The cooperative function of
arginine residues in the Prototype Foamy Virus Gag C - terminus mediates viral and cellular RNA encapsidation.
While Class I binds via interactions mediated by backbone hydrogen bonds, Class II uses a pair
of arginine residues to establish salt bridges to its ATP ligand.
McsB, a protein involved in this process, turned out to have a unique ability to phosphorylate other proteins
on arginine residues.
However, we also detected a G to A mutation at chr15: 88432938 (one base downstream) affecting the
same arginine residue but changing it to tryptophan (R140W) instead of leucine.
The XLPRA2 mutation is a 2 nucleotide deletion that results in a frameshift that significantly changes the predicted peptide sequence by leading to the replacement of many acidic glutamic acid residues with
basic arginine residues and results in the premature termination of the protein 71 amino acids downstream.
These compounds include some features of the polyethylene - hexamethylene biguanide NB325, as well as the peptide T140 that has five guanide groups on the side chains
of arginine residues.
The properties of heteromeric wild - type and mutant GluRs revealed that the dominance of GluR - B is due to
the arginine residue in the TM2 region.
The simplest structure of glucosepane is a lysine residue linked to
a arginine residue by a degraded form of glucose (which has turned into the imadazolium ring, etc).
HMT family of proteins consist of enzymes that methylate lysine or
arginine residues on histone tails as well as other proteins.
