Temperature characterisation of an optically-interrogated Rogowski coil [PDF]
, 2014 An investigation into the performance of an optically-interrogated Rogowski coil over temperatures up to 80 °C is presented. Preliminary thermal tests reveal that the sensor response is temperature-dependent and the measurement errors are increased at ...

Asymmetric Coiled-Coil Structure with Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Activity [PDF]
Structure, 2007 Vesicular traffic during exocytosis is regulated by Rab GTPase, Sec4p in yeast, which is activated by a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) called Sec2p. The GEF activity is localized in the N-terminal 160 residues of Sec2p, which lacks sequence similarity with any other GEFs with known structures, and thereby the guanine nucleotide exchange ...

Cohesin ATPase activities regulate DNA binding and coiled-coil configuration
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2022 The cohesin complex is required for sister chromatid cohesion and genome compaction. Cohesin coiled coils (CCs) can fold at break sites near midpoints to bring head and hinge domains, located at opposite ends of coiled coils, into proximity.

Coiled Coils Direct Assembly of a Cold-Activated TRP Channel [PDF]
Neuron, 2006 Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels mediate numerous sensory transduction processes and are thought to function as tetramers. TRP channel physiology is well studied; however, comparatively little is understood regarding TRP channel assembly. Here, we identify an autonomously folded assembly domain from the cold- and menthol-gated channel TRPM8.

Coiled Coil Region of Streptokinase γ-Domain Is Essential for Plasminogen Activation [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001 The specific functions of the amino acid residues in the streptokinase (SK) gamma-domain were analyzed by studying the interactions of human plasminogen (HPlg) and SK mutants prepared by charge-to-alanine mutagenesis. SK with mutations of groups of amino acids outside the coiled coil region of SK gamma-domain, SK(K278A,K279A,E281A,K282A), and SK(D360A ...

Identification of a region in the coiled-coil domain of Smc3 that is essential for cohesin activity [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2016 The cohesin complex plays an important role in sister chromatin cohesion. Cohesin's core is composed of two structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) proteins, called Smc1 and Smc3. SMC proteins are built from a globular hinge domain, a rod-shaped domain composed of long anti-parallel coiled-coil (CC), and a second globular adenosine triphosphatase ...

Stim1 Cytosolic Coiled-Coil Interactions in the Resting and Activated State [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 STIM1 and Orai1 are key components of the Ca2+-release activated Ca2+ (CRAC) current that plays an important role in T cell activation as well as mast cell degranulation. Activation of the CRAC channel forming subunit Orai1 occurs via a physical interaction with the ER transmembrane Ca2+ sensor protein STIM1 when ER Ca2+ stores are depleted.

The coil–globule transition in self-avoiding active polymers [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2021 We study the coil globule transition of an active fully flexible polymer. We show how the Θ -point changes with the strength of the active forces.

Role of the N-Terminal Activation Domain of the Coiled-Coil Coactivator in Mediating Transcriptional Activation by β-Catenin [PDF]
Molecular Endocrinology, 2006 The coiled-coil coactivator (CoCoA) is involved in transcriptional activation of target genes by nuclear receptors and the xenobiotic aryl hydrocarbon receptor, as well as target genes of the Wnt signaling pathway, which is mediated by the lymphocyte enhancer factor (LEF)/T cell factor transcription factors and the coactivator beta-catenin.
