The role of the zinc finger motif and of the residues at the amino terminus in the function of yeast ribosomal protein YL37a.

Abstract excerpt

YL37a is an essential yeast ribosomal protein that has a C(2)-C(2) zinc finger motif. Replacement of the cysteine residues had yielded variants that lacked the capacity to bind zinc but still supported cell growth. In a continuation of an examination of the relation of the structure of YL37a to its function, the contribution of amino acid residues in the intervening sequence between the internal cysteine residues...
