Fungal AreA is a key nitrogen metabolism transcription factor in nitrogen metabolism repression (NMR). Studies have shown that there are different ways to regulate AreA activity in yeast and filamentous ascomycetes, but in Basidiomycota, how AreA is regulated is unknown. Here, a gene from Ganoderma lucidum with similarity to nmrA of filamentous ascomycetes was identified. The NmrA interacted with the C-terminal of AreA according to yeast two-hybrid assay. In order to determine the effect of NmrA...

Abstract
Determination of structure of RNA via NMR is complicated in large part by the lack of a precise parameterization linking the observed chemical shifts to the underlying geometric parameters. In contrast to proteins, where numerous high-resolution crystal structures serve as...

Abstract
NMR structures of ?-subunits, which are recently discovered ?-proteobacterial F1F0-ATPase regulatory proteins representing a Pfam protein family of 246 sequences from 219 species (PF07345), exhibit a four-helix bundle, which is different from all other known F1F0-ATPase inhibitors. Chemical shift...

Modular protein-RNA interactions regulating mRNA metabolism: a role for NMR.
Eur Biophys J. 2011 Apr 7;
Authors: Cukier CD, Ramos A
Here we review the role played by transient interactions between multi-functional proteins and their RNA targets in the regulation of mRNA metabolism, and we describe the important function of NMR spectroscopy in the study of these systems. We place emphasis on a general approach for the study of different features of modular multi-domain...
