Abstract
In Arabidopsis thaliana, micro-RNA regulation is primarily controlled by DCL1, an RNase III enzyme, and its associated proteins. DCL1, together with DRB2, governs a specific group of miRNAs that induce the inhibition of target mRNA translation. DRB2 is a multi-domain protein containing two N-terminal dsRNA binding domains (dsRBD) separated by a linker, followed by an unstructured C-terminal tail. The two dsRBDs in DRB2 are involved in recognizing the miRNA precursor and aiding DCL1 in generating 21-nucleotide-long miRNA. Our study presents a nearly complete backbone chemical shift assignment of both dsRBDs and the side-chain assignment of the first dsRBD in DRB2. The data presented here lays the groundwork for future investigations into the structural, dynamic, and functional aspects of DRB2.
期刊介绍:
Biomolecular NMR Assignments provides a forum for publishing sequence-specific resonance assignments for proteins and nucleic acids as Assignment Notes. Chemical shifts for NMR-active nuclei in macromolecules contain detailed information on molecular conformation and properties.
Publication of resonance assignments in Biomolecular NMR Assignments ensures that these data are deposited into a public database at BioMagResBank (BMRB; http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu/), where they are available to other researchers. Coverage includes proteins and nucleic acids; Assignment Notes are processed for rapid online publication and are published in biannual online editions in June and December.
