How to change the oligomeric state of a circular protein assembly: switch from 11-subunit to 12-subunit TRAP suggests a general mechanism. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Many critical cellular functions are performed by multisubunit circular protein oligomers whose internal geometry has evolved to meet functional requirements.

Functional demonstrations of starch binding domains present in Ostreococcus tauri starch synthases isoforms [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Starch‑binding domains are key modules present in several enzymes involved in polysaccharide metabolism. These non‑catalytic modules have already been described as essential for starch‑binding and the cata‑ lytic activity of starch synthase ...

Evolution of ribonuclease H genes in prokaryotes to avoid inheritance of redundant genes [PDF]

, 2007
Background A theoretical model of genetic redundancy has proposed that the fates of redundant genes depend on the degree of functional redundancy, and that functionally redundant genes will not be inherited together.

Characterization of an Alkali- and Halide-Resistant Laccase Expressed in E. coli: CotA from Bacillus clausii [PDF]

, 2014
The limitations of fungal laccases at higher pH and salt concentrations have intensified the search for new extremophilic bacterial laccases. We report the cloning, expression, and characterization of the bacterial cotA from Bacillus clausii, a supposed ...

SPOT-Seq-RNA: Predicting protein-RNA complex structure and RNA-binding function by fold recognition and binding affinity prediction [PDF]

, 2014
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play key roles in RNA metabolism and post-transcriptional regulation. Computational methods have been developed separately for prediction of RBPs and RNA-binding residues by machine-learning techniques and prediction of ...

The PDZ domain of the SpoIVB serine peptidase facilitates multiple functions [PDF]

, 2001
During spore formation in Bacillus subtilis, the SpoIVB protein is a critical component of the sigma (K) regulatory checkpoint. SpoIVB has been shown to be a serine peptidase that is synthesized in the spore chamber and which self-cleaves, releasing ...

Phylogenetic identification of bacterial MazF toxin protein motifs among probiotic strains and foodborne pathogens and potential implications of engineered probiotic intervention in food [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are commonly found in bacteria and Archaea, and it is the most common mechanism involved in bacterial programmed cell death or apoptosis. Recently, MazF, the toxin component of the toxin-antitoxin module, has been
