Abstract:
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have already been considered for medical applications due to their small diameter and ability to penetrate cells and tissues. However, since CNTs are chemically inert and non-dispersible in water, they have to be chemically functionalized or coated with biomolecules to carry payloads or interact with the environment. Proteins, although often only randomly bound to the CNT surface, are preferred because they provide a better biocompatibility and present functional groups for binding additional molecules. A new approach to functionalize CNTs with a closed and precisely or

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of protein AG tagged with colloidal gold as a reliable immunocytochemical reagent. Protein AG is a recombinant of 47.3 KD molecular weight and pI = 4.3, which displays immunoglobulin Fc binding sites for both staphylococcal protein A and streptococcal protein G. It adsorbs to 10-nm colloidal gold particles with a lower affinity than does protein A, and is saturable. A maximal number of 12 protein AG molecules could be accommodated on the gold particle surface. Protein AG-gold conjugates yielded positive signals in post-embedding immunocytochemi

Abstract:
The growth suppressor activities of the RB and p107 products are believed to be mediated by the reversible binding of a heterogeneous family of cellular proteins to a conserved T/E1A pocket domain that is present within both proteins. To study the functional role of these interactions, we examined the properties of cellular retinoblastoma binding protein 2 (RBP2) binding to RB, p107, and the related TATA-binding protein (TBP) product. We observed that although RBP2 bound exclusively to the T/E1A pocket of p107, it could interact with RB through independent T/E1A and non-T/E1A domains and with

CD14 is a 55-kD protein found as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein on the surface of monocytes, macrophages, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and as a soluble protein in the blood. Both forms of CD14 participate in the serum-dependent responses of cells to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). While CD14 has been described as a receptor for complexes of LPS with LPS-binding protein (LBP), there has been no direct evidence showing whether a ternary complex of LPS, LBP, and CD14 is formed, or whether CD14 binds LPS directly.

ABSTRACT Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections represent a major primary cause of human respiratory diseases, exacerbate other respiratory disorders, and are associated with extrapulmonary pathologies. Cytadherence is a critical step in mycoplasma colonization, aided by a network of mycoplasma adhesins and cytadherence accessory proteins which mediate binding to host cell receptors. Furthermore, the respiratory mucosa is enriched with extracellular matrix components, including surfactant proteins, fibronectin, and mucin, which provide additional in vivo targets for mycoplasma parasitism.

The G3BP cDNA revealed that G3BP is a novel 466-amino-acid protein that shares several features with heterogeneous nuclear RNA-binding proteins, including ribonucleoprotein (RNP) motifs RNP1 and RNP2, an RG-rich domain, and acidic sequences.

Western blotting of the CSP-binding proteins identified synaptotagmin I to be a putative binding partner. Furthermore, pull-down assays using cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-phosphorylated CSP recovered significantly less synaptot
