Replication of the giant RNA genome severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV) and synthesis as many eight subgenomic (sg) mRNAs are mediated by a viral replicase-transcriptase outstanding complexity that includes an essential endoribonuclease activity. Here, we show CoV replicative machinery, unlike other viruses, also uses exoribonuclease (ExoN) activity, which is associated with nonstructural protein (nsp) 14. Bacterially expressed forms SARS-CoV nsp14 were shown to act on...
Abstract CRISPR-Cas systems are bacterial anti-viral systems, and viruses (bacteriophages, phages) can carry anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins to evade that immunity. Acrs also fine-tune the activity of CRISPR-based genome-editing tools. While prevalent in phages capable lying dormant a CRISPR-carrying host, their orthologs have been observed only infrequently virulent phages. Here we identify AcrIIA6, an Acr encoded 33% Streptococcus thermophilus phage genomes. The X-ray structure AcrIIA6 displays...
The recently identified etiological agent of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) belongs to Coronaviridae (CoV), a family viruses replicating by poorly understood mechanism. Here, we report crystal structure at 2.7-Å resolution nsp9, hitherto uncharacterized subunit SARS-CoV replicative polyproteins. We show that nsp9 is single-stranded RNA-binding protein displaying previously unreported, oligosaccharide/oligonucleotide fold-like fold. presence this type has not been detected in...

While most organisms grow at temperatures ranging between 20 and 50 °C, many archaea a few bacteria have been found capable of withstanding close to 100 or beyond, such as <i>Pyrococcus</i> <i>Aquifex</i>. Here we report the results two independent large scale unbiased approaches identify global protein properties correlating with an extreme thermophile lifestyle. First, performed comparative proteome analyses using 30 complete genome sequences from three kingdoms. A difference proportions...
Macro domains constitute a protein module family found associated with specific histones and proteins involved in chromatin metabolism. In addition, small number of animal RNA viruses, such as corona- toroviruses, alphaviruses, hepatitis E virus, encode macro for which, however, structural functional information is extremely limited. Here, we characterized the from Semliki Forest severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The crystal structure SARS-CoV domain was determined at...
Pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs), located in the sensillum lymph of pheromone-responsive antennal hairs, are thought to transport hydrophobic pheromones chemosensory membranes olfactory neurons. It is currently unclear what role PBPs may play recognition and discrimination species-specific pheromones. We have investigated binding properties specificity fromMamestra brassicae (MbraPBP1), Antheraea polyphemus (ApolPBP1), Bombyx mori (BmorPBP), a hexa-mutant MbraPBP1 (Mbra1-M6), mutated at...
