1. Computationalmethods for the identification of transcriptional regulationmodules
Recent studies have demonstrated that biological networks display non-random characteristics, among which we highlight the modular architecture. In our thesis, we are interested in the modular organisation of transcriptional regulation networks (TRN), which model the interactions between genes and proteins that control their expression at the transcriptional

2. Identificação e caracterização de uma proteína com motivos zinc finger de Trypanosoma cruzi
Zinc fingers are compact protein domains composed of a α-helix and a β-sheet held together by a zinc ion. Tandem arrays of zinc fingers are commonly used to recognize nucleic acids. Among other activities, they are involved in the processes of replication, transcription, and DNA repair. The nucleocapsid protein of HIV-1 contains a zinc finger motif

3. A novel class of plant proteins containing a homeodomain with a closely linked leucine zipper motif.
The homeobox, a 183 bp DNA sequence element, was originally identified as a region of sequence similarity between many Drosophila homeotic genes. The homeobox codes for a DNA-binding motif known as the homeodomain. Homeobox genes have been found in many animal species, including sea urchins, nematodes, frogs, mice and humans. To isolate homeobox-containing s

4. Relatedness of an RNA-binding motif in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 TAR RNA-binding protein TRBP to human P1/dsI kinase and Drosophila staufen.
TRBP is a human cellular protein that binds the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 TAR RNA. Here, we show that the intact presence of amino acids 247 to 267 in TRBP correlates with its ability to bind RNA. This region contains a lysine- and arginine-rich motif, KKLAKRNAAAKMLLRVHTVPLDAR. A 24-amino-acid synthetic peptide (TR1) of this sequence bound TAR RNA

5. Definition of the HLA-A29 peptide ligand motif allows prediction of potential T-cell epitopes from the retinal soluble antigen, a candidate autoantigen in birdshot retinopathy.
The peptide-binding motif of HLA-A29, the predisposing allele for birdshot retinopathy, was determined after acid-elution of endogenous peptides from purified HLA-A29 molecules. Individual and pooled HPLC fractions were sequenced by Edman degradation. Major anchor residues could be defined as glutamate at the second position of the peptide and as tyrosine at

6. ArchDB: automated protein loop classification as a tool for structural genomics
The annotation of protein function has become a crucial problem with the advent of sequence and structural genomics initiatives. A large body of evidence suggests that protein structural information is frequently encoded in local sequences, and that folds are mainly made up of a number of simple local units of super-secondary structural motifs, consisting of

7. Promoter and enhancer elements containing a conserved sequence motif are recognized by nuclear factor III, a protein stimulating adenovirus DNA replication.
Nuclear factor III (NFIII) is a protein from HeLa cells that stimulates the initiation of adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) DNA replication by binding to a specific nucleotide sequence in the origin, adjacent to the nuclear factor I recognition site. DNA sequences sharing a high degree of homology to the NFIII binding site in Ad2 were found in a number of transcriptio

8. Activator of G protein signaling 3 is a guanine dissociation inhibitor for Gαi subunits
Activator of G protein signaling 3 (AGS3) is a newly identified protein shown to act at the level of the G protein itself. AGS3 belongs to the GoLoco family of proteins, sharing the 19-aa GoLoco motif that is a Gαi/o binding motif. AGS3 interacts only with members of the Gαi/o subfamily. By surface plasmon resonance, we found that AGS3 binds exclusive

9. Structure and mechanism of the RNA triphosphatase component of mammalian mRNA capping enzyme
The 5′ capping of mammalian pre-mRNAs is initiated by RNA triphosphatase, a member of the cysteine phosphatase superfamily. Here we report the 1.65 Å crystal structure of mouse RNA triphosphatase, which reveals a deep, positively charged active site pocket that can fit a 5′ triphosphate end. Structural, biochemical and mutational results show that desp

10. Homozygosity for the HLA-DRB1 allele selects for extraarticular manifestations in rheumatoid arthritis.
Seropositive rheumatoid arthritis is genetically linked to a group of HLA-DRB1 alleles sharing a sequence motif within the third hypervariable region. Controversy exists over the role of the distinct allelic variants in affecting not only the risk to develop disease, but also in modifying the expression of the disease. We have stratified 81 patients accordin

11. A novel DNA binding protein with homology to Myb oncoproteins containing only one repeat can function as a transcriptional activator.
A cDNA clone encoding a novel Myb-related protein, designated MybSt1, was isolated from a potato cDNA expression library by South Western screening using the CaMV 35S promoter domain A as a probe. Sequence comparison shows a small region with some homology to the highly conserved DNA binding domain of the c-myb proto-oncogene consisting of three imperfect re

12. Determinants of coactivator LXXLL motif specificity in nuclear receptor transcriptional activation
Ligand-dependent activation of gene transcription by nuclear receptors is dependent on the recruitment of coactivators, including a family of related NCoA/SRC factors, via a region containing three helical domains sharing an LXXLL core consensus sequence, referred to as LXDs. In this manuscript, we report receptor-specific differential utilization of LXXLL-c
