Exploration of Piperidinols as Potential Antitubercular Agents [PDF]
Molecules, 2014 Novel drugs to treat tuberculosis are required and the identification of potential targets is important. Piperidinols have been identified as potential antimycobacterial agents (MIC < 5 μg/mL), which also inhibit mycobacterial arylamine N ...

Tropomyosins, N-terminal acetylation and their impact on yeast cytoskeletal function: A characterisation of novel tropomyosins from N. crassa and the N-terminal acetyltransferase, Nat3p [PDF]
, 2009 PhDWhile the fundamental role of tropomyosins (Tms) in the maintenance of the actin cytoskeleton in yeast is established, details of their exact regulatory functions in lower eukaryotes remains to be deciphered.

Characterisation of Sulfolobus solfataricus Ard1, a promiscuous N-acetyltransferase [PDF]
, 2008 Compaction of DNA into chromatin is an important feature of every living cell. This compaction phenomenon is brought about and maintained by a variety of DNA binding proteins, which have evolved to suit the specific needs of the different cell types ...

Crystal structure of the N-acetyltransferase domain of human N-acetyl-L-glutamate synthase in complex with N-acetyl-L-glutamate provides insights into its catalytic and regulatory mechanisms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) catalyzes the conversion of AcCoA and L-glutamate to CoA and N-acetyl-L-glutamate (NAG), an obligate cofactor for carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI) in the urea cycle.

Yeast MAK3 N-acetyltransferase recognizes the N-terminal four amino acids of the major coat protein (gag) of the L-A double-stranded RNA virus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1993 The MAK3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes an N-acetyltransferase whose acetylation of the N terminus of the L-A double-stranded RNA virus major coat protein (gag) is necessary for viral assembly. We show that the first 4 amino acids of the L-A gag protein sequence, MLRF, are a portable signal for N-terminal acetylation by MAK3. Amino acids 2, 3,

PLoS Pathogens, 2022 We previously found that, among human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) proteins, the interaction of nucleoprotein (N) and phosphoprotein (P) provides the minimal requirement for the formation of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs), which are sites of ...

Amino acid racemization dating: Method development using African ostrich (Struthio camelus) eggshell [PDF]
, 2013 Ostrich eggshell (OES) is ubiquitous in archaeological sites in Africa and is a favoured substrate for amino acid racemisation (AAR) geochronology, yielding consistent results and thought to approximate a closed system with respect to protein diagenesis.

A mutation in amino acid permease AAP6 reduces the amino acid content of the Arabidopsis sieve elements but leaves aphid herbivores unaffected [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the amino acid permease gene AAP6 in regulating phloem amino acid composition and then to determine the effects of this altered diet on aphid performance.
