    White collar-1, a DNA binding transcription factor and a light sensor (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-07-06
    Description: Blue light regulates many physiological processes in fungi, but their photoreceptors are not known. In Neurospora crassa, all light responses depend on the Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain-containing transcription factor white collar-1 (wc-1). By removing the WC-1 light, oxygen, or voltage domain, a specialized PAS domain that binds flavin mononucleotide in plant phototropins, we show that light responses are abolished, including light entrainment of the circadian clock. However, the WC-1-mediated dark activation of frq remains normal in this mutant, and the circadian clock can be entrained by temperature. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the purified Neurospora WC-1-WC-2 protein complex is associated with stoichiometric amounts of the chromophore flavin-adenine dinucleotide. Together, these observations suggest that WC-1 is the blue-light photoreceptor for the circadian clock and other light responses in Neurospora.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉He, Qiyang -- Cheng, Ping -- Yang, Yuhong -- Wang, Lixing -- Gardner, Kevin H -- Liu, Yi -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Aug 2;297(5582):840-3.

    Design of a monomeric 23-residue polypeptide with defined tertiary structure (1996)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1996-01-19
    Description: Small proteins or protein domains generally require disulfide bridges or metal sites for their stabilization. Here it is shown that the beta beta alpha architecture of zinc fingers can be reproduced in a 23-residue polypeptide in the absence of metal ions. The sequence was obtained through an iterative design process. A key feature of the final design is the incorporation of a type II' beta turn to aid in beta-hairpin formation. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis reveals that the alpha helix and beta hairpin are held together by a defined hydrophobic core. The availability of this structural template has implications for the development of functional polypeptides.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Struthers, M D -- Cheng, R P -- Imperiali, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Jan 19;271(5247):342-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8553067" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
