Evidence that the kinesin light chain domain contains tetratricopeptide repeat units

Abstract

Homology models were built for various length sequences of the kinesin-1 light chain (KLC) domain of Drosophila melanogaster and subjected to 200 ns of all-atom molecular dynamics. We also cloned, expressed and characterized these regions spectroscopically. Results confirm that KLC contains tetratricopeptide repeat units; a regular array of repeating 34-residue helix-loop-helix monomers. Experimental and computational evidence is provided confirming the stability and overall helicity of individual TPR repeats as well as individual TPR units incorporated into a multi-TPR structure.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
