THE SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF YBCJ FROM E. COLI REVEALS A RECENTLY DISCOVERED ALFAL MOTIF INVOLVED IN RNA-BINDING

Overview

The structure of the recombinant Escherichia coli protein YbcJ, a, representative of a conserved family of bacterial proteins (COG2501), was, determined by nuclear magnetic resonance. The fold of YbcJ identified it, as a member of the larger family of S4-like RNA binding domains. These, domains bind to structured RNA, such as that found in tRNA, rRNA, and a, pseudoknot of mRNA. The structure of YbcJ revealed a highly conserved, patch of basic residues, comprising amino acids K26, K38, R55, K56, and, K59, which likely participate in RNA binding.
