A Single-stranded Nucleic Acid-binding Protein from Artemia salina
A protein that binds tightly to single-stranded but not to double-strained nucleic acids has been purified to homogeneity from a high salt wash of ribosomes from cryptobiotic Artemia salina gastrulae. The protein, designated HD40 to indicate a helix-destabilizing protein with a molecular weight of 40,000, is present in the high-salt ribosomal wash at a level of about 2 molecules per 80 S riboso...
متن کاملSingle stranded nucleic acid binding structures on chicken lampbrush chromosomes.
In chicken oocytes, proteins of the K/J family or their analogs, such as are known to be involved in mRNA processing in humans, are closely associated with nascent C-rich RNA transcripts on the loops of lampbrush chromosomes. Using labelled single stranded nucleotide probes and an antibody to protein K, these C-rich transcripts have been mapped to six different pairs of lampbrush loops situated...
متن کاملModeling the interplay of single-stranded binding proteins and nucleic acid secondary structure
MOTIVATION There are many important proteins which bind single-stranded nucleic acids, such as the nucleocapsid protein in HIV and the RecA DNA repair protein in bacteria. The presence of such proteins can strongly alter the secondary structure of the nucleic acid molecules. Therefore, accurate modeling of the interaction between single-stranded nucleic acids and such proteins is essential to f...
متن کاملPrediction of Nucleic Acid Binding Proteins
Predicting nucleic acid‐binding motif and binding site given a protein sequence is important for understanding gene regulation, DNA repair and chromatin structure. The task of analyzing the protein–RNA binding structures manually becomes increasingly difficult as the complexity and number of protein–RNA binding structures increase. Statistical analysis of atomic ...
متن کاملSingle-stranded nucleic acid elasticity arises from internal electrostatic tension.
Understanding of the conformational ensemble of flexible polyelectrolytes, such as single-stranded nucleic acids (ssNAs), is complicated by the interplay of chain backbone entropy and salt-dependent electrostatic repulsions. Molecular elasticity measurements are sensitive probes of the statistical conformation of polymers and have elucidated ssNA conformation at low force, where electrostatic r...
