The equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) trans-activating (Tat) protein is a close homologue of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Tat protein. Both of these proteins bind to an RNA trans-activation responsive element (TAR). We synthesized chemically a protein with the sequence of the 75 amino acid Tat protein from EIAV. The chemically synthesized protein was shown to be biologically active. Circular dichroism (CD) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were used to structurally characterize the synthetic protein. We obtained nearly complete resonance assignments in the 2D-NMR spectra of the protein at pH 3.0. There is at least some evidence from the experimental data that the basic TAR binding domain of the synthetic protein has a tendency to form a helix, but our experiments also indicate that the protein probably does not have an overall stable tertiary structure in aqueous solution at this pH. CD spectroscopy suggested that the protein adopts a more stable, predominantly alpha-helical structure in a trifluoroethanol/water solution.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D002942 Circular Dichroism A change from planar to elliptic polarization when an initially plane-polarized light wave traverses an optically active medium. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Circular Dichroism, Vibrational,Dichroism, Circular,Vibrational Circular Dichroism
D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).

D004860 Infectious Anemia Virus, Equine A species of LENTIVIRUS, subgenus equine lentiviruses (LENTIVIRUSES, EQUINE), causing acute and chronic infection in horses. It is transmitted mechanically by biting flies, mosquitoes, and midges, and iatrogenically through unsterilized equipment. Chronic infection often consists of acute episodes with remissions.

D006859 Hydrogen The first chemical element in the periodic table with atomic symbol H, and atomic number 1. Protium (atomic weight 1) is by far the most common hydrogen isotope. Hydrogen also exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM (atomic weight 2) and the radioactive isotope TRITIUM (atomic weight 3). Hydrogen forms into a diatomic molecule at room temperature and appears as a highly flammable colorless and odorless gas. Protium,Hydrogen-1
D000595 Amino Acid Sequence The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins.
