Crystal structure of conserved hypothetical protein Aq1575 from Aquifex aeolicus.
The crystal structure of a conserved hypothetical protein, Aq1575, from Aquifex aeolicus has been determined by using x-ray crystallography. The protein belongs to the domain of unknown function DUF28 in the Pfam and PALI databases for which there was no structural information available until now. A structural homology search with the DALI algorithm indicates that this protein has a new fold wi...
متن کاملAlkylation damage repair protein O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase from the hyperthermophiles Aquifex aeolicus and Archaeoglobus fulgidus.
AGT (O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase) is an important DNA-repair protein that protects cells from killing and mutagenesis by alkylating agents. The AGT genes from two extremely thermophilic organisms, the bacterium Aquifex aeolicus and the archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus were PCR-derived and cloned into an expression vector. The nucleotide sequence of the Aq. aeolicus AGT encodes a 201-ami...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of MAP2191 gene, a mammalian cell entry antigen of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis
The aim of this study is to identify, clone and express a Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis specific immunogenic antigen candidate, in order to develop better reagents for diagnosis and vaccines for the protection of the host. Therefore, MAP2191 gene (a member of MAPmce5 operon) from MAP, was isolated and characterized by Bioinformatics tools and <e...
متن کاملStructure-specific tRNA-binding protein from the extreme thermophile Aquifex aeolicus.
The genome of the bacterium Aquifex aeolicus encodes a polypeptide which is related to a small portion of a sequence found in one prokaryotic and two eukaryotic tRNA synthetases. It also is related to a portion of Arc1p, a tRNA-binding protein believed to be important for nuclear trafficking of tRNAs. Here we cloned, expressed and purified the 111 amino acid polypeptide (designated Trbp111) and...
متن کاملDifferential effects of replacing Escherichia coli ribosomal protein L27 with its homologue from Aquifex aeolicus.
The rpmA gene, which encodes 50S ribosomal subunit protein L27, was cloned from the extreme thermophile Aquifex aeolicus, and the protein was overexpressed and purified. Comparison of the A. aeolicus protein with its homologue from Escherichia coli by circular dichroism analysis and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that it readily adopts some structure in solution that is v...
