Messenger-RNA-directed protein synthesis is accomplished by the ribosome. In eubacteria, this complex process is initiated by a specialized transfer RNA charged with formylmethionine (tRNA(fMet)). The amino-terminal formylated methionine of all bacterial nascent polypeptides blocks the reactive amino group to prevent

N-carbamoyl-L-cysteine amidohydrolase (NCC amidohydrolase) was purified and characterized from the crude extract of Escherichia coli in which the gene for NCC amidohydrolase of Pseudomonas sp. strain ON-4a was expressed. The enzyme was purified 58-fold to homogeneity with a yield of

The large ribosomal subunit catalyzes peptide bond formation during protein synthesis. Its peptidyl transferase activity has often been studied using a 'fragment assay' that depends on high concentrations of methanol or ethanol. Here we describe a version of this assay

To determine whether synthetic peptides containing an amino terminal formyl-methionine residue and corresponding to the sequence of several proteins produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, would elicit an immune response in mice. Peptides corresponding to the amino termini of 8 M. tuberculosis

Similar to bacteria, synthesis of mitochondrial DNA-encoded proteins requires an N-formylated methionine to initiate translation. Thus, the N-formylated methionine peptides originating from mitochondria should be recognized as danger signals. To date, only one such peptide, denoted as mitocryptide-2 (MCT-2), originating
