The ATRs, ATMs, and TORs are giant HEAT repeat proteins
Article Abstract:
The authors discuss protein sequence analysis. Results demonstrate that this analysis describes non-kinase portions of ATM and Rad3 related, ataxia telangiectasia mutated and target of rapamycin as giant helical repeat domains which d iffer from one another by subtraction, rearrangement and addition of specific huntingtin, elongation factor 3, A subunit of protein phosphatase 2A and TOR1 repeat units.

Deciphering NAD-dependent deacetylases
Article Abstract:
The authors review the publications on the NAD-dependent deacetylases. The topics of interest include a high-resolution structure of the Archaeoglobus fulgidus Sir2-Af1 NAD-dependent protein deacetylase complexed with its cofactor NAD and the mechanism of the NAD-dependent deacetylation.
