Advances in the Host Antiviral CCCH-Zinc Finger Proteins
Zinc-finger proteins (ZFPs) are the largest transcription factor family in human genome. They have recently become an area of intense study because of their broad range of biological functions, including development, differentiation, metabolism, autophagy, cancer progression and more recently because they are attractive targets for antiviral therapy [1]. The zinc fingers was first recognized as...
متن کاملA CCCH zinc finger conserved in a replication protein a homolog found in diverse Euryarchaeotes.
We describe a CCCH type of zinc finger domain in a replication protein A (RPA) homolog found in members of different lineages of the Euryarchaeota, a subdomain of Archaea. The zinc finger is characterized by CX(2)CX(8)CX(2)H, where X is any amino acid. Using MacRPA3, a representative of this new group of RPA in Methanosarcina acetivorans, we made two deletion mutants: a C-terminal deletion muta...
متن کاملRing finger motif of Arabidopsis thaliana COP1 defines a new class of zinc-binding domain.
The COP1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a protein mediating the switch between the two developmental pathways utilized in light and darkness. A cysteine-rich motif identified the COP1 protein as a member of a group of regulatory proteins which share the amino acid motif Cys-X-X-Cys-loop I-Cys-X-His-X-X-Cys-X-X-Cys-loop II-Cys-X-X-Cys (ring finger). Although this new class of cysteine-rich...
متن کاملA novel endonuclease activity associated with the Arabidopsis ortholog of the 30-kDa subunit of cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor
The polyadenylation of messenger RNAs is mediated by a multi-subunit complex that is conserved in eukaryotes. Among the most interesting of these proteins is the 30-kDa-subunit of the Cleavage and Polyadenylation Specificity Factor, or CPSF30. In this study, the Arabidopsis CPSF30 ortholog, AtCPSF30, is characterized. This protein possesses an unexpected endonucleolytic activity that is apparen...
متن کاملTreble clef finger--a functionally diverse zinc-binding structural motif.
Detection of similarity is particularly difficult for small proteins and thus connections between many of them remain unnoticed. Structure and sequence analysis of several metal-binding proteins reveals unexpected similarities in structural domains classified as different protein folds in SCOP and suggests unification of seven folds that belong to two protein classes. The common motif, termed t...
