Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical identification of Argonaute 2 as the sole protein required for RNA-induced silencing complex activity

TL;DR: The biochemical purification of RISC activity to homogeneity from Drosophila Schnieder 2 cell extracts is reported and homology between the PIWI domain of Ago-2 and endonuclease V is found and potential active-site amino acid residues within the PI WI domain of Argonaute 2 are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

SelT, SelW, SelH, and Rdx12: genomics and molecular insights into the functions of selenoproteins of a novel thioredoxin-like family.

TL;DR: A new protein family is defined that includes mammalian selenoproteins SelW, SelV, SelT and SelH, bacterial SelW-like proteins and cysteine-containing proteins of unknown function in all three domains of life, and a mechanism for redox regulation of the 14-3-3 family of proteins is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Practical lessons from protein structure prediction

TL;DR: This paper gives an overview of the currently available practical approaches to protein structure prediction capable of generating accurate fold assignment and recent advances in assessment of the prediction quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determinants in nuclease specificity of ape1 and ape2, human homologues of Escherichia coli exonuclease III

TL;DR: It is found that substitutions in the hydrophobic pocket of Ape1 reduce abasic incision potency about fourfold to 450,000-fold, while introduction of an ExoIII-like pocket into Ape2 enhances its AP endonuclease function.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive update of the sequence and structure classification of kinases

TL;DR: Structural annotations of all kinase families are now revealed, including fold descriptions for all globular kinases, making this the first large functional class of proteins with a comprehensive structural annotation.
