This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NusA is an 'E. coli' protein that controls transcription elongation, termination and antitermination. In this thesis, I show that the functions of NusA in transcription are facilitated by interactions with RNA polymerase, RNA and the [lambda] N protein. Use of a series of deletion constructs of NusA allowed me to identify specific regions of NusA involved in specific interactions and in various aspects of NusA function. Genetic evidence suggested that NusA may interact with the 'boxA ' portion of the N-utilization site ('nut' site= ' boxA, interbox,' and 'boxB'). By constructing multiple nucleotide substitutions in the 'nut' site, I showed that the identities of certain nucleotides at the 3' end of ' boxA' and in the 'interbox ' were important for NusA to associate with an N-'nut' site complex. NusA association with RNA in the presence of N is presumably facilitated by its S1 and KH homology regions, two types of RNA-binding domains in NusA. Elimination or mutation of the S1 homology region prevented the association of NusA with an N-' nut' site complex. Using affinity chromatography experiments, I found that RNA polymerase bound equally well to an amino-terminal RNA polymerase-binding region in amino acids 1-137 and a carboxy-terminal RNA polymerase-binding region in amino acids 232-495 of NusA. By contrast, the à subunit of RNA polymerase only bound to the carboxy-terminal RNA polymerase-binding region of NusA. N protein also bound to a carboxy-terminal region of NusA, and both N and à allowed NusA to associate with RNA in a gel mobility shift assay. When the carboxy-terminal region of NusA was deleted in NusA (1-348), the loss of N-binding and Ã-binding ability did not abolish NusA function in termination and antitermination assays. This minimal functional NusA protein retained the KH and S1 homology regions and the amino-terminal RNA polymerase-binding region. Unlike full length NusA (1-495), NusA (1-416) could bind RNA on its own. These observations suggest that the carboxy-terminal region of NusA inhibits RNA binding and that this inhibition can be relieved by interaction with the [lambda] N protein or the à subunit of RNA polymerase.

Download or read book The Bacteriophages written by Richard Calendar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative, timely, and comprehensively referenced compendium on the bacteriophages explores current views of how viruses infect bacteria. In combination with classical phage molecular genetics, new structural, genomic, and single-molecule technologies have rendered an explosion in our knowledge of phages. Bacteriophages, the most abundant and genetically diverse type of organism in the biosphere, were discovered at the beginning of the 20th century and enjoyed decades of used as anti-bacterial agents before being eclipsed by the antibiotic era. Since 1988, phages have come back into the spotlight as major factors in pathogenesis, bacterial evolution, and ecology. This book reveals their compelling elegence of function and their almost inconceivable diversity.Much of the founding work in molecular biology and structural biology was done on bacteriophages. These are widely used in molecular biology research and in biotechnology, as probes and markers, and in the popular method of assesing gene expression.

This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disordered proteins are relatively recent newcomers in protein science. They were first described in detail by Wright and Dyson, in their J. Mol. Biol. paper in 1999. First, it was generally thought for more than a decade that disordered proteins or disordered parts of proteins have different amino acid compositions than folded proteins, and various prediction methods were developed based on this principle. These methods were suitable for distinguishing between the disordered (unstructured) and structured proteins known at that time. In addition, they could predict the site where a folded protein binds to the disordered part of a protein, shaping the latter into a well-defined 3D structure. Recently, however, evidence has emerged for a new type of disordered protein family whose members can undergo coupled folding and binding without the involvement of any folded proteins. Instead, they interact with each other, stabilizing their structure via “mutual synergistic folding” and, surprisingly, they exhibit the same residue composition as the folded protein. Increasingly more examples have been found where disordered proteins interact with non-protein macromolecules, adding to the already large variety of protein–protein interactions. There is also a very new phenomenon when proteins are involved in phase separation, which can represent a weak but functionally important macromolecular interaction. These phenomena are presented and discussed in the chapters of this book.
