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D0 (hnRNP D0) is an abundant, ubiquitous protein that binds RNA and DNA sequences specifically, and has been implicated in the transcriptional regulation of the human complement receptor 2 gene. We found that in vivo expression of hnRNP D0-GAL4 fusion proteins increased the transcriptional activity of a GAL4-driven reporter gene, providing direct proof th...
متن کاملLatent TGF-beta binding protein LTBP-1 contains three potential extracellular matrix interacting domains.
Latent TGF-beta binding proteins (LTBPs) are components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). They belong to the fibrillin/LTBP-superfamily, and are high molecular weight glycoproteins characterized by EGF-like repeats and 8-Cys repeats. Most LTBPs associate with the small latent forms of TGF-beta. Their roles include to facilitate the secretion of latent TGF-beta and to target it to the ECM. In o...
متن کاملThe F-plasmid TraI protein contains three functional domains required for conjugative DNA strand transfer.
The F-plasmid-encoded TraI protein, also known as DNA helicase I, is a bifunctional protein required for conjugative DNA transfer. The enzyme catalyzes two distinct but functionally related reactions required for the DNA processing events associated with conjugation: the site- and strand-specific transesterification (relaxase) reaction that provides the nick required to initiate strand transfer...
متن کاملWerner syndrome protein interacts functionally with translesion DNA polymerases.
Werner syndrome (WS) is characterized by premature onset of age-associated disorders and predisposition to cancer. The WS protein, WRN, encodes 3' --> 5' DNA helicase and 3' --> 5' DNA exonuclease activities, and is implicated in the maintenance of genomic stability. Translesion (TLS) DNA polymerases (Pols) insert nucleotides opposite replication-blocking DNA lesions and presumably prevent repl...
متن کاملThe conjugative DNA translocase TrwB is a structure-specific DNA-binding protein.
TrwB is a DNA-dependent ATPase involved in DNA transport during bacterial conjugation. The protein presents structural similarity to hexameric molecular motors such as F(1)-ATPase, FtsK, or ring helicases, suggesting that TrwB also operates as a motor, using energy released from ATP hydrolysis to pump single-stranded DNA through its central channel. In this work, we have carried out an extensiv...
