The sequences of the 5' long-terminal repeat (LTR) and adjacent leader
regions of 27 full-length copia elements isolated from natural populations
of Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans, and D. mauritiana are presented.
Phylogenetic analyses indicate that although D. melanogaster copia elements
are distinct from those of D. simulans and D. mauritiana, the elements of
these latter two species are not distinguishable from one another. LTRs and
adjacent 5' leader regions of elements isolated from D. simulans and D.
mauritiana are structurally similar to one another and carry substantial
deletional variation mapping to regions previously identified as being of
potential importance for copia expression.

The functional and biological significance of selected CASP13 targets are described by the authors of the structures. The structural biologists discuss the most interesting structural features of the target proteins and assess whether these features were correctly reproduced in the predictions submitted to the CASP13 experiment. 相似文献

Adults of the human parasitic trematode Schistosoma mansoni, which causes
hepatosplenic/intestinal complications in humans, synthesize
glycoconjugates containing the Lewis x (Lex) Galbeta1-->4(Fucalpha1--
>3)GlcNAcbeta1-->R, but not sialyl Lewis x (sLex), antigen. We now
report on our analyses of Lexand sLexexpression in S.haematobium and
S.japonicum, which are two other major species of human schistosomes that
cause disease, and the possible autoimmunity to these antigens in infected
individuals. Antigen expression was evaluated by both ELISA and Western
blot analyses of detergent extracts of parasites using monoclonal
antibodies. Several high molecular weight glycoproteins in both S.
haematobium and S. japonicum contain the Lexantigen, but no sialyl
Lexantigen was detected. In addition, sera from humans and rodents infected
with S.haematobium and S.japonicum contain antibodies reactive with Lex.
These results led us to investigate whether Lexantigens are expressed in
other helminths, including the parasitic trematode Fasciola hepatica , the
parasitic nematode Dirofilaria immitis (dog heartworm), the ruminant
nematode Haemonchus contortus , and the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis
elegans . Neither Lexnor sialyl-Lexis detectable in these other helminths.
Furthermore, none of the helminths, including schistosomes, express Lea,
Leb, Ley, or the H- type 1 antigen. However, several glycoproteins from all
helminths analyzed are bound by Lotus tetragonolobus agglutinin , which
binds Fucalpha1-->3GlcNAc, and Wisteria floribunda agglutinin, which
binds GalNAcbeta1-->4GlcNAc (lacdiNAc or LDN). Thus, schistosomes may be
unique among helminths in expressing the Lexantigen, whereas many different
helminths may express alpha1,3-fucosylated glycans and the LDN motif.

Capsid proteins of several different families of non-enveloped animal viruses with single-stranded RNA genomes undergo autocatalytic cleavage (autocleavage) as a maturation step in assembly. Similarly, the 76 kDa major outer-capsid protein mu1 of mammalian orthoreoviruses (reoviruses), which are non-enveloped and have double-stranded RNA genomes, undergoes putative autocleavage between residues 42 and 43, yielding N-terminal N-myristoylated fragment mu1N and C-terminal fragment mu1C. Cleavage at this site allows release of mu1N, which is thought to be critical for penetration of the host-cell membrane during cell entry. Most previous studies have suggested that cleavage at the mu1N/mu1C junction precedes addition to the outer capsid during virion assembly, such that only a small number of the mu1 subunits in mature virions remain uncleaved at that site (approximately 5%). In this study, we varied the conditions for disruption of virions before running the proteins on denaturing gels and in several circumstances recovered much higher levels of uncleaved mu1 (up to approximately 60%). Elements of the disruption conditions that allowed greater recovery of uncleaved protein were increased pH, absence of reducing agent, and decreased temperature. These same elements allowed comparably higher levels of the mu1delta protein, in which cleavage at the mu1N/delta junction has not occurred, to be recovered from particle uncoating intermediates in which mu1 had been previously cleaved by chymotrypsin in a distinct protease-sensitive region near residue 580. The capacity to recover higher levels of mu1delta following disruption of these particles for electrophoresis was lost, however, in concert with a series of structural changes that activate the particles for membrane permeabilization, suggesting that the putative autocleavage is itself one of these changes. 相似文献
