Abstract
Since the invention of systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment, many short oligonucleotides (or aptamers) have been reported that can bind to a wide range of target molecules with high affinity and specificity. Previously, we reported an RNA aptamer that shows high affinity to the Runt domain (RD) of the AML1 protein, a transcription factor with roles in haematopoiesis and immune function. From kinetic and thermodynamic studies, it was suggested that the aptamer recognises a large surface area of the RD, using numerous weak interactions. In this study, we identified the secondary structure by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and performed a mutational study to reveal the residue critical for binding to the RD. It was suggested that the large contact area was formed by a DNA-mimicking motif and a multibranched loop, which confers the high affinity and specificity of binding.

Abstract
Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) is an integrin protein that transmits information across the plasma membrane through the so-called ‘inside-out’ and ‘outside-in’ signalling mechanism. To investigate this mechanism, we carried out an NMR analysis of the dynamics of the LFA-1 I-domain, which has enabled us to characterise the motions of this domain on a broad range of timescales. We studied first the internal motions on the nanosecond timescale...

The work by Ahmad et al. (1) presented an NMR-based model for a bacterial DnaJ J domain:DnaK(Hsp70):ADP complex that differs from our crystal structure of a disulfide-linked bovine Hsc70:auxilin J domain complex (2). The work by Ahmad et al. (1) claimed that their model can better account for published mutational data, that their model is in better agreement with a previous NMR...

We demonstrate that two projection experiments, a 15N-HSQC–NOESY–15N-HSQC and a 13C-HSQC–NOESY–15N-HSQC, recorded for a histone domain from yeast, contain enough information to support a structural characterisation of the protein. At the temperature used, 298K, the histone domain exhibits a very high extent of chemical shift degeneracy that is uncharacteristic for a fully...
