Structure of small protein B: the protein component of the tmRNA-SmpB system for ribosome rescue

The EMBO Journal
Gang DongDavid W Hoffman

Abstract

Small protein B (SmpB) is an essential component of the highly conserved tmRNA-SmpB system that has the dual function of releasing stalled ribosomes from damaged messenger RNAs and targeting incompletely synthesized protein fragments for degradation. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of SmpB from Aquifex aeolicus revealed an antiparallel beta-barrel structure, with three helices packed outside the core of the barrel. While the overall structure of SmpB appears to be unique, the structure does contain an embedded oligonucleotide binding fold; in this respect SmpB has similarity to several other RNA-binding proteins that are known to be associated with translation, including IF1, ribosomal protein S17 and the N-terminal domain of aspartyl tRNA synthetase. Conserved amino acids on the protein surface that are most likely to directly interact with the tmRNA were identified. The presence of widely separated clusters of conserved amino acids suggests that SmpB could function either by stabilizing two distal regions of the tmRNA, or by facilitating an interaction between the tmRNA and another component of the translational apparatus.

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.
