Abstract

Ribosomal proteins often carry out extraribosomal functions. The protein S4 from the smaller subunit of Escherichia coli, for instance, regulates self synthesis and acts as a transcription factor. In humans, S4 might be involved in Turner syndrome. Recent studies also associate many ribosomal proteins with malignancy, and cell death and survival. The list of extraribosomal functions of ribosomal proteins thus continues to grow. Enzymatic action of recombinant wheat S4 on fluorogenic peptide substrates Ac-XEXD↓-AFC (N-acetyl-residue-Glu-residue-Asp-7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin) and Z-FR↓-AMC (N-CBZ-Phe-Arg-aminomethylcoumarin) as well as proteins has been examined under a variety of solution conditions. Eukaryotic ribosomal protein S4 is an endoprotease exhibiting all characteristics of cysteine proteases. The K(m) value for the cleavage of Z-FR↓-AMC by a cysteine mutant (C41F) is about 70-fold higher relative to that for the wild-type protein under identical conditions, implying that S4 is indeed a cysteine protease. Interestingly, activity responses of the S4 protein and caspases toward environmental parameters, including pH, temperature, ionic strength, and Mg(2+) and Zn(2+) concentrations, are quite similar. Respective ...Continue Reading

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
