to delineate regions of the eukaryotic Dim1 critical to its function, KsgA/Dim1 chimeras are created and tested. Construction of six chimeras that result from swapping the two domains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dim1, Escherichia coli KsgA, and Methanocaldococcus jannaschii Dim1. Of the chimeras, only one constructed with the N-terminal domain from eukaryotic Dim1 and the C-terminal domain from archaeal Dim1 is able to complement for the eukaryotic Dim1, suggesting that eukaryotic-specific Dim1 function resides in the N-terminal domain, where few structural differences are observed between members of the KsgA/Dim1 family |
