  • TSWV and RSV N proteins also co-localized with Ran GTPase-activating protein 2 (RanGAP2), a nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling factor, in the perinuclear region, and partly in the nucleus when co-expressed with its WPP domain containing a nuclear-localization signal. (wur.nl)
  • Structure-guided mutagenesis reveals key RNA contact residues that are critical for RocC/RocR to repress the uptake of environmental DNA in L. pneumophila . (nature.com)
  • The SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA skirts all these alarm signals as it is properly capped and methylated by the virus's own proteins. (williamhaseltine.com)
  • Phosphorylation increases the ability of the protein to bind to mRNA caps and to form the eIF4F complex. (affbiotech.com)
  • During in vivo cap-donor competition experiments, TSWV used transcripts destined to PB and SG, but also functional transcripts engaged in translation. (wur.nl)
  • The primary transcripts are modified and trimmed to produce the mature RNAs. (basicmedicalkey.com)
  • Sci Rep. 2018) and nucleoside analogue, RNA synthesis inhibitors (Kouba et al . (embl.org)
  • Three other factors, eIF1, eIF1A, and eIF3, also bind to the 40S subunit and promote the loading of the TC. (nih.gov)
  • and the 40S subunit- and RNA-binding protein eIF4B. (nih.gov)
  • These events include ejection of eIF1 from its binding site on the 40S subunit, movement of the C-terminal tail (CTT) of eIF1A, and release of phosphate from eIF2, which converts eIF2 to its GDP-bound state. (nih.gov)
  • The N-terminal domain of the a subunit of eIF3 plays an important role in stabilizing mRNA binding in the exit channel (Reference 1). (nih.gov)
  • MucR is a member of the Ros/MucR family, which comprises prokaryotic zinc-finger proteins and includes Ros from Agrobacterium tumefaciens and the Ml proteins from Mesorhizobium loti. (cnr.it)
  • In a study to identify cellular proteins required by the H1N1 influenza virus, collaborators from Howard Hughes Medical Institute , Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, Yale Medical School, and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute have now made an unexpected discovery. (drugdiscoveryopinion.com)
  • SUSA2 encodes an F-box protein Actin-Related Protein 8 (ARP8) and SUSA3 encodes the chaperone protein HSP90.3. (ubc.ca)
  • A 116-amino acid fragment of the guanylyl-transferase Pce1 suffices for binding to the Spt5 C-terminal domain (CTD) but not for binding to the Po1-II CTD. (mskcc.org)
  • Every protein actually represents a chain of amino acids, the polypeptide. (cbsetuts.com)
  • The polypeptide chain is the primary configuration of a protein in which the amino acids may be linked in the linear array by an organized system within the cell. (cbsetuts.com)
  • Altogether 20 amino acids are involved in the formation of protein. (cbsetuts.com)
  • The process is known as protein biosynthesis and involves the construction of protein chains from individual amino acids in a particular sequence. (biologydictionary.net)
  • All amino acids have a central alpha carbon atom upon which is bound a carboxyl group (COOH), a hydrogen atom (H), an amine group (NH 2 ), and a functional and variable radical side chain which defines which amino acid it is. (biologydictionary.net)
  • Each protein is the combination of a specific sequence of amino acids, built according to the blueprint contained within the DNA. (biologydictionary.net)
