Translocation of the tRNA x mRNA complex through the bacterial ribosome is driven by the multidomain guanosine triphosphatase elongation factor G (EF-G). We have used isothermal titration calorimetry to characterize the binding of GDP and GTP to free EF-G at 4 degrees C, 20 degrees C, and 37 degrees C. The binding affinity of EF-G is higher to GDP than to GTP at 4 degrees C, but lower at 37 degrees C. The binding enthalpy and entropy change little with temperature in the case of GDP binding but change greatly in the case of GTP binding. These observations are compatible with a large decrease in the solvent-accessible hydrophobic surface area of EF-G on GTP, but not GDP, binding. The explanation we propose is the locking of the switch 1 and switch 2 peptide loops in the G domain of EF-G to the gamma-phosphate of GTP. From these data, in conjunction with previously reported structural data on guanine nucleotide-bound EF-G, we suggest that EF-G enters the pretranslocation ribosome as an "activity chimera," with the G domain activated by the presence of GTP but the overall factor conformation in the inactive form typical of a GDP-bound multidomain guanosine triphosphatase. We propose that the active overall conformation of EF-G is attained only in complex with the ribosome in its "ratcheted state," with hybrid tRNA binding sites..
Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) is an oligomeric, processive and cap-interacting 3' exoribonuclease that efficiently degrades mRNA poly(A) tails. Here we show that the RNA recognition motif (RRM) of PARN harbors both poly(A) and cap binding properties, suggesting that the RRM plays an important role for the two critical and unique properties that are tightly associated with PARN activity, i.e. recognition and dependence on both the cap structure and poly(A) tail during poly(A) hydrolysis. We show that PARN and its RRM have micromolar affinity to the cap structure by using fluorescence spectroscopy and nanomolar affinity for poly(A) by using filter binding assay. We have identified one tryptophan residue within the RRM that is essential for cap binding but not required for poly(A) binding, suggesting that the cap- and poly(A)-binding sites associated with the RRM are both structurally and functionally separate from each other. RRM is one of the most commonly occurring RNA-binding domains identified so far, suggesting that other RRMs may have both cap and RNA binding properties just as the RRM of PARN.

Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) is an oligomeric, processive and cap-interacting 3'-5' exoribonuclease that efficiently degrades eukaryotic mRNA poly(A) tails. PARN harbors, in addition to a well characterized RNA-recognition motif (RRM), another putative RNA-binding motif: the R3H-domain. R3H-domains have previously been found in a diverse range of proteins involved in single stranded nucleic acid binding suggesting that the domain is a nucleic acid interacting motif. However, its RNA binding properties has not been experimentally verified. Here, we show that the R3H domain of PARN binds poly(A) and poly(U). Therefore, our study verifies that the R3H domain binds RNA and suggests that the R3H-domain of PARN could play a role in recognizing poly(A).

Our understanding of the accuracy of tRNA selection on the messenger RNA programmed ribosome has recently increased dramatically because of high-resolution crystal structures of the ribosome, cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions of its functional complexes, and fast kinetics experiments. Application of single-molecule spectroscopy with fluorescence resonance energy transfer to studies of tRNA selection by the ribosome has also provided new, albeit controversial, insights. Interestingly, when the fundamental trade-off between rate and accuracy in substrate-selective biosynthetic reactions is taken into account, some aspects of the current models of ribosome function appear strikingly suboptimal in the context of growing bacterial cells..
The accuracy of ribosomal translation is achieved by an initial selection and a proofreading step, mediated by EF-Tu, which forms a ternary complex with aminoacyl(aa)-tRNA. To study the binding modes of different aa-tRNAs, we compared cryo-EM maps of the kirromycin-stalled ribosome bound with ternary complexes containing Phe-tRNA(Phe), Trp-tRNA(Trp), or Leu-tRNA(LeuI). The three maps suggest a common binding manner of cognate aa-tRNAs in their specific binding with both the ribosome and EF-Tu. All three aa-tRNAs have the same 'loaded spring' conformation with a kink and twist between the D-stem and anticodon stem. The three complexes are similarly integrated in an interaction network, extending from the anticodon loop through h44 and protein S12 to the EF-Tu-binding CCA end of aa-tRNA, proposed to signal cognate codon-anticodon interaction to the GTPase centre and tune the accuracy of aa-tRNA selection.The Neoprene Layering Sweater is brand new this season from Foray. It's built from sweater knit backed neoprene for breathability and wind resistance and features under-arm grommet holes to help with body temperature regulation. The funnel neck can be zipped all the way up to create a covered look, or left undone for a shawl effect.In May 2020, a Jerusalem District Court judge heard Amnesty’s petition to lift the unlawful travel ban against Laith Abu Zeyad but accepted the Israeli Security Agency’s unfounded assertion that he is a security risk, effectively rubber stamping the ban. Laith Abu Zeyad was denied a special permit to attend his hearing but was represented by his lawyer, Tamir Blank. The information the authorities provided to the court against him was kept secret and could not be challenged. His lawyer and observers from Amnesty International and diplomatic missions were required to leave the court room when the authorities presented the secret information to the judge.

When I was a new agent, I wanted to succeed so badly. I devoured business and personal development books, dove into blogging and did all the activities a newbie is told to do, such as holding open houses for a plethora of agents, door-knocking, farming and the list goes on. But what I truly needed was a little work-life balance and to take charge of my life pillars.

“Big Brother” is no longer just a television show on CBS where we, the viewers, are playing the peeping Tom. No, Big Brother has crept into the real estate industry, and we are the objects of affection, or is that the objects of suspicion? Do we deserve to be under scrutiny? When you violate trust — yes.
Mar 27Torso from an image of a standing Bodhisattva. The uttarīya, in the narrow mode, visible between the right arm and side, runs under the shoulder loop from the left arm and hangs in distinct drapery below. The folds are dense, and some string-like. Little more than the girdle survives from the paridhāna. The torso has rounded breasts and nipples and the hip juts slightly on the right; the navel is distinct above the soft rounding of the abdomen. The narrow collar appears set with mainly triangular stones and the chain necklace of multiple strands has a large, faceted, cylindrical bead between horned heads at the end of cylindrical terminals. On the right arm is part of an armlet.
Zwalf 1996: The rough working at the back of this figure makes it likely that it was a small cult object, perhaps, judging by the position of the arms so far as they survive, of Maitreya in abhaya and holding a water pot, and with the lesser number of body ornaments sometimes seen on this Bodhisattva (see 1902.0520.2 and 1902.1002.8). The Buddhist cult in Gandhāra involved figures of princely aspect who are taken to be Bodhisattvas, that is, Buddhas-to-be, among whom, however, the only one iconographically distinct to us is the commonly found Maitreya. Although he became prominent in the Mahāyāna with other great Bodhisattvas, Maitreya can be connected with an older scheme of successive Buddhas in which the latest is Śākyamuni, whose successor, Maitreya, in the interim reigns in the Tuṣita heaven. His messianic character has been seen as reinforced by Iranian influences to which Northwestern Buddhism may reasonably have been exposed. His usual attributes are the right hand in abhaya mudra and the pendent water-pot held by the neck in the other. The seated Maitreya may also be in dhyāna with the pot suspended by the neck held between fingers of the superimposed hands. He is also recognised making the preaching gesture, when the water-pot he thus cannot hold appears enshrined and under worship on his base. Maitreya is apparently never turbaned. The Bodhisattvas wear two garments. One, following modern usage, called dhotī, or in Sanskrit paridhāna,
