Both structural and thermodynamic studies are necessary to understand the ribosome assembly. An initial step was made in studying the interaction between a 16S rRNA fragment and S7, a key protein in assembling the prokaryotic ribosome small subunit. The apparent dissociation constant was obtained for complexes of recombinant Escherichia coliandThermus thermophilusS7 with a fragment of the 3" domain of the E. coli16S rRNA. Both proteins showed high rRNA-binding activity, which was not observed earlier. Since RNA and proteins are conformationally labile, their folding must be considered to correctly describe the RNA–protein interactions. 相似文献

Fluorescence spectroscopic and kinetic analysis of photochemical activity, cofactor and substrate binding, and enzyme denaturation studies were performed with highly purified, recombinant pea NADPH:protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (POR) heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The results obtained with an individual stereoisomer of the substrate [C8-ethyl-C13(2)-(R)-protochlorophyllide] demonstrate that the enzyme photoactive state possesses a characteristic fluorescence maximum at 646 nm that is due to the presence of specific charged amino acids in the enzyme catalytic site. The photoactive state is converted directly into an intermediate having fluorescence at 685 nm in a reaction involving direct hydrogen transfer from the cofactor (NADPH). Site-directed mutagenesis of the highly conserved Tyr275 (Y275F) and Lys279 (K279I and K279R) residues in the enzyme catalytic pocket demonstrated that the presence of these two amino acids in the wild-type POR considerably increases the probability of photoactive state formation following cofactor and substrate binding by the enzyme. At the same time, the presence of these two amino acids destabilizes POR and increases the rate of enzyme denaturation. Neither Tyr275 nor Lys279 plays a crucial role in the binding of the substrate or cofactor by the enzyme. In addition, the presence of Tyr275 is absolutely necessary for the second step of the protochlorophyllide reduction reaction, "dark" conversion of the 685 nm fluorescence intermediate and the formation of the final product, chlorophyllide. We propose that Tyr275 and Lys279 participate in the proper coordination of NADPH and PChlide in the enzyme catalytic site and thereby control the efficiency of the formation of the POR photoactive state. 相似文献

We previously identified a gene signature predicted to regulate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in both epithelial tissue stem cells and breast cancer cells. A phenotypic RNA interference (RNAi) screen identified the genes within this 140-gene signature that promoted the conversion of mesenchymal epithelial cell adhesion molecule-negative (EpCAM−) breast cancer cells to an epithelial EpCAM+/high phenotype. The screen identified 10 of the 140 genes whose individual knockdown was sufficient to promote EpCAM and E-cadherin expression. Among these 10 genes, RNAi silencing of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling factor Smarcd3/Baf60c in EpCAM− breast cancer cells gave the most robust transition from the mesenchymal to epithelial phenotype. Conversely, expression of Smarcd3/Baf60c in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells induced an EMT. The mesenchymal-like phenotype promoted by Smarcd3/Baf60c expression resulted in gene expression changes in human mammary epithelial cells similar to that of claudin-low triple-negative breast cancer cells. These mammary epithelial cells expressing Smarcd3/Baf60c had upregulated Wnt5a expression. Inhibition of Wnt5a by either RNAi knockdown or blocking antibody reversed Smarcd3/Baf60c-induced EMT. Thus, Smarcd3/Baf60c epigenetically regulates EMT by activating WNT signaling pathways. 相似文献

The promoter-probing vector (pSK plasmid) was explored for cloning of the fragments from lambda cI857 and lambda b2 DNAs containing different regions of the att site. We have constructed all-tet fusions where the fusions are: 1) HindIII/BamHI-491 base pairs (b. p.) fragment of lambda cI857 DNA containing POP' site (plasmid pSK-PP'); 2) AluI-242 b. p. fragment of lambda cI857 DNA containing the left arm of the POP' site (plasmid pSK-P); 3) AluI-242 b. p. fragment of lambda cI857 DNA with opposite orientation (plasmid pSK-P); 4) EcoRI/BamHI-750 b. p. fragment of lambda b2 DNA containing the right arm of the POP' site (plasmid pSK-P'). These fusions permit us to analyse the effect of various pieces of the attachment site on the expression tet gene as the result of reparation of this gene promoter. We find that expression of tet (tetracycline resistant phenotype) takes place in the pSK-PP' and pSK-P but not in the pSK-P' and pSK-P. These facts permit us to conclude that the left arm of the att site contains a rightward promoter functioning in vivo. We postulate that this promoter activity might correspond to the promoter patt, which was described in previous experiments in vitro. 相似文献
