In this study we describe the isolation of three genes of the CYP11B family of the guinea pig. CYP11B1 codes for the previously described 11b-hydroxylase [Bulow, H.E., Mobius, ¨ ¨ K., Bahr, V. & Bernhardt, R. (1996) Biochem. Biophys. Res. ¨ Commun. 221, 304–312] while CYP11B2 represents the aldosterone synthase gene. As no expression for CYP11B3 was detected this gene might represent a pseudogene.

The siglecs (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins) are a distinct subset of the Ig superfamily with adhesion-molecule-like structure. We describe here a novel member of the siglec protein family that shares a similar structure including five Ig-like domains, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail containing two ITIM-signaling motifs. Siglec10 was identified through database mining of an asthmatic eosinophil EST library. Using the Stanford G3 radiation hybrid panel we were able to localize the genomic sequence of siglec-10 within the cluster of genes on chromosome 19q13.

We report the biochemical characterization of calhepatin, a calcium-binding protein of the S100 family, isolated from lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) liver. The primary structure, determined by Edman degradation and MS/MS, shows that the sequence identities with the other members of the family are lower than those between S100 proteins from different species. Calhepatin is composed of 75 residues and has a molecular mass of 8670 Da. It is smaller than calbindin D9k (78 residues), the smallest S100 described so far....

Thefushi tarazu factor 1 (FTZ-F1) nuclear receptor sub-family comprises orphan receptors with crucial roles in development and sexual differentiation in vertebrates and invertebrates. We describe the structure and functional properties of an FTZ-F1 from the platyhelminth parasite of humans,Schistosoma mansoni, the first receptor from this family tobe characterized inaLophotrochozoan. It contains awell conservedDNA-binding domain (55–63%identity to other family members) and a poorly conserved ligand-binding domain (20% identity to that of zebrafish FF1a)....

The folding of a 93-residue protein, the histidine-phospho-carrier protein ofStreptomyces coelicolor,HPr,hasbeen studied using several biophysical techniques, namely fluo-rescence, 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfate binding, circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gel filtration chromatography and differential scanning calori-metry. The chemical-denaturation behaviour of HPr, fol-lowed by fluorescence, CD and gel filtration, at pH 7.5 and 25
C, is described as a two-state process, which does not involve the accumulation of thermodynamically stable intermediates.

Much of the basic biochemistry of antiplasmin was described more than 20 years ago and yet it remains an enigmatic member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) family. It possesses all of the characteristics of other inhibitory serpins but in addition it has unique N- and C-terminal exten-sions which significantly modify its activities. The N-terminus serves as a substrate for Factor XIIIa leading to crosslinking and incorporation of antiplasmin into a clot as it is formed.

Numerous adhesion molecules have been described, and the molecular mechanisms of lymphocyte trafficking across the endothelium is starting to be elucidated. Identification of the molecules involved in the organoselec-tivity of this process would help in the targeting of drug therapy to specific tissues. Adhesion-regulating molecule-1 (ARM-1) is an adhesion-regulating molecule previously identified on T cells. It does not belong to any known families of adhesion molecules.

This work presents a computational analysis of the molecular characteris-tics shared by the adenylation domains from traditional nonribosomal pep-tide synthetases (NRPSs) and the group of the freestanding homologous enzymes: a-aminoadipate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, a-aminoadipate reductase and the protein Ebony. The results of systematic sequence com-parisons allow us to conclude that a specificity-conferring code, similar to that described for the NRPSs, can be recognized in such enzymes.

The cloning of two novel genes that encode cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) in barley is described in this work. Transformation of both genes intoArabidopsisand tobacco showed that at least one of the genes codes for a functional enzyme, as its expression caused a cytokinin-deficient phenotype in the heterologous host plants. Addi-tional cloning of two gene fragments, and anin silicosearch in the public expressed sequence tag clone databases, revealed the presence of at least 13 more members of the CKXgene family in barley and wheat. ...

We describe a strategy for systematic amplification of chitin synthase genes (chs) in the filamentous ascomycetes plant-pathogenBotrytis cinereausing PCR with multiple degen-erate primers designed on specific and conserved sequence motifs. Eight distinctchsgeneswere isolated, namedBcchs I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IV, V, VIandVII. They probably constitute the entire chsmultigenic family of this fungus, as revealed by careful analysis of six euascomycetes genomes.

Genomic sequencing of the methanotrophic bacterium,Methylococcus cap-sulatus (Bath), revealed an open reading frame (MCA2590) immediately upstream of the previously described mopEgene (MCA2589). Sequence analyses of the deduced amino acid sequence demonstrated that the MCA2590-encoded protein shared significant, but restricted, sequence simi-larity to the bacterial di-heme cytochrome c peroxidase (BCCP) family of proteins.

Recently, cupin type phosphoglucose isomerases have been described as a novel protein family representing a separate lineage in the evolution of phosphoglucose isomerases. The importance of eight active site residues completely conserved within the cPGI family has been assessed by site-directed mutagenesis using the cPGI fromArchaeoglobus fulgidus(AfcPGI) as a model.

Thepcd1mutant of pea lacks heme oxygenase (HO) activity required for the synthesis of the phytochrome chromophore and is consequently severely deficient in all responses mediated by the phytochrome family of plant photoreceptors. Here we describe the isolation of the gene encoding pea heme oxygenase 1 (PsHO1) and confirm the presence of a mutation in this gene in the pcd1 mutant.

The peptides of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) family exert their functions, including regulation of appetite and circadian rhythm, by binding to G-protein coupled receptors. Mammals have five subtypes, named Y1,Y2 , Y4,Y5 and Y6, and recently Y7 has been discovered in fish and amphibi-ans. In chicken we have previously characterized the first four subtypes and here we describe Y6 and Y7.

All eukaryotic topoisomerase I enzymes are monomeric enzymes, whereas the kinetoplastid family (TrypanosomaandLeishmania) possess an unusual bisubunit topoisomerase I. To determine what happens to the enzyme architecture and catalytic property if the two subunits are fused, and to explore the functional relationship between the two subunits, we describe herein vitro gene fusion of Leishmaniabisubunit topoisomerase I into a single ORF encoding a new monomeric topoisomerase I (LdTOPIL-fus-S).
