Receptor sites involved in posttranslational transport of apocytochrome c into mitochondria [PDF]
Assembly of cytochrome c involves a series of steps: synthesis of apocytochrome c on free ribosomes, specific binding of apocytochrome c to the mitochondrial surface, transfer across the outer membrane, covalent addition of protoheme, refolding of the ...

Evolutionary conservation of influenza A PB2 sequences reveals potential target sites for small molecule inhibitors. [PDF]
The influenza A basic polymerase protein 2 (PB2) functions as part of a heterotrimer to replicate the viral RNA genome. To investigate novel PB2 antiviral target sites, this work identified evolutionary conserved regions across the PB2 protein sequence ...

Concerted Formation of Macromolecular \u3cem\u3eSuppressor-mutator\u3c/em\u3e Transposition Complexes [PDF]
Transposition of the maize Suppressor-mutator (Spm) transposon requires two element-encoded proteins, TnpA and TnpD. Although there are multiple TnpA binding sites near each element end, binding of TnpA to DNA is not cooperative, and the binding affinity

Nickel binding sites in histone proteins [PDF]
Nickel compounds are well known as human carcinogens, though the molecular events that are responsible for this are not well understood. It has been proposed that a crucial element in the mechanism of carcinogenesis is the binding of Ni(II) ions within

c-Myb Binding Sites in Haematopoietic Chromatin Landscapes. [PDF]
Strict control of tissue-specific gene expression plays a pivotal role during lineage commitment. The transcription factor c-Myb has an essential role in adult haematopoiesis and functions as an oncogene when rearranged in human cancers.

Nonlinearity arising from noncooperative transcription factor binding enhances negative feedback and promotes genetic oscillations [PDF]
We study the effects of multiple binding sites in the promoter of a genetic oscillator. We evaluate the regulatory function of a promoter with multiple binding sites in the absence of cooperative binding, and consider different hypotheses for how the ...

Plant Hormone Binding Sites [PDF]
Receptors for plant hormones are becoming identified with increasing rapidity, although a frustrating number remain unknown. There have also been many more hormone-binding proteins described than receptors. This Botanical Briefing summarizes what has been discovered about hormone binding sites, their discovery and descriptions, and will not dwell on ...
