Modification of a free Fe-S cluster cysteine residue in the active iron-responsive element-binding protein prevents RNA binding.
The iron-responsive element-binding protein (IRE-BP) binds to specific RNA stem-loop structures called iron-responsive elements (IREs), which mediate the post-transcriptional regulation of a variety of genes involved in iron metabolism. The IRE-BP is cytosolic aconitase, and a [4Fe-4S] cubane cluster is required for aconitase activity but is associated with loss of IRE binding affinity. Chemica...
متن کاملEndogenous lectins from cultured cells: subcellular localization of carbohydrate-binding protein 35 in 3T3 fibroblasts
In previous studies, a lectin designated as carbohydrate-binding protein 35 (CBP35) has been isolated from cultured 3T3 fibroblasts. In the present study, rabbit antibodies directed against CBP35 were used to analyze the subcellular distribution of CBP35 in 3T3 cells. Several lines of evidence indicate that CBP35 is found externally exposed at the cell surface: immunofluorescent staining of liv...
متن کاملH-Ras forms dimers on membrane surfaces via a protein-protein interface.
The lipid-anchored small GTPase Ras is an important signaling node in mammalian cells. A number of observations suggest that Ras is laterally organized within the cell membrane, and this may play a regulatory role in its activation. Lipid anchors composed of palmitoyl and farnesyl moieties in H-, N-, and K-Ras are widely suspected to be responsible for guiding protein organization in membranes....
متن کاملImplication of a central cysteine residue and the HHCC domain of Moloney murine leukemia virus integrase protein in functional multimerization.
Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) IN-IN protein interactions important for catalysis of strand transfer and unimolecular and bimolecular disintegration reactions were investigated by using a panel of chemically modified M-MuLV IN proteins. Functional complementation of an HHCC-deleted protein (Ndelta105) by an independent HHCC domain (Cdelta232) was severely compromised by NEM modification...
متن کاملFeature-incorporated alignment based ligand-binding residue prediction for carbohydrate-binding modules
MOTIVATION Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) share similar secondary and tertiary topology, but their primary sequence identity is low. Computational identification of ligand-binding residues allows biologists to better understand the protein-carbohydrate binding mechanism. In general, functional characterization can be alternatively solved by alignment-based manners. As alignment accuracy ba...
