Abstract:
The effect of various salts on the binding of human choriogonadotropin to rat luteal membranes has been examined. Increasing salt concentrations had biphasic effects, initially increasing binding, then decreasing it. With NaCl, these effects were on both the affinity and the number of receptor sites. The affinity increased with increasing NaCl concentrations, to a maximum at 40 mM, and then decreased. Above 40 mM NaCl, the number of binding sites increased. NaCl also altered the effects of Mg2+ and guanyl nucleotides. At low ionic strength, Mg2+ was necessary to observe binding. Guanine nucleo

ABSTRACT PyrR is a protein that regulates the expression of genes and operons of pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis (pyr genes) in many bacteria. PyrR acts by binding to specific sequences on pyr mRNA and causing transcriptional attenuation when intracellular levels of uridine nucleotides are elevated.

In this work, we describe the purification to homogeneity and characterization of recombinant PyrR from the thermophile Bacillus caldolyticus and the crystal structures of unliganded PyrR and a PyrR-nucleotide complex.

Abstract:
A recently proposed chemomechanical group transfer theory of rotary biomolecular motors is applied to treat single-molecule controlled rotation experiments. In these experiments, single-molecule fluorescence is used to measure the binding and release rate constants of nucleotides by monitoring the occupancy of binding sites. It is shown how missed events of nucleotide binding and release in these experiments can be corrected using theory, with F1-ATP synthase as an example. The missed events are significant when the reverse rate is very fast. Using the theory the actual rate constants in the c

In this study, we have presented the first report of Escherichia coli DnaC protein binding to ssDNA (single stranded DNA) in an apparent hexameric form. DnaC protein transfers DnaB helicase onto a nascent chromosomal DNA replication fork at oriC, the origin of E. coli DNA replication. In eukaryotes, Cdc6 protein may play a similar role in the DNA helicase loading in the replication fork during replication initiation at the origin. We have analysed the DNA-binding properties of DnaC protein and a quantitative analysis of the nucleotide regulation of DnaC–DNA and DnaC–DnaB interactions using flu

Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq) became a method of choice to locate DNA segments bound by different regulatory proteins. ChIP-Seq produces extremely valuable information to study transcriptional regulation. The wet-lab workflow is often supported by downstream computational analysis including construction of models of nucleotide sequences of transcription factor binding sites in DNA, which can be used to detect binding sites in ChIP-Seq data at a single base pair resolution.

The effects of a whole series of adenine nucleotides on Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release were characterized in permeabilized A7r5 smooth-muscle cells.

It was observed that 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulphate, CoA, di(adenosine-5′)tetraphosphate (Ap4A) and di(adenosine-5′)pentaphosphate (Ap5A) were more effective than ATP. Ap4A and Ap5A also interacted with a lower EC50 than ATP.

Sulfonylureas, which stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, are widely used to treat both type 2 diabetes and neonatal diabetes. These drugs mediate their effects by binding to the sulfonylurea receptor subunit (SUR) of the ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel and inducing channel closure. The mechanism of channel inhibition is unusually complex. First, sulfonylureas act as partial antagonists of channel activity, and second, their effect is modulated by MgADP. We analyzed the molecular basis of the interactions between the sulfonylurea gliclazide and Mg-nucleotides on β-cell and card

Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of nucleotide import into the capsid remains unknown.
