Are guanine nucleotide binding proteins a distinct class of regulatory proteins? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Proteins which bind guanine nucleotides are found in a diverse set of key regulatory positions. They are involved in hormone action, visual transduction, protein synthesis and microtubule assembly. In addition to their ability to bind guanine nucleotides

Crystal structures of the human elongation factor eEFSec suggest a non-canonical mechanism for selenocysteine incorporation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Specialized translation elongation factors (eEFSec and SelB) promote selenocysteine incorporation into proteins. Here, the authors report the structure of human eEFSec, examine its interactions with guanine nucleotides, and propose a non-canonical ...

Nucleotides: Structure and Properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Nucleotides consist of a nitrogen-containing base, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. Cells contain many types of nucleotides, which play a central role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including metabolic regulation and the ...

Chromatin structure and context-dependent sequence features control prime editing efficiency

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2023
Prime editing (PE) is a highly versatile CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing technique. The current constructs, however, have variable efficiency and may require laborious experimental optimization.

Distributions of Bubble Lifetimes and Bubble Lengths in DNA [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 102, 062114 (2020), 2020
We investigate the distribution of bubble lifetimes and bubble lengths in DNA at physiological temperature, by performing extensive molecular dynamics simulations with the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois (PBD) model, as well as an extended version (ePBD) having a sequence-dependent stacking interaction, emphasizing the effect of the sequences' guanine-cytosine (

SARS-CoV-2 Nsp14 mediates the effects of viral infection on the host cell transcriptome

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Viral infection involves complex set of events orchestrated by multiple viral proteins. To identify functions of SARS-CoV-2 proteins, we performed transcriptomic analyses of cells expressing individual viral proteins.

Inhibition of Subsets of G Protein-coupled Receptors by Empty Mutants of G Protein α Subunits in Go, G11, and G16 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We previously reported that the xanthine nucleotide binding Goα mutant, GoαX, inhibited the activation of Gi-coupled receptors. We constructed similar mutations in G11α and G16α and characterized their nucleotide binding and receptor interaction.

Trapp Stimulates Guanine Nucleotide Exchange on Ypt1p [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2000
TRAPP, a novel complex that resides on early Golgi, mediates the targeting of ER-to-Golgi vesicles to the Golgi apparatus. Previous studies have shown that YPT1, which encodes the small GTP-binding protein that regulates membrane traffic at this stage of the secretory pathway, interacts genetically with BET3 and BET5.

Dampening of neurotransmitter action: molecular similarity within the melatonin structure

open access: yesEndocrine Regulations, 2018
Objectives. Melatonin initiates physiologic and therapeutic responses in various tissues through binding to poorly defined MT receptors regulated by G-proteins and purine nucleotides.

Mechanisms for DNA Charge Transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
DNA charge transport (CT) chemistry has received considerable attention by scientific researchers over the past 15 years since our first provocative publication on long range CT in a DNA assembly.1,2 This interest, shared by physicists, chemists and ...
