In the absence of a suitable crystal structure, computer methods must predict protein conformation from sequence. The most powerful approaches for structure prediction are based on sequence homology or a more general analogy with known crystal structures. Improvements in these methods will require access to data bases containing the basic motifs of protein architecture... The database will also enable us to extract and store tertiary motifs... These motifs can then be slotted into a model-building study when, for example, predicting the conformation of an homologous protein. 2, record 1, English, - database

Genomic DNA is maintained with high fidelity to guarantee the integrity of genetic information. Damaged DNA must be properly repaired by sophisticated DNA repair systems to sustain cell viability and genomic stability. Homologous recombination is the major pathway for repairing DNA double strand breaks and for re-initiating stalled replication forks in E. coli and eukaryotes. In E. coli, there are several important proteins involved in homologous recombination : RecA protein is essential for pairing homologous DNA, and for promoting the strand exchange process. 2, record 2, English, - recA%20protein

La protéine recA, expression du gène du même nom, joue un rôle essentiel dans le processus de recombinaison homologue, qui permet la réparation de l’ADN chez Escherichia coli. La protéine recA a pour effet de dissocier les deux brins d’un ADN normal pour permettre l’excision d’une séquence destinée à complèter une brèche d’un ADN dont les deux brins sont lésés irréversiblement. Ainsi au cours de la réplication si un des deux ADN produits est anormal et ne contient plus d’information, l’autre ADN, dissocié par recA, détachera un de ses brins pour le recombiner avec l’autre ADN : de sorte qu’il y aura de chaque côté un brin porteur de l’information et que les enzymes de réparation pourront complèter les deux doubles hélices avec la même information. 1, record 2, French, - prot%C3%A9ine%20recA

A very original set of experiments carried out by the Unit of Molecular Biology of Gene Expression concerns another protein essential for mouse development that is also a transcription factor. This factor known as KBF2 or RBP-Jk is homologous to a Drosophila gene product, Su(H)(Suppressor of Hairless), which belongs to the Notch signal transduction cascade involved in regulating the competence of a cell to respond to specific developmental cues. A likely function of the Su(H) protein is to serve as an anchor on DNA for non DNA-binding transcriptional activators. This function is conserved in the Notch pathway : the activation of this transmembrane receptor likely involves a proteolytic cleavage step which releases its intracellular domain; following nuclear translocation, it activates its target genes by binding to the Su(H) protein, which is already bound to several sites in the target promoters. 2, record 7, English, - Su%28H%29%20protein
