ABSTRACT

 

Zaman A., Characterization of Coilin protein nucleotide binding region in Homo sapiens, Onl J Bioinform, 13(2):314-330, 2012. Coilin proteins are an integral part of Cajal bodies, subnuclear structures responsible for biogenesis of telomerase and ribonucleoprotein. In silico nucleotide binding region of Coilin is described. The region showed a long trench-like groove suggesting presence of a long nucleotide sequence as ligand. Sequence variation in the region may account for variation in embryogenesis across a diverse array of species. Variation may have occurred over the course of evolution as the sequence might be responsible for binding the nucleotide sequence non-specifically. The stretch of positive charges found in the region may be significant.

 

Keywords: Coilin protein, Cajal body, Ribonucleoprotein, Dot matrix plot, Xenopus laevis, Molecular docking.
