Molecular basis of Diamond Blackfan anemia: structure and function analysis of RPS19
23 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare congenital disease linked to mutations in the ribosomal protein genes rps19, rps24 and rps17. It belongs to the emerging class of ribosomal disorders. To understand the impact of DBA mutations on RPS19 function, we have solved the crystal structure of RPS19 from Pyrococcus abyssi. The protein forms a five alpha-helix bundle organized around a central amphipathic...
