The terminal DNA structure of mammalian chromosomes.
In virtually all eukaryotic organisms, telomeric DNA is composed of a variable number of short direct repeats. While the primary sequence of telomeric repeats has been determined for a great variety of species, the actual physical DNA structure at the ends of a bona fide metazoan chromosome with a centromere is unknown. It is shown here that an overhang of the strand forming the 3' ends of the ...
متن کاملBS69/ZMYND11 C-Terminal Domains Bind and Inhibit EBNA2
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) plays an important role in driving immortalization of EBV-infected B cells through regulating the expression of many viral and cellular genes. We report a structural study of the tumor suppressor BS69/ZMYND11 C-terminal region, comprised of tandem coiled-coil-MYND domains (BS69CC-MYND), in complex with an EBNA2 peptide containing a PXLXP motif....
متن کاملStructural and Functional Comparisons of Retroviral Envelope Protein C-Terminal Domains: Still Much to Learn
Retroviruses are a family of viruses that cause a broad range of pathologies in animals and humans, from the apparently harmless, long-term genomic insertion of endogenous retroviruses, to tumors induced by the oncogenic retroviruses and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) resulting from human immunodeficiency virus infection. Disease can be the result of diverse mechanisms, including tum...
متن کاملSynthetic mimetics of protein secondary structure domains
Proteins modulate the majority of all biological functions and are primarily composed of highly organized secondary structural elements such as helices, turns and sheets. Many of these functions are affected by a small number of key protein-protein contacts, often involving one or more of these well-defined structural elements. Given the ubiquitous nature of these protein recognition domains, t...
متن کاملThe C-terminal repeat domains of nsP3 from the Old World alphaviruses bind directly to G3BP.
The Old World alphaviruses block stress granule assembly by sequestration of RasGAP SH3-domain binding protein (G3BP). Here, we show that the proline-rich sequences in the hypervariable domain of nonstructural protein 3 (nsP3) of both Semliki Forest virus and Chikungunya virus were dispensable for binding to G3BP. nsP3 variants with or without this domain colocalized with G3BP. Furthermore, we ...
