DNA Research
New DNA research study findings have been reported from University of Tokyo
June 15th, 2009
"Plastid envelope DNA-binding protein (PEND) is a DNA-binding protein with a chloroplast basic region-zipper domain at its N-terminus and a transmembrane domain at its C-terminus. The localization of PEND to the inner envelope membrane was demonstrated in a targeting experiment using isolated membranes and green. uorescent protein-tagged fusion proteins," scientists in Komaba, Japan report. "An N-terminal sequence analysis showed that the presequence is 15 amino acids long; however, based on neural network-based prediction tools, this short peptide is not predicted to be a chloroplast-targeting sequence. In the present study we confirmed, by the digestion of intact...
