Abstract
We studied how nucleotides bind to PAN. Although PAN has six identical subunits, it binds ATPs in pairs, and its subunits exhibit three conformational states with high, low, or no affinity for ATP. When PAN binds two ATPγS molecules or two ATPγS plus two ADP molecules, it is maximally active in bi...

Abstract
We report a fluorescence-based assay for measuring the real-time kinetics of single-nucleotide incorporation during transcription elongation. The fluorescent adenine analogue 2-aminopurine was incorporated at various single positions in the template or the nontemplate strand of the promoter-free elo...

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that the T. brucei telomere structure plays an essential role in regulation of surface antigen gene expression, which is critical for T. brucei pathogenesis. However, T. brucei telomere structure has not been extensively studied due to the limitation of methods for anal...

Abstract
We employed the use of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS) in a focused metabolomic study of sugar-nucleotides relevant to the biosynthesis of highly novel carbohydrate modifications on the flagellin of Campylobacter sp. We exploited the unique selectivity of t...

Abstract
We showed that the overexpression of full-length PGK-1 in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC-1) can reduce tumor growth in vivo by downregulation of COX-2 expression. Phosphoglycerate kinase 1 has two functional domains: a catalytic domain (CD); and a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD). To identify the function...

Abstract
We succeeded in the synthesis of triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) that contain a deoxyribonucleotide (Py) bearing a 2-pyridine nucleobase or the 2',4'-BNA congener (Py(B)). By UV melting experiments, it was found that 2-pyridine was a very promising nucleobase for the sequence-selective recog...

Abstract
The strain-promoted "double-click" (SPDC) reaction using Sondheimer diyne, a novel convergent method conjugating three molecules spontaneously, has enabled us to readily modify an azido-biomolecule with a small reporter azido-molecule.

Abstract
An ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (IP-RP-LC-MS) was developed for the determination of nucleotides, nucleosides and their transformation products in Cordyceps. Perfluorinated carboxylic acid, namely pentadecafluorooctanoic acid (PDFOA, 0.25mM), was used as volatil...

Abstract
We describe a standardized approach for searching potent and selective inhibitors of glycosyltransferases by high throughput quantitative MALDI-TOFMS-based screening of focused compound libraries constructed by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the desired azidosugar nucleotides with various alkynes. An...

Abstract
The nucleotide state of actin (ATP, ADP-P(i), or ADP) is known to impact its interactions with other actin molecules upon polymerization as well as with multiple actin binding proteins both in the monomeric and filamentous states of actin. Recently, molecular dynamics simulations predicted that a se...

Abstract
RNA interference pathways can involve amplification of secondary siRNAs by RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. In plants, RDR6-dependent secondary siRNAs arise from transcripts targeted by some microRNAs (miRNAs). Here, Arabidopsis thaliana secondary siRNAs from mRNA as well as trans-acti...

Abstract
We previously confirmed that they conferred GCV resistance to recombinant baculoviruses (Nakano et al., J. Virol. Methods 161:223-230, 2009). Six characterized mutations, including a previously reported one that encodes a GCV-sensitive kinase-activity mutant (Isegawa et al., J. Clin. Virol. 44:15-19...

Abstract
We have recently shown that the nucleotide accessibility in double-stranded DNA molecules strongly depends on sequence context and can be predicted using neighbor information. In this work, we investigate statistics, neighbor-dependence and predictability of nucleotide solvent accessibility for vari...

Abstract
We report that two methyltransferases, RsmB and RsmF, are responsible for all four 5-methylcytidine (m(5)C) modifications in 16S rRNA of Thermus thermophilus. Like Escherichia coli RsmB, T. thermophilus RsmB produces m(5)C967. In contrast to E. coli RsmF, which introduces a single m(5)C1407 modifica...

Abstract
We use an algorithm now commonly used in microbial ecology, UniFrac, to cluster 175 genomes spanning all three domains of life based on the phylogenetic relationships among their complete tRNA pools. We find that the overall pattern of similarities and differences in the tRNA pools recaptures univer...

Abstract
We have established a strategy to produce and purify recombinant farnesylated guanylate-binding protein 1 (hGBP1), a dynamin-related large GTPase. Our system is based on the coexpression of hGBP1 with the two subunits of human farnesyltransferase in Escherichia coli and a chromatographic separation...

Abstract
We have previously shown that the mutagenic potential of DinB is regulated by the DNA damage response protein UmuD(2). In the current study, we employ a pre-steady-state fluorescence approach to gain a mechanistic understanding of DinB regulation by UmuD(2). Our results suggest that DinB, like its m...
