Disease relevance of RPC40

  • However, the A135-AC40 interaction is weak compared with the E. coli alpha-beta interaction, and A135 mutation that abolishes the interaction is phenotypically silent [1].
 

High impact information on RPC40

  • The RPC40 gene is unique in the yeast genome and is required for cell viability [2].
  • Polyclonal antibodies outlined the alpha-like subunit AC40 and subunit AC19 which were found co-localized also in the apical region of the enzyme [3].
  • Four subunits that are common to pol I, II, and III (ABC27, ABC14.5, ABC10alpha, and ABC10beta), two that are common to pol I and III (AC40 and AC19), and one pol III-specific subunit (C11) can associate with defined regions of the two large subunits [4].
  • C53, a pol III-specific subunit, interacted with a 37-kDa polypeptide that copurifies with the enzyme and therefore appears to be a unique pol III subunit (C37) [4].
  • This gene is unique on the yeast genome and was located close to RPC40 and PRE2 on the right arm of chromosome XVI [5].
 

Biological context of RPC40

  • Furthermore, we have shown that rpa42+ complements a temperature-sensitive mutation in RPC40 the gene that encodes AC40 in S. cerevisiae and which is essential for cell growth [6].
  • Although the role of methylation of the wobble nucleotide is not known, the differences in elution properties from RPC-5 columns are consistent with other experimental observations indicating that a change in tRNA conformation accompanies this methylation [7].
 

Anatomical context of RPC40

 

Associations of RPC40 with chemical compounds

  • The human initiator tRNA made in yeast cells can be aminoacylated with methionine, and it was clearly separated from the yeast initiator and elongator methionine tRNAs by RPC-5 column chromatography [9].
  • RPC-5 contains dichlorodifluoroethylene beads coated with a quaternary ammonium compound where the substituents are: R1 = methyl, and R2-4 = C8-10 hydrocarbons [10].
  • The effect of zinc on the chromatographic behavior of four tRNAs was examined on RPC-5 and Aminex A-28 columns [10].
 

Other interactions of RPC40

  • Mutational analysis of the corresponding "alpha motif" indicated that its integrity is essential on AC40 subunit but is not essential on AC19 subunit [11].
  • Interactions between L and RPB3 or AC40 were, however, not detectable [12].
  • We have used gel retardation and DNase protection assays to investigate the trans-acting factors involved in the regulation of yeast RNA polymerase genes RPC160 and RPC40 [13].
  • We also demonstrate that determinants of RNAP assembly are conserved, and that a homologue of beta Asp(1084) in A135, the beta-like subunit of yeast RNAP I, is responsible for interaction with AC40, the largest alpha-like subunit [1].
