Manganese-superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in human fibroblast and liver lysates was found to bind copper avidly under the conditions of a copper blotting technique which also detects known copper-binding proteins. Competition studies suggest that the copper-binding site of the molecule under these conditions is distinct from its manganese-binding site. Copper blotting provides a sensitive way to detect MnSOD in human tissues, and may be generally applicable to studies of copper-binding by biological molecules. 相似文献

A trinucleotide repeat-associated increase in the level of Alu RNA-binding protein occurred during the same period as the major Alu amplification that accompanied anthropoid evolution. 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
Nearly 1 million Alu elements in human DNA were inserted by an RNA-mediated retroposition-amplification process that clearly decelerated about 30 million years ago. Since then, Alu sequences have proliferated at a lower rate, including within the human genome, in which Alu mobility continues to generate genetic variability. Initially derived from 7SL RNA of the signal recognition particle (SRP), Alu became a dominant retroposon while retaining secondary structures found in 7SL RNA. We previously identified a human Alu RNA-binding protein as a homolog of the 14-kDa Alu-specific protein of SRP and have shown that its expression is associated with accumulation of 3'-processed Alu RNA. Here, we show that in early anthropoids, the gene encoding SRP14 Alu RNA-binding protein was duplicated and that SRP14-homologous sequences currently reside on different human chromosomes. In anthropoids, the active SRP14 gene acquired a GCA trinucleotide repeat in its 3'-coding region that produces SRP14 polypeptides with extended C-terminal tails. A C-->G substitution in this region converted the mouse sequence CCA GCA to GCA GCA in prosimians, which presumably predisposed this locus to GCA expansion in anthropoids and provides a model for other triplet expansions. Moreover, the presence of the trinucleotide repeat in SRP14 DNA and the corresponding C-terminal tail in SRP14 are associated with a significant increase in SRP14 polypeptide and Alu RNA-binding activity. These genetic events occurred during the period in which an acceleration in Alu retroposition was followed by a sharp deceleration, suggesting that Alu repeats coevolved with C-terminal variants of SRP14 in higher primates. 相似文献
