A short 5' region of the long terminal repeat is required for regulation by hormone and heat shock of Drosophila retrotransposon 1731.

Abstract:

:1731, a Drosophila retrotransposon was first described as having a transcription activity which was negatively regulated by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-OH), the steroid molting hormone of insects. Using constructions expressing the bacterial chloramphenicol-acetyltransferase (CAT) gene under the control of the entire or deleted Long Terminal Repeats (LTRs) of 1731, we were able to show that a short (28 bp) sequence located in the U3 region of these LTRs was required for 1) the increase in promoter strength, 2) negative regulation by 20-OH and, 3) positive regulation by heat shock.

  • On the binding of aminoalkyl adenylates to isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli MRE 600.

    abstract::The binding of nine aminoalkyl adenylates to isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli MRE 600 was measured and compared with the binding of the cognate amino acids. It was found that they bind rather tightly to the enzyme, the Kd's ranging from 3.1.10(-4) M with glycinol-AMP ester to 3.7.10(-9) M with L-isoleuc...
