Identification of novel components of Trypanosoma brucei editosomes [PDF]
The editosome is a multiprotein complex that catalyzes the insertion and deletion of uridylates that occurs during RNA editing in trypanosomatids. We report the identification of nine novel editosome proteins in Trypanosoma brucei.

Stage-specific expressions of four different ribonuclease H genes in Leishmania [PDF]
The human pathogen of the genus Leishmania cause worldwide morbidity and infection of visceral organs by some species may be lethal. Lack of rational chemotherapy against these pathogens dictates the study of differential biochemistry and molecular ...

On the Stabilizing Action of Protein Denaturants: Acetonitrile Effect on Stability of Lysozyme in Aqueous Solutions [PDF]
Stability of hen lysozyme in the presence of acetonitrile (MeCN) at different pH values of the medium was studied by scanning microcalorimetry with a special emphasis on determination of reliable values of the denaturational heat capacity change.

ConSole: using modularity of contact maps to locate solenoid domains in protein structures. [PDF]
BackgroundPeriodic proteins, characterized by the presence of multiple repeats of short motifs, form an interesting and seldom-studied group. Due to often extreme divergence in sequence, detection and analysis of such motifs is performed more reliably on

The hepatitis B virus ribonuclease H as a drug target [PDF]
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of hepatitis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. An outstanding vaccine is available; however, the number of infections remains high. Current anti-HBV treatments with interferon α and nucleos(t)ide analogs clear the infection in only a small minority of patients, and either induce ...

Protein disulfide-isomerase interacts with a substrate protein at all stages along its folding pathway [PDF]
In contrast to molecular chaperones that couple protein folding to ATP hydrolysis, protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI) catalyzes protein folding coupled to formation of disulfide bonds (oxidative folding).

Yeast ribonuclease H(70) cleaves RNA‐DNA junctions [PDF]
A specific substrate, M 13 DNA:RNA‐[32P]DNA, was synthesized to investigate the mode of cleavage of enzymes with RNase H activity. RNase H(70) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bond at the RNA‐DNA junction of this substrate, thereby producing a 5'‐monophosphate‐terminated polydeoxyribonucleotide and 3'‐hydroxyl‐terminated ...

HIV-1 Ribonuclease H: Structure, Catalytic Mechanism and Inhibitors [PDF]
Since the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was discovered as the etiological agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), it has encouraged much research into antiviral compounds. The reverse transcriptase (RT) of HIV has been a main target for antiviral drugs.
