Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

11.7K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain.  Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Amino acids03:42

Amino acids

93.5K
Amino acids are the monomers that comprise proteins. Each amino acid has the same fundamental structure, which consists of a central carbon atom, or the alpha (α) carbon, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and to a hydrogen atom. Every amino acid also has another atom or group of atoms bonded to the central atom known as the R group. There are 20 common amino acids present in proteins, each with a different R group. Variation in the amino acid sequence is responsible...

Protein Organization01:24

Protein Organization

7.7K
Proteins are polymers of amino acid residues. They are versatile and responsible for different cellular functions, including DNA replication, molecular transport, catalysis, and structural support. Proteins have a hierarchical structure comprising at least three levels of organization: primary, secondary, and tertiary structure. Some large proteins have a quaternary structure where individual protein subunits are linked together.
The primary structure of a protein is its amino acid sequence....

Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

4.5K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

  • Genetics
  • Cellular Biology

Background:

  • DNA replication is a fundamental process for cell division.
  • Histone variants play crucial roles in DNA replication and repair.
  • The histone H3.1 variant's function at replication forks is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of histone H3.1 at replication forks.
  • To determine if histone H3.1 interacts with DNA repair proteins.

Main Methods:

  • Immunoprecipitation assays to identify interacting proteins.
  • Cell-based assays to visualize histone H3.1 deposition and DNA repair foci.

Main Results:

  • Histone H3.1 is specifically deposited at replication forks during S-phase.
  • Histone H3.1 directly interacts with key DNA repair factors.
  • Deposition of histone H3.1 facilitates the recruitment of DNA repair machinery.

Conclusions:

  • Histone H3.1 acts as a scaffold, docking DNA repair machinery to replication forks.
  • This mechanism is critical for maintaining genome integrity during DNA replication.
