Abstract:
The structure of potato (Solanum tuberosum) lectin, which is a hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein, has been investigated by circular dichroism. The spectra of the native lectin, and of the oxidized, reduced and carboxymethylated and deglycosylated derivatives were examined, as was a hydroxyproline-rich glycopeptide and its deglycosylated derivative. It is concluded that the lectin contains about 35% polyproline II conformation, 34% type II beta-turn and 31% irregular conformation. No indications were found for the presence of alpha-helix or beta-sheet conformations. The polyproline II conformati

Abstract:
We identified a functional domain (XlePABP2-TRP) of Xenopus laevis embryonic type II poly(A)-binding protein (XlePABP2). The NMR structure of XlePABP2-TRP revealed that the protein is a homodimer formed by the antiparallel association of β-strands from the single RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain of each subunit. In each subunit of the homodimer, the canonical RNA recognition site is occluded by a polyproline motif. Upon poly(A) binding, XlePABP2-TRP undergoes a dimer-monomer transition that removes the polyproline motif from the RNA recognition site and allows it to be replaced by the adenos

Abstract:
Flory’s random coil model assumes that conformational fluctuations of amino acid residues in unfolded poly(oligo)peptides and proteins are uncorrelated (isolated pair hypothesis, IPH). This implies that conformational energies, entropies and solvation free energies are all additive. Nearly 25 years ago, analyses of coil libraries cast some doubt on this notion, in that they revealed that aromatic, but also β-branched side chains, could change the 3J(HNHCα) coupling of their neighbors. Since then, multiple bioinformatical, computational and experimental studies have revealed that conformational

Predicting the polyproline type II (PPII) helix structure is crucial important in many research areas, such as the protein folding mechanisms, the drug targets, and the protein functions. However, many existing PPII helix prediction algorithms encode the protein sequence information in a single way, which causes the insufficient learning of protein sequence feature information. To improve the protein sequence encoding performance, this paper proposes a BERT-based PPII helix structure prediction algorithm (BERT-PPII), which learns the protein sequence information based on the BERT model.

PPII, recently termed with a more generic name—κ-helix, adopts a left-handed structure with 3-fold rotational symmetry. Lately, a new type of binding mechanism—the helical lock and key model was introduced in SH3-domain complexes, where the interaction is characterized by a sliding helical pattern. However, whether this binding mechanism is unique only to SH3 domains is unreported. Results Here, we show that the helical binding pattern is a universal feature of the κ-helix conformation, prese

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The protein tyrosine kinase c-Src is regulated by two intramolecular interactions. The repressed state is achieved through the interaction of the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain with the phosphorylated C-terminal tail and the association of the SH3 domain with a polyproline type II helix formed by the linker region between SH2 and the kinase domain. hnRNP K, the founding member of the KH domain protein family, is involved in chromatin remodeling, regulation of transcription, and translation of specific mRNAs and is a target in different signal transduction pathways. In particular, it func

ABSTRACT The nef gene products encoded by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus type 1 (SIV-1) increase viral loads in infected hosts and accelerate clinical progression to AIDS. Nef exhibits a spectrum of biological activities, including the ability to downregulate surface expression of CD4 and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens, to alter the state of T-cell activation, and to enhance the infectivity of viral particles. To determine which of these in vitro functions most closely correlates with the pathogenic effects of Nef in vivo,

Abstract:
Activation of the superoxide-producing phagocyte NADPH oxidase, crucial for host defence, requires an SH3 (Src homology 3)-domain-mediated interaction of the regulatory protein p47phox with p22phox, a subunit of the oxidase catalytic core flavocytochrome b558. Although previous analysis of a crystal structure has demonstrated that the tandem SH3 domains of p47phox sandwich a short PRR (proline-rich region) of p22phox (amino acids 151–160), containing a polyproline II helix, it has remained unknown whether this model is indeed functional in activation of the oxidase.

Abstract:
Arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides (RRCPPs) exhibit intrinsic neuroprotective effects on neurons injured by acute ischemic stroke. Conformational properties, interaction, and the ability to penetrate the neural membrane are critical for the neuroprotective effects of RRCCPs. In this study, we applied circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG MD) simulations to investigate the interactions of two RRCPPs, Tat(49–57)-NH2 (arginine-rich motif of Tat HIV-1 protein) and PTD4 (a less basic Ala-scan analog of the Tat peptide), with an artificial neuronal membr

ABSTRACTThe EspF protein is secreted by the type III secretion system of enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagicEscherichia coli(EPEC and EHEC, respectively). EspF sequences differ between EHEC O157:H7, EHEC O26:H11, and EPEC O127:H6 in terms of the number of SH3-binding polyproline-rich repeats and specific residues in these regions, as well as residues in the amino domain involved in cellular localization. EspFO127is important for the inhibition of phagocytosis by EPEC and also limits EPEC translocation through antigen-sampling cells (M cells). EspFO127has been shown to have effects on cellul

Imatinib (Gleevec) is an ATP-competitive Bcr-Abl inhibitor that selectively kills Bcr-Abl+ CML cells. Despite its clinical success, imatinib is less effective in the advanced stages of CML due to the emergence of drug resistance caused by point mutations in the Abl kinase domain.
