Characterization of G25K, a GTP-binding protein containing a novel putative nucleotide binding domain

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications

Abstract

Amino acid sequences were obtained for four peptides (p1, -2, -3 and 4) generated by chemical or proteolytic cleavage of a 25 kDa GTP-binding protein purified from human placental and platelet membranes. The peptides shared sequence similarities with those contained in several of the ras-related GTP-binding proteins. Peptide p2, a 12-mer, was homologous with a region of the GTP-binding proteins that contains a structural motif proposed to contribute to the nucleotide binding site. However, whereas nearly all GTP-binding proteins exhibit the residues NKXD as this motif, p2 contains TQID. Antisera (Ap1 and Ap3) raised against synthetic peptides corresponding to p1 and p3 specifically reacted on Western blots with the 25 kDa GTP-binding protein purified from human placenta, human platelet and bovine brain as well as with a 25 kDa polypeptide in various cell lines. These results demonstrate the widespread existence of an abundant 25 kDa GTP-binding protein which contains a putative nucleotide binding domain that is chemically distinct from that described for all GTP-binding proteins of known primary structure.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
