Studies on the Essential Intramolecular Interaction Between the A1 and A2 Domains of von Willebrand Factor
(2013)
Haemostasis depends on the balanced participation of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a large multimeric and multidomain glycoprotein with essential role during the initial steps of blood clotting. Mature vWF circulates in ...
Conjugation with polyamines enhances the antibacterial and anticancer activity of chloramphenicol
(2014)
Chloramphenicol (CAM) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, limited to occasional only use in developed countries because of its potential toxicity. To explore the influence of polyamines on the uptake and activity of CAM into ...
The contribution of the zinc-finger motif to the function of Thermus thermophilus ribosomal protein S14
(2007)
In the crystal structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit from Thermus thermophilus, cysteine 24 of ribosomal protein S14 (TthS14) occupies the first position in a CXXC-X12-CXXC motif that coordinates a zinc ion. The structural ...
Ribosomes containing mutants of L4 ribosomal protein from Thermus thermophilus display multiple defects in ribosomal functions and sensitivity against erythromycin
(2005)
Protein L4 from Thermus thermophilus (TthL4) was heterologously overproduced in Escherichia coli cells. To study the implication of the extended loop of TthL4 in the exit-tunnel and peptidlyltransferase functions, the ...
Critical role of residues defining the ligand binding pocket in hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 alpha
(2004)
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4alpha (HNF-4alpha), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is a crucial regulator of a large number of genes involved in glucose, cholesterol, and fatty acid metabolism. Unlike other members ...
Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein activates neutrophils by its C-terminal region even without dodecamer formation, which is a prerequisite for DNA protection - novel approaches against Helicobacter pylori inflammation
(2008)
Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein (HP-NAP) protects DNA from free radicals as a dodecamer through its ferroxidase activity without, however, directly binding to it. The retardation that was observed at pH ...
On the Intracellular Trafficking of Mouse S5 Ribosomal Protein from Cytoplasm to Nucleoli
(2009)
The non-ribosomal functions of mammalian ribosomal proteins have recently attracted worldwide attention. The mouse ribosomal protein S5 (rpS5) derived from ribosomal material is an assembled non-phosphorylated protein. The ...
On the structural and functional importance of the highly conserved Glu56 of Thermus thermophilus L4 ribosomal protein
(2003)
The structural and functional importance of the highly conserved amino acid residue glutamic acid 56 (Glu56) of the ribosomal protein L4 from Thermus thermophilus (TthL4) has been investigated by replacing this residue by ...
