The Role of Highly Conserved Tryptophan in the Sixth Conserved Region at Substrate Specificity of α- amylase
Early in this study, an α-Amylase from Bacillus megaterium WHO (BMW) was isolated from hot springs of Ramsar (North of Iran), and its gene was cloned in E.coli. Based on its conserved sequence regions and substrate specificity, it was classified as intermediary group enzymes with the specificity of oligo-1,6-glucosidase and neopullulanase subfamilies. In the sixth conserved re...
متن کاملRNAa Is Conserved in Mammalian Cells
BACKGROUND RNA activation (RNAa) is a newly discovered mechanism of gene activation triggered by small double-stranded RNAs termed 'small activating RNAs' (saRNAs). Thus far, RNAa has only been demonstrated in human cells and is unclear whether it is conserved in other mammals. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In the present study, we evaluated RNAa in cells derived from four mammalian species ...
متن کاملSalt bridge in the conserved His-Asp cluster in Gloeobacter rhodopsin contributes to trimer formation.
Gloeobacter rhodopsin (GR) is a eubacterial proton pump having a highly conserved histidine near the retinal Schiff base counter-ion, aspartate. Various interactions between His and Asp of the eubacterial proton pump have been reported. Here, we showed the pH-dependent trimer/monomer transition of GR in the presence of dodecyl-β-D-maltoside by size-exclusion chromatography. The pH dependence wa...
متن کاملSalt-specific stability and denaturation of a short salt-bridge forming α-helix
The structure of a single alanine-based Ace-AEAAAKEAAAKA-Nme peptide in explicit aqueous electrolyte solutions (NaCl, KCl, NaI, and KF) at large salt concentrations (3-4 M) is investigated using ≃ 1 μs molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations. The peptide displays 71% α-helical structure without salt and destabilizes with the addition of NaCl in agreement with experiments of a somewhat long...
