Molecular dissection of the domain architecture and catalytic activities of human PrimPol [PDF]
PrimPol is a primase–polymerase involved in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. Although PrimPol is predicted to possess an archaeo-eukaryotic primase and a UL52-like zinc finger domain, the role of these domains has not been ...

β‐Helical catalytic domains in glycoside hydrolase families 49, 55 and 87: domain architecture, modelling and assignment of catalytic residues [PDF]
X‐ray crystallography and bioinformatics studies reveal a tendency for the right‐handed β‐helix domain architecture to be associated with carbohydrate binding proteins. Here we demonstrate the presence of catalytic β‐helix domains in glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 49, 55 and 87 and provide evidence for their sharing a common evolutionary ancestor ...

The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) family [PDF]
The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases that have diverse roles in tissue morphogenesis and patho-physiological remodeling, in ...

A small molecule inhibitor of leucine carboxyl methyltransferase-1 inhibits cancer cell survival
Reversible phosphorylation is the basis for signal transduction in eukaryotic cells, and this is tightly controlled by the complex interplay of kinases and phosphatases.

KA1-targeted regulatory domain mutations activate Chk1 in the absence of DNA damage [PDF]
The Chk1 protein kinase is activated in response to DNA damage through ATR-mediated phosphorylation at multiple serine-glutamine (SQ) residues within the C-terminal regulatory domain, however the molecular mechanism is not understood. Modelling indicates

The TriTryp Phosphatome: analysis of the protein phosphatase catalytic domains [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe genomes of the three parasitic protozoaTrypanosoma cruzi,Trypanosoma bruceiandLeishmania majorare the main subject of this study. These parasites are responsible for devastating human diseases known as Chagas disease, African sleeping sickness and cutaneous Leishmaniasis, respectively, that affect millions of people in the ...

Identification of residues in the heme domain of soluble guanylyl cyclase that are important for basal and stimulated catalytic activity. [PDF]
Nitric oxide signals through activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), a heme-containing heterodimer. NO binds to the heme domain located in the N-terminal part of the β subunit of sGC resulting in increased production of cGMP in the catalytic domain

Importance of the Domain−Domain Interface to the Catalytic Action of the NO Synthase Reductase Domain [PDF]
Calmodulin (CaM) activates NO synthase (NOS) by binding to a 20 amino acid interdomain hinge in the presence of Ca (2+), inducing electrons to be transferred from the FAD to the heme of the enzyme via a mobile FMN domain. The activation process is influenced by a number of structural features, including an autoinhibitory loop, the C-terminal tail of ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
