Murine protein which binds preferentially to oligo-C-rich single-stranded nucleic acids.

چکیده
Two single-stranded nucleic acid binding proteins mCBP and mCTBP were identified by means of their binding to a potential recombination hotspot in LTRs of mouse retro-transposons. Both are nuclear proteins of 35 and 55 kDa respectively. mCBP binds preferentially to oligo dC, mCTBP to oligo dCdT. mCBP was purified and its cDNA was isolated and sequenced.

The poly(A) binding protein Hfq protects RNA from RNase E and exoribonucleolytic degradation.
The Hfq protein, which shares sequence and structural homology with the Sm and Lsm proteins, binds to various RNAs, primarily recognizing AU-rich single-stranded regions. In this paper, we study the ability of the Escherichia coli Hfq protein to bind to a polyadenylated fragment of rpsO mRNA. Hfq exhibits a high specificity for a 100-nucleotide RNA harboring 18 3'-terminal A-residues. Structura...
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 کاملA protein which specifically binds to single stranded TTAGGGn repeats.
Nuclei from tissues of many vertebrates contain a soluble 37 kd protein which binds with a high degree of specificity to oligonucleotides which contain the G rich strand of the telomeric terminal repeats, TTAGGG. In some tissues this is an abundant nuclear protein.
متن کاملBinding of Xenopus transcription factor A to 5S RNA and to single stranded DNA.
Footprint competition assays are utilized to study the binding of Xenopus transcription factor A to a variety of single-stranded nucleic acids. The addition of Xenopus oocyte, yeast, or wheat germ 5S RNA as footprint competitors reveals that factor A binds these 5S RNAs with similar affinity. In contrast, factor A does not bind to E.coli 5S RNA or wheat germ tRNA in this assay. Factor A binding...
متن کاملReovirus Protein sNS Binds in Multiple Copies to Single-Stranded RNA and Shares Properties with Single-Stranded DNA Binding Proteins
Reovirus nonstructural protein sNS interacts with reovirus plus-strand RNAs in infected cells, but little is known about the nature of those interactions or their roles in viral replication. In this study, a recombinant form of sNS was analyzed for in vitro binding to nucleic acids using gel mobility shift assays. Multiple units of sNS bound to single-stranded RNA molecules with positive cooper...
