http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/12366829http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"The nuclear DNA of Trypanosoma brucei and other kinetoplastid flagellates contains the unusual base beta-d-glucosyl-hydroxymethyluracil, called J, replacing part of the thymine in repetitive sequences. We have described a 100 kDa protein that specifically binds to J in duplex DNA. We have now disrupted the genes for this J-binding protein (JBP) in T. brucei. The disruption does not affect growth, gene expression or the stability of some repetitive DNA sequences. Unexpectedly, however, the JBP KO trypanosomes contain only about 5% of the wild-type level of J in their DNA. Excess J, randomly introduced into T. brucei DNA by growing the cells in the presence of the J precursor 5-hydroxymethyldeoxyuridine, is lost by simple dilution as the KO trypanosomes multiply, showing that JBP does not protect J against removal. In contrast, cells containing JBP lose excess J only sluggishly. We conclude that JBP is able to activate the thymine modification enzymes to introduce additional J in regions of DNA already containing a basal level of J. We propose that JBP is a novel DNA modification maintenance protein."xsd:string
