Aflatoxins are polyketide-derived secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus spp. The toxic effects of aflatoxins have adverse
consequences for human health and agricultural economics. The aflR gene, a regulatory gene for aflatoxin biosynthesis, encodes a
protein containing a zinc-finger DNA-binding motif. AFLR-Protein three-dimensional model was generated using Robetta server.
The modeled AFLR-Protein was further optimization and validation using Rampage. In the simulations, we monitored the
backbone atoms and the C-α-helix of the modeled protein. The low RMSD and the simulation time indicate that, as expected, the
3D structural model of AFLR-protein represents a stable folding conformation. This study paves the way for generating computer
molecular models for proteins whose crystal structures are not available and which would aid in detailed molecular mechanism of
inhibition of aflatoxin. 相似文献

Visualization of molecular structures aids in the understanding of structural and functional roles of biological macromolecules.
Macromolecular transport between the cell nucleus and cytoplasm is facilitated by the nuclear pore complex (NPC). The ring
structure of the NPC is large and contains several distinct proteins (nucleoporins) which function as a selective gate for the passage
of certain molecules into and out of the nucleus. In this note we demonstrate the utility of a python code that allows direct
mapping of the physiochemical properties of the constituent nucleoporins on the scaffold of the yeast NPC׳s cytoplasmic view. We
expect this tool to be useful for researchers to visualize the NPC based on their physiochemical properties and how it alters when
specific mutations are introduced in one or more of the nucleoporins. The code developed using Python is available freely from the
authors. 相似文献

Human thyroid peroxidase (hTPO) catalyzes a one-electron oxidation of benzidine derivatives by hydrogen peroxide through classical Chance mechanism. The complete reduction of peroxidase oxidation products by ascorbic acid with the regeneration of primary aminobiphenyls was observed only in the case of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The kinetic characteristics (k(cat) and K(m)) of benzidine (BD), 3,3'-dimethylbenzidine (o-tolidine), 3,3'-dimethoxybenzidine (o-dianisidine), and TMB oxidation at 25 degrees C in 0.05 M phosphate-citrate buffer, pH 5.5, catalyzed by hTPO and horseradish peroxidase (HPR) were determined. The effective K(m) values for aminobiphenyls oxidation by both peroxidases raise with the increase of number of methyl and methoxy substituents in the benzidine molecule. Efficiency of aminobiphenyls oxidation catalyzed by either hTPO or HRP increases with the number of substituents in 3, 3', 5, and 5' positions of the benzidine molecule, which is in accordance with redox potential values for the substrates studied. The efficiency of HRP in the oxidation of benzidine derivatives expressed as k(cat)/K(m) was about two orders of magnitude higher as compared with hTPO. Straight correlation between the carcinogenicity of aminobiphenyls and genotoxicity of their peroxidation products was shown by the electrophoresis detecting the formation of covalent DNA cross-linking. 相似文献

Problems presented by genera, or small groups of genera, which have been given family rank are reviewed, and the genera are divided into a number of categories according to the closeness of their affinity to other genera or families. Satellite genera that stand in close relation to families should be united with them. Binary families, that have been divided into two (or more) related families, should be re–united. Families connected by linking genera, should, logically, be united but practical considerations usually prevent this. Clusters of diverse but more or less distantly related genera present unusual problems, being treated either as several, often monogeneric families or as a loosely structured family. Truly isolated genera must be given family and often ordinal rank. 相似文献
