Structure of PIN-domain protein PH0500 fromPyrococcus horikoshii

Exploring protein domain structure.

The protein databank contains coordinates of over 10,000 protein structures, which constitute more than 25,000 structural domains in total. The investigation of protein structural, functional and evolutionary relationships is fundamental to many important fields in bioinformatics research, and will be crucial in determining the function of the human and other genomes. This review describes the ...

Solution NMR structure of the 30S ribosomal protein S28E from Pyrococcus horikoshii.

We report NMR assignments and solution structure of the 71-residue 30S ribosomal protein S28E from the archaean Pyrococcus horikoshii, target JR19 of the Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium. The structure, determined rapidly with the aid of automated backbone resonance assignment (AutoAssign) and automated structure determination (AutoStructure) software, is characterized by a four-strande...

Domain structure of Lassa virus L protein.

The 200-kDa L protein of arenaviruses plays a central role in viral genome replication and transcription. This study aimed at providing evidence for the domain structure of L protein by combining bioinformatics with a stepwise mutagenesis approach using the Lassa virus minireplicon system. Potential interdomain linkers were predicted using various algorithms. The prediction was challenged by in...

Domain structure of the glucocorticoid receptor protein.

The purified rat liver glucocorticoid receptor protein was analyzed by limited proteolysis and amino acid sequence determination. The NH2 terminus appears to be blocked. The steroid-binding domain, defined by a unique tryptic cleavage site, corresponds to the COOH-terminal part of the protein with the domain border in the region of residue 518. The DNA-binding domain, defined by a region with c...
