Phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases of rat liver: differential effects of thyroid hormone.

abstract：:SHAPE-MaP is unique among RNA structure probing strategies in that it both measures flexibility at single-nucleotide resolution and quantifies the uncertainties in these measurements. We report a straightforward analytical framework that incorporates these uncertainties to allow detection of RNA structural differences...

abstract：:Hemophores from Serratia marcescens (HasA(sm)) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (HasA(p)) bind hemin between two loops, which harbor the axial ligands H32 and Y75. Hemin binding to the Y75 loop triggers closing of the H32 loop and enables binding of H32. Because Yersinia pestis HasA (HasA(yp)) presents a Gln at position 32,...
