We report the isolation and characterization of a novel DNA marker (1A1) in Xqter in the region of the fragile X. Genetic studies in families segregating for the fragile X syndrome suggest that 1A1 lies between the disease mutation and the distal locus, DXS52. Studies in normal and fragile X families show that 1A1 is tightly linked to DXS52 (Zmax = 17.20; theta max = 0.03) and F8 (Zmax = 7.01; theta max = 0.08). Multipoint mapping of families supports the order Xcen-DXS105-FRAXA-1A1-DXS52-(F8, DXS115)-Xqter. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) studies demonstrate that 1A1 defines a new region of at least 2 Mb of DNA not physically linked to DXS52 or F8, thus extending the physical map of Xq27-qter to over 4 Mb. Complex partial digestion PFGE patterns, probably due to differing degrees of methylation, are observed with 1A1 in unrelated normal and fragile-X-positive individuals, whereas other distal markers give uniform digestion profiles. Physical data suggest that 1A1 lies in a region less CpG rich than other distal markers in Xq27-qter. 相似文献

The availability of NOE constraints and of the relative solution structure of a paramagnetic protein permits the use of pseudocontact
shifts as further structural constraints. We have developed a strategy based on: (1) determination of the χ tensor anisotropy
parameters from the starting structure; (2) recalculation of a new structure by using NOE and pseudocontact shift constraints simultaneously; (3) redetermination of the χ tensor anisotropy parameters from the new structure,
and so on until self-consistency. The system investigated is the cyanide derivative of a variant of the oxidized Saccharomyces cerevisiae iso-1-cytochrome c containing the Met80Ala mutation. The structure has been substantially refined. It is shown that the analysis of the deviation
of the experimental pseudocontact shifts from those calculated using the starting structure may be unsound, as may the simple
structure refinement based on the pseudocontact shift constraints only.

Most genes change expression levels across conditions, but it is unclear which of these changes represents specific regulation and what determines their quantitative degree. Here, we accurately measured activities of ~900 S. cerevisiae and ~1800 E. coli promoters using fluorescent reporters. We show that in both organisms 60–90% of promoters change their expression between conditions by a constant global scaling factor that depends only on the conditions and not on the promoter's identity. Quantifying such global effects allows precise characterization of specific regulation—promoters deviating from the global scale line. These are organized into few functionally related groups that also adhere to scale lines and preserve their relative activities across conditions. Thus, only several scaling factors suffice to accurately describe genome‐wide expression profiles across conditions. We present a parameter‐free passive resource allocation model that quantitatively accounts for the global scaling factors. It suggests that many changes in expression across conditions result from global effects and not specific regulation, and provides means for quantitative interpretation of expression profiles. 相似文献

Cytochrome rC(557) is an improperly matured, dimeric cytochrome c obtained from expression of the "signal peptide-lacking" Thermus thermophilus cycA gene in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli. It is characterized by its Q(00) (or alpha-) optical absorption band at 557 nm in the reduced form (Keightley, J. A., Sanders, D., Todaro, T. R., Pastuszyn, A., and Fee, J. A. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 12006-12016). We report results of a broad ranging, biochemical and spectral characterization of this protein that reveals the presence of a free vinyl group on the porphyrin and a disulfide bond between the protomers and supports His-Met ligation in both valence states of the iron. A 3-A resolution x-ray structure shows that, in comparison with the native protein, the heme moiety is rotated 180 degrees about its alpha,gamma-axis; cysteine 14 has formed a thioether bond with the 2-vinyl of pyrrole ring I instead of the 4-vinyl of pyrrole ring II, as occurs in the native protein; and a cysteine 11 from each protomer has formed an intermolecular disulfide bond. Numerous, minor perturbations exist within the structure of rC(557) in comparison with that of native protein, which result from heme inversion and protein-protein interactions across the dimer interface. The unusual spectral properties of rC(557) are rationalized in terms of this structure. 相似文献

Curariform alkaloids competitively inhibit muscle acetylcholine receptors (AChR) by bridging the alpha and non-alpha subunits that form the ligand-binding site. Here we delineate bound orientations of d-tubocurarine (d-TC) and its methylated derivative metocurine using mutagenesis, ligand binding measurements, and computational methods. When tested against a series of lysine mutations in the epsilon subunit, the two antagonists show marked differences in the consequences of the mutations on binding affinity. The mutations epsilon L117K, epsilon Y111K, and epsilon L109K decrease affinity of metocurine by up to 3 orders of magnitude but only slightly alter affinity of d-TC. At the alpha subunit face of the binding site, the mutation alpha Y198T decreases affinity of both antagonists, but alpha Y198F preferentially enhances affinity of d-TC. Computation of antagonist docking orientations, based on our structural model of the alpha-epsilon site of the human AChR, indicates distinct orientations of each antagonist; the flatter metocurine fits into a pocket formed principally by the epsilon subunit, whereas the more compact d-TC spans the narrower crevasse between alpha and epsilon subunits. The side chains of epsilon Tyr-111 and epsilon Thr-117 juxtapose one of two quaternary nitrogens in metocurine but are remote from the equivalent quaternary nitrogen in d-TC, which instead closely approaches alpha Tyr-198. The different docked orientations arise through tilt of the curariform scaffold by approximately 60 degrees normal to the nitrogen-nitrogen axis, together with a 20 degrees rotation about the axis. The overall mutagenesis and computational results show that despite their similar structures, d-TC and metocurine bind in distinctly different orientations to the adult human AChR. 相似文献

Peptide mimotopes of pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide of 6B serotype: a peptide mimotope can bind to two unrelated antibodies 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Two groups of bacteriophage clones displaying the antigenic properties of serotype 6B pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide (PS) were obtained from different phage libraries expressing random heptameric peptides. One group, biopanned with a mouse mAb (Hyp6BM1), is comprised of 17 phage clones expressing 10 unique sequences of linear peptides. The other group, selected with another mAb (Hyp6BM8), contained six clones, all of which expressed the identical circular peptide. Phage clones expressing the linear peptides (e.g., PhaM1L3) bound only to Hyp6BM1, but not other 6B PS-specific mAb, and their binding could be inhibited with pneumococcal capsular type 6B PS only. In contrast, a phage clone expressing the circular peptide (PhaM8C1) cross-reacted with several other 6B PS-specific mAbs, and their binding could be inhibited with pneumococcal capsular PS of 6A and 6B serotypes. Two short peptides, PepM1L3 and PepM8C1, reflecting the peptide inserts of the corresponding phage clones, could inhibit the binding of the two clones to their respective mAb. Interestingly, the peptide insert in PhaM8C1 was identical to that in PhaB3C4, a previously reported mimotope of alpha(2-->8) polysialic acid, Neisseria meningitidis group B PS. Indeed, PhaM8C1 bound to HmenB3 (a meningococcal Ab), and their association could be inhibited with alpha(2-8) polysialic acid, but not with 6B PS. Conversely, alpha(2-8) polysialic acid could not inhibit the binding of PhaM8C1 to Hyp6BM8. The two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance studies indicate that PepM8C1 peptide can assume several conformations in solution. The ability of this peptide to assume multiple conformations might account for its ability to mimic more than one Ag type. 相似文献
