International audience. In 1996, a new method, termed the yeast three-hybrid system, dedicated to selection of RNA binding proteins using a hybrid RNA molecule as bait was described. In this minireview, we summarize the results that have been obtained using this method. Indeed, about 20 unknown proteins have been characterized so far. The three-hybrid strategy has also been used as a tool to dissect RNA-protein interactions. The example of such a study on human histone HBP interaction with its target mRNA is described. Problems that can be encountered are addressed in a troubleshooting section. Especially, our results with tRNA binding proteins are discussed.

International audience. In eukaryotes, a crucial step of translation initiation is the binding of the multifactor complex eIF4F to the 5' end of the mRNA, a prerequisite to recruitment of the activated small ribosom...

Mutation and evolution of the magnesium-binding site of a class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases contain one or three Mg(2+) ions in their catalytic sites. In addition to their role in ATP binding, these ions are presumed to play a role in catalysis by increasing the electropositivity of the alpha-p...
