G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) constitute by far the largest family of transmembrane cell-surface proteins involved in signal transduction and are the most important targets for the development of novel therapeutic compounds. Many processes mediated by ...
Conformational changes of channel activation: Five enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) mols. (green cylinders) were integrated into the intracellular part of the homopentameric ionotropic 5-HT3 receptor. This allowed the detection of extracellular bi ...
The goal of this work was to produce water-soluble fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals suitable to interact specifically with biomolecules and thereby creating hybrid supramolecular structures composed of nanocrystals and proteins. Hydrophobic TOPO-coat ...
Understanding of the mechanisms governing spindle positioning during asymmetric division remains incomplete. During unequal division of one-cell stage C. elegans embryos, the Galpha proteins GOA-1 and GPA-16 act in a partially redundant manner to generate ...
A review. Recombinant proteins are often expressed with an addnl. polypeptide the role of which is to aid purifn., detection, or functional studies. Recently, the role of these tags has been extended to mediate the labeling of the protein of interest with ...
The in vivo and in vitro labeling of fusion proteins with synthetic mols. capable of probing and controlling protein function has the potential to become an important method in functional genomics and proteomics. We have recently introduced an approach for ...
HypA and HypB are maturation proteins required for incorporation of nickel into the hydrogenase large subunit. To examine the functions of these proteins in nickel insertion, the hybF gene, which is a homolog of hypA essential for maturation of hydrogenase ...
Iron-regulatory proteins (IRPs) 1 and 2 are closely related molecules involved in animal iron metabolism. Both proteins can bind to specific mRNA regions called iron-responsive elements and thereby control the expression of proteins involved in the uptake, ...
Cytoskeletal rearrangement occurs in a variety of cellular processes and involves a wide spectrum of proteins. Among these, the gelsolin superfamily proteins control actin organization by severing filaments, capping filament ends and nucleating actin assem ...
The present invention relates to methods of transferring a label from novel substrates to O-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferases (AGT) and O-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase fusion proteins, and to novel substrates suitable in such methods. Proteins o ...
