Pleiotropic Ankyrins: Scaffolds for Ion Channels and Transporters
Channels, 2022 The ankyrin proteins (Ankyrin-R, Ankyrin-B, and Ankyrin-G) are a family of scaffolding, or membrane adaptor proteins necessary for the regulation and targeting of several types of ion channels and membrane transporters throughout the body.

Functional dynamics of the folded ankyrin repeats of I kappa B alpha revealed by nuclear magnetic resonance. [PDF]
, 2009 Inhibition of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) is mainly accomplished by IkappaB alpha, which consists of a signal response sequence at the N-terminus, a six-ankyrin repeat domain (ARD) that binds NF-kappaB, and a C-terminal PEST sequence.

ConSole: using modularity of contact maps to locate solenoid domains in protein structures. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundPeriodic proteins, characterized by the presence of multiple repeats of short motifs, form an interesting and seldom-studied group. Due to often extreme divergence in sequence, detection and analysis of such motifs is performed more reliably on

LQT4 Gene: The "Missing" Ankyrin [PDF]
Molecular Interventions, 2003 Mutations in ion channels have been implicated in the formation of long QT syndrome (LQTS). However, Mohler et al. have recently uncovered a role for ankyrin-B, a non-ion channel protein, in type IV LQTS. Calcium signalling is altered, and the functions of several channels and pumps that normally interact with wild-type ankyrin-B are impaired in the ...

Sequence and Structure-Based Analyses of Human Ankyrin Repeats
Molecules, 2022 Ankyrin is one of the most abundant protein repeat families found across all forms of life. It is found in a variety of multi-domain and single domain proteins in humans with diverse number of repeating units.

Functional analysis of BARD1 missense variants in homology-directed repair and damage sensitivity [PDF]
, 2019 The BARD1 protein, which heterodimerizes with BRCA1, is encoded by a known breast cancer susceptibility gene. While several BARD1 variants have been identified as pathogenic, many more missense variants exist that do not occur frequently enough to assign

Spherocytosis-Related L1340P Mutation in Ankyrin Affects Its Interactions with Spectrin
Life, 2023 Previously, we reported a new missense mutation in the ANK1 gene that correlated with the hereditary spherocytosis phenotype. This mutation, resulting in L1340P substitution (HGMD CM149731), likely leads to the changes in the conformation of the ankyrin ...

A novel mechanism of RNase L inhibition: Theiler\u27s virus L* protein prevents 2-5A from binding to RNase L [PDF]
, 2018 The OAS/RNase L pathway is one of the best-characterized effector pathways of the IFN antiviral response. It inhibits the replication of many viruses and ultimately promotes apoptosis of infected cells, contributing to the control of virus spread ...
