Identification and sequence analysis of two new members of the SKALP/elafin and SPAI-2 gene family. Biochemical properties of the transglutaminase substrate motif and suggestions for a new nomenclature.
The human epithelial proteinase inhibitor SKALP/elafin and the porcine sodium-potassium ATPase inhibitor SPAI-2 are two highly homologous proteins that share an NH2-terminal transglutaminase substrate domain and a COOH-terminal whey acidic protein (WAP) domain. Here we describe the bovine and simian orthologs of SKALP/elafin as well as two new bovine family members that are designated Trappin-4...
متن کاملDNA-binding properties of ARID family proteins
The ARID (A-T Rich Interaction Domain) is a helix-turn-helix motif-based DNA-binding domain, conserved in all eukaryotes and diagnostic of a family that includes 15 distinct human proteins with important roles in development, tissue-specific gene expression and proliferation control. The 15 human ARID family proteins can be divided into seven subfamilies based on the degree of sequence identity...
متن کاملMarkovian Structures in Biological Sequence
SUMMARY The alignment of multiple homologous biopolymer sequences is crucial in research on protein modeling and engineering, molecular evolution, and prediction both as to gene function and gene product's structure. In this article, we provide a coherent view of the two recent models used for multiple sequence alignment | the hidden Markov model (HMM) and the block-based motif model | in order...
متن کاملSequence, structural and evolutionary relationships between class 2 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases
Class 2 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, which include the enzymes for alanine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glycine, histidine, lysine, phenylalanine, proline, serine and threonine, are characterised by three distinct sequence motifs 1,2 and 3 (reference 1). The structural and evolutionary relatedness of these ten enzymes are examined using alignments of primary sequences from prokaryotic and eukaryo...
