Using mass spectrometric analyses of Saccharomyces evidence suggests it is widespread (11). Motivated by these cerevisiae ribosomes, we found that the amino acid residue in findings, we investigated whether the translation of mRNA to closest proximity to the decoding center, Pro-64 of the 40S subunit protein is affected by oxygen-dependent modifications. A rapidly ribosomal protein Rps23p (RPS23 Pro-62 in humans) undergoes growing eukaryotic cell devotes most of its resources to the tran- posttranslational hydroxylation. We identify RPS23 hydroxylases scription, splicing, and transport of ribosomal proteins and rRNA as a highly conserved eukaryotic subfamily of Fe(II) and 2-oxoglu- (12). We therefore reasoned that ribosomal modification is a tarate dependent oxygenases; their catalytic domain is closely re- candidate mechanism for the regulation of protein expression.

ABSTRACT Extreme and unusual ecosystems such as isolated ancient caves are considered as potential tools for the discovery of novel natural products with biological activities. Acti- nobacteria that inhabit these unusual ecosystems are examined as a promising source for the development of new drugs. In this study we focused on the preliminary estimation of fatty acid composition and antibacterial properties of culturable actinobacteria isolated from water surface of underground lakes located in Badzheyskaya and Okhotnichya caves in Siberia. Here we present isolation of 17 strains of actinobacteria that belong to the Streptomyces, Nocardia and Nocardiopsis genera. Using assays for antibacterial and antifungal activities, we found that a number of strains belonging to the genus Streptomyces isolated from Badzheyskaya cave demonstrated inhibition activity against Submitted 23 May 2018 bacteria and fungi. It was shown that representatives of the genera Nocardia and Accepted 24 September 2018 Nocardiopsis isolated from Okhotnichya cave did not demonstrate any tested antibiotic Published 25 October 2018 properties. However, despite the lack of antimicrobial and fungicidal activity of Corresponding author Nocardia extracts, those strains are specific in terms of their fatty acid spectrum.

  • NS3 Protease from Flavivirus As a Target for Designing Antiviral Inhibitors Against Dengue Virus
    Genetics and Molecular Biology, 33, 2, 214-219 (2010) Copyright © 2010, Sociedade Brasileira de Genética. Printed in Brazil www.sbg.org.br Review Article NS3 protease from flavivirus as a target for designing antiviral inhibitors against dengue virus Satheesh Natarajan Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malayasia. Abstract The development of novel therapeutic agents is essential for combating the increasing number of cases of dengue fever in endemic countries and among a large number of travelers from non-endemic countries. The dengue virus has three structural proteins and seven non-structural (NS) proteins. NS3 is a multifunctional protein with an N-terminal protease domain (NS3pro) that is responsible for proteolytic processing of the viral polyprotein, and a C-terminal region that contains an RNA triphosphatase, RNA helicase and RNA-stimulated NTPase domain that are essential for RNA replication. The serine protease domain of NS3 plays a central role in the replicative cycle of den- gue virus. This review discusses the recent structural and biological studies on the NS2B-NS3 protease-helicase and considers the prospects for the development of small molecules as antiviral drugs to target this fascinating, multifunctional protein.

  • Multi-Locus Sequence Analysis: Taking Prokaryotic Systematics to the Next Level11
    CHAPTER Multi-locus Sequence Analysis: Taking Prokaryotic Systematics to the Next Level11 Xiaoying Rong, Ying Huang1 State Key Laboratory of Microbial Resources, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, P.R. China 1Corresponding author: e-mail address: [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION The study of genetic variation among prokaryotes is fundamental for understanding their evolution, and untangling their ecology and evolutionary theory-based system- atics. Recently, advances in DNA sequencing technology, the exploration of neglected habitats and the discovery of new species and products have forced micro- bial systematists to undertake comprehensive analyses of genetic variation within and between species and determine its impact on evolutionary relationships. 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses have enhanced our understanding of prokaryotic diversity and phylogeny, including that of non-culturable microorganisms (Doolittle, 1999; Head, Saunders, & Pickup, 1998; Mason et al., 2009). However, 16S rRNA gene phy- logenetic analyses have major drawbacks, notably providing insufficient resolution, especially for distinguishing between closely related species. In addition, there are well-documented cases in which individual prokaryotic organisms have been found to contain divergent 16S rRNA genes, thereby suggesting the potential for horizontal exchange of rRNA genes; such problems pose a challenge for reconstructing the evolutionary history of prokaryotic species and complicate efforts to classify them (Acinas, Marcelino, Klepac-Ceraj, & Polz, 2004; Cilia, Lafay, & Christen, 1996; Michon et al., 2010; Pei et al., 2010; Rokas, Williams, King, & Carroll, 2003). Multi-locus sequence analysis/typing (MLSA/MLST) is a nucleotide sequence- based approach for the unambiguous characterization of prokaryotes via the Internet, which directly characterizes DNA sequence variations in a set of housekeeping genes and evaluates relationships between strains based on their unique allelic profiles or sequences (Maiden, 2006).

  • Serine Protease (Chymotrypsin) from Nocardiopsis Prasina Expressed in Bacillus Licheniformis
    SERINE PROTEASE (CHYMOTRYPSIN) FROM NOCARDIOPSIS PRASINA EXPRESSED IN BACILLUS LICHENIFORMIS Chemical and Technical Assessment Prepared by Jannavi R. Srinivasan, Ph.D., Reviewed by Dr. Inge Meyland, Ph. D. 1. Summary This Chemical and Technical Assessment (CTA) summarizes data and information on the serine protease with chymotrypsin specificity from Nocardiopsis prasina expressed in Bacillus Licheniformis enzyme preparation submitted to the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) by Novozymes A/S in a dossier dated November 25, 2011 (Novozymes, 2011)a. In this CTA, the expression ‘serine protease (chymotrypsin)’ is used when referring to the serine protease with chymotrypsin specificity enzyme and its amino acid sequence, whereas the expression ‘serine protease (chymotrypsin) enzyme preparation’ is used when referring to the enzyme preparation. This document also discusses published information relevant to serine protease (chymotrypsin), the B. licheniformis production organism, and the N. prasina organism that is the source for the serine protease (chymotrypsin) gene. Serine protease (chymotrypsin) catalyses the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in a protein, preferably at the carboxyl end of Tyr (Tyr-X), Phe (Phe-X), Trp (Trp-X), when X is not proline. It also catalyses the hydrolysis of peptide bonds at the carboxyl end of other amino acids, primarily Met and Leu, albeit at a slower rate. It is intended for use in the production of hydrolysed animal and vegetable proteins including casein, whey, soy isolate, soy concentrate, wheat gluten and corn gluten. These hydrolysed proteins will be used for various applications as ingredients in food, protein-fortified food, and beverages. The serine protease (chymotrypsin) enzyme preparation is expected to be inactivated during food processing.
