Abstract:
Members of the regulator of complement activation (RCA) protein family perform a vital role in health and disease. In this report we describe our efforts to solve the structures of human membrane cofactor protein (CD46), the vaccinia virus complement control protein, which mimics mammalian RCA proteins, and human complement receptor type 1 (CD35). These examples illustrate that, despite good progress over the last decade, the regulators of complement, as extracellular multiple domain glycoproteins, still pose formidable problems to structural biologists. Many important questions remain unanswe

ABSTRACT Subgroup D adenovirus (Ad) types 8, 19, and 37 (Ad8, -19, and -37, respectively) are causative agents of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and genital tract infections.

To identify and characterize the role of the 50-kDa glycoprotein in Ad37 infection, we partially purified this molecule from solubilized Chang C conjunctival cell membranes by using lentil lectin chromatography and preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Abstract:
Many natural enzymes need the assistance of protein cofactors to catalyze chemical reactions at a physiologically relevant speed and several of the enzymes that make up for the coagulation cascade are no exception in this regard. Notably, activated factors VII, IX and X display relatively poor enzymatic activity towards their respective macromolecular substrates. The reason for their low proteolytic activity originates from a number of structural restrictions. For instance, not all enzymes are capable to efficiently fold their new amino-terminus into the active site pocket, leaving the catalyt

Three glycoprotein antigens (120, 100, and 80 kD) were detected by mono- and/or polyclonal antibodies generated by immunization with highly purified rat liver lysosomal membranes. All of the antigens were judged to be integral membrane proteins based on the binding of Triton X-114. By immunofluorescence on normal rat kidney cells, a mouse monoclonal antibody to the 120-kD antigen co-stained with a polyclonal rabbit antibody that detected the 100- and 80-kD antigens as well as with antibodies to acid phosphatase, indicating that these antigens are preferentially localized in lysosomes.

Abstract Clinical manifestations of arterial and venous thrombosis in a family with protein C deficiency was associated with two mutations in the light chain of protein C: Glu20-->Ala and Val34-->Met. Further studies showed that the mutation Glu20-->Ala which eliminated a gamma- carboxylation site was exclusively responsible for the anticoagulant defect of activated protein C (APC). Membrane-bound human factor Va is inactivated by APC after two sequential cleavages of the heavy chain at Arg506 and Arg306.

Abstract:
Two murine lysosome-associated membrane proteins, LAMP-1 of 105,000-115,000 D and LAMP-2 of 100,000-110,000 D, have been identified by monoclonal antibodies that bind specifically to lysosomal membranes. Both glycoproteins were distinguished as integral membrane components solubilized by detergent solutions but not by various chaotropic agents. The lysosome localization was demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescent staining, co-localization of the antigen to sites of acridine orange uptake, and immunoelectron microscopy. Antibody binding was predominantly located at the limiting lysosomal mem

Abstract:
Tissue factor (TF), an integral membrane glycoprotein, is a cofactor for coagulation factor VIIa (FVIIa) and primary cellular initiator of the coagulation. Upon vascular injury or in disease conditions, blood comes in contact with TF, and the formation of TF-FVIIa complex initiates activation of the coagulation cascade. While TF is critical for the maintenance of hemostasis, aberrant expression of TF activity could lead to thrombotic disorders. Typically, most of TF on cell surfaces exist in a cryptic, coagulant inactive state, and an "activation" step (decryption) is essential for the transfo
