T7 RNA polymerase, covalently modified with 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine, looses the ability of binding the promoter (pGEM-2 plasmid) and poly(dC) template as well as the initiating nucleoside triphosphate (GTP). However the enzyme retains the unspecific binding with DNA fragments of considerable length.

Sso7d from the extreme thermophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus is a multifunctional protein in in vitro assays, whose in vivo role is still puzzling. Crystals of Sso7d in complex with DNA elucidated the protein surface involved in the binding to the nucleic acid, whereas the locations of the Sso7d regions responsible for a chaperone activity in renaturing protein aggregates (i.e.

Most of the kinase inhibitors that are approved for therapeutic uses or that are undergoing clinical trials are directed toward the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding site of protein kinases. 5'-Fluorosulfonylbenzoyl 5'-adenosine (FSBA) is an activitybased probe (ABP) that covalently modifies a conserved lysine present in the nucleotide binding site of most kinases. Here the authors describe synthesis of FSBA derivatives, 2'-biotinyl-FSBA and 3'-biotinyl-FSBA as kinase ABPs, and delineate a Western blot method to screen and validate ATP competitive protein kinase inhibitors using biotinyl-FSBA as a nonselective activity-based probe for protein kinases.

Apyrase/ATP-diphosphohydrolase hydrolyzes di- and triphosphorylated nucleosides in the presence of a bivalent ion with sequential release of orthophosphate. We performed studies of substrate specificity on homogeneous isoapyrases from two potato tuber clonal varieties: Desiree (low ATPase/ADPase ratio) and Pimpernel (high ATPase/ADPase ratio) by measuring the kinetic parameters K(m) and k(cat) on deoxyribonucleotides and fluorescent analogues of ATP and ADP. Both isoapyrases showed a broad specificity towards dATP, dGTP, dTTP, dCTP, thio-dATP, fluorescent nucleotides (MANT-; TNP-; ethene-derivatives of ATP and ADP).

The human placental mitochondria have an ATP-diphosphohydrolase (apyrase) activity. In this paper we characterized the effect of 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine (FSBA) on placental apyrase, and its repercussion on progesterone synthesis and oxygen consumption. Apyrase activity was inhibited by FSBA.
