When protein engineering confronts the tRNA world.
A long-outstanding goal of protein engineering has run up against the tRNA world, a situation that, in turn, makes the achievement of that goal a formidable challenge. The goal is to expand the genetic code to allow for incorporation of additional, nonnatural, amino acids at predetermined sites in proteins that are synthesized in vivo. Achieving this goal would enable a variety of applications,...
متن کاملtRNA evolution from the proto-tRNA minihelix world
Multiple models have been advanced for the evolution of cloverleaf tRNA. Here, the conserved archaeal tRNA core (75-nt) is posited to have evolved from ligation of three proto-tRNA minihelices (31-nt) and two-symmetrical 9-nt deletions within joined acceptor stems (93 - 18 = 75-nt). The primary evidence for this conclusion is that the 5-nt stem 7-nt anticodon loop and the 5-nt stem 7-nt T loop ...
متن کاملWelcome to the new tRNA world!
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are one of the classical non-coding RNAs, with lengths of approximately 70–100 bases. The secondary structure of tRNAs can be represented as a cloverleaf with four stems, and the three-dimensional structure as an “L” shape. Historically, the basic function of the tRNAs as essential components of translation was established in the 1960s, when it was found that each tRNA is ...
متن کاملFrancisella tularensis Confronts the Complement System
Francisella tularensis has developed a number of effective evasion strategies to counteract host immune defenses, not the least of which is its ability to interact with the complement system to its own advantage. Following exposure of the bacterium to fresh human serum, complement is activated and C3b and iC3b can be found covalently attached to the bacterial surface. However, the lipopolysacch...
متن کاملNeutrino decay confronts the SNO data
We investigate the status of the neutrino decay solution to the solar neutrino problem in the context of the recent results from Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). We present the results of global χ2-analysis for both two and three generation cases with one of the mass states being allowed to decay and include the effect of both decay and mixing. We find that the Large Mixing Angle (LMA) regio...
