Abstract excerpt
MazFbs is an mRNA interferase from Bacillus subtilis specifically recognizing UACAU. The X-ray structure of its complex with an RNA substrate has been also solved. When its amino acid sequence is compared with that of MazFhw, an mRNA interferase from a highly halophilic archaeon, recognizing UUACUCA, the 9-residue loop-1 region is highly homologous except that the V16V17 sequence in MazFbs is replaced with TK in...
