Charakterizace enzymů modifikujících RNA

Studies on RNA modifying enzymes
Abstract:
Tato práce se zabývá interakcí thymidylát syntázy (TYMS) se svým vlastním transkriptem. Za tímto účelem byl vytvořen nový přístup pro charakterizaci interakce RNA-protein pomocí SPR. Tato interakce vede následně k represi translace a tudíž k snížené tvorbě dTMP. Substrát (dUMP) a kofaktor (5,10-methylentetrahydrofolát) soutěží o tuto vazbu. Tato kompetice hraje roli při chemoterapie, jelikož TYMS je …more
Abstract:
In this thesis, different methods were used to analyse thymidylate synthase binding to its transcript. To this end, a novel approach is described that characterises the RNA-protein interactions with SPR. This interaction is important as it can result in translational repression and a subsequent decrease in the generation of dTMP. The substrate (dUMP) and the cofactor (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate …more
