Amyloidogenic determinants are usually not buriedSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 1-9 - 2009

Amyloidoses are a group of usually fatal diseases, probably caused by protein misfolding and subsequent aggregation into amyloid fibrillar deposits. The mechanisms involved in amyloid fibril formation are largely unknown and are the subject of current, intensive research. In an attempt to identify possible amyloidogenic regions in proteins for further experimental investigation, we have developed ...... hiện toàn bộ
Structure of the dimeric N-glycosylated form of fungal β-N-acetylhexosaminidase revealed by computer modeling, vibrational spectroscopy, and biochemical studiesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-14 - 2007

Fungal β-N-acetylhexosaminidases catalyze the hydrolysis of chitobiose into its constituent monosaccharides. These enzymes are physiologically important during the life cycle of the fungus for the formation of septa, germ tubes and fruit-bodies. Crystal structures are known for two monomeric bacterial enzymes and the dimeric human lysosomal β-N-acetylhexosaminidase. The fungal β-N-acetylhexosamini...... hiện toàn bộ
DWNN, a novel ubiquitin-like domain, implicates RBBP6 in mRNA processing and ubiquitin-like pathwaysSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2006

Abstract
Background
RBBP6 is a 250 kDa splicing-associated protein that has been identified as an E3 ligase due to the presence of a RING finger domain. In humans and mice it interacts with both p53 and Rb, and plays a role in the induction of apoptosis and regulation of the cell cycle. RBBP6 has...... hiện toàn bộ
Crystal structure of subunit VPS25 of the endosomal trafficking complex ESCRT-IISpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 1-8 - 2004

Down-regulation of plasma membrane receptors via the endocytic pathway involves their monoubiquitylation, transport to endosomal membranes and eventual sorting into multi vesicular bodies (MVB) destined for lysosomal degradation. Successive assemblies of E ndosomal S orting C omplexes R equired for T ransport (ESCRT-I, -II and III) largely mediate sorting of plasma membrane receptors at endosomal ...... hiện toàn bộ
A knowledge-based structure-discriminating function that requires only main-chain atom coordinatesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-15 - 2008
Yoshihide Makino, Nobuya Itoh
The use of knowledge-based potential function is a powerful method for protein structure evaluation. A variety of formulations that evaluate single or multiple structural features of proteins have been developed and studied. The performance of functions is often evaluated by discrimination ability using decoy structures of target proteins. A function that can evaluate coarse-grained structures is ...... hiện toàn bộ
Sequence analysis and structure prediction of type II Pseudomonas sp. USM 4–55 PHA synthase and an insight into its catalytic mechanismSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-14 - 2006

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), are biodegradable polyesters derived from many microorganisms such as the pseudomonads. These polyesters are in great demand especially in the packaging industries, the medical line as well as the paint industries. The enzyme responsible in catalyzing the formation of PHA is PHA synthase. Due to the limited structural information, its functional properties including ca...... hiện toàn bộ
