A knowledge base for predicting protein localization sites in eukaryotic cells

TL;DR: An expert system is reported for predicting localization sites of proteins only from the information on the amino acid sequence and the source origin, which is powerful and flexible enough to be used in genome analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iso- and anteiso-fatty acids in bacteria: biosynthesis, function, and taxonomic significance.

TL;DR: Branched-chain fatty acids of the iso and anteiso series occur in many bacteria as the major acyl constituents of membrane lipids and are an important criterion used to aid identification and classification of bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation, substrates and functions of src.

TL;DR: This review focuses on developments in the last 6-7 years, and cites data resulting from the isolation and characterization of SRC mutants, crystallographic studies of the structures of SH2, SH3 and tyrosine kinase domains, biochemical studies of Src kinase activity and binding properties, and the biology of transgenic and knockout mouse strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two genes encode distinct glutamate decarboxylases.

TL;DR: The brain contains two forms of the GABA synthetic enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), which differ in molecular size, amino acid sequence, antigenicity, cellular and subcellular location, and interaction with the GAD cofactor pyridoxal phosphate.

The Arabidopsis CDPK-SnRK Superfamily of Protein Kinases

TL;DR: Analysis of intron placements supports the hypothesis that CDPKs, CRks, PPCKs and PEPRKs have a common evolutionary origin; however there are no conserved intron positions between these kinases and the SnRK subgroup.
