Role of a small RNA pol II subunit in TATA to transcription start site spacing
1994
Nucleic Acids Research
A point mutation in the shi gene, changing a cysteine residue in a putative zinc ribbon motif into a phenylalanine residue, was demonstrated to permit the observed usage of upstream initiation sites. ...
The yeast shi mutation affects the spacing between the TATA promoter element and transcription initiation sites; for the H2B and ADH1 genes, a series of start sites located -50 -80 bp downstream of TATA ...

How are model protein structures distributed in sequence space?
1997
Biophysical Journal
In analogy to protein families, nets are dense and well separated in sequence space. ...
These graphs in sequence space are connected by point mutations and centered around prototype sequences, which tolerate the largest number (up to 55%) of neutral mutations. ...
Applied to biopolymers, this implies that residues that are essential for function will be conserved, and others replaced in evolutionary diverse sequences. ...

RNA regulators responding to ribosomal protein S15 are frequent in sequence space

Rapid evolution in conformational space: A study of loop regions in a ubiquitous GTP binding domain
2004
Protein Science
We propose a model under which the diversity of protein topologies observed in these loops can be the product of a stochastic sampling of sequence and conformational space in a near-neutral fashion, while ...
We demonstrate that these regions are self-contained and thus mostly free of the evolutionary constraints imposed by the conserved core of the domain. ...
