Nanospring behaviour of ankyrin repeats [PDF]
Ankyrin repeats are an amino-acid motif believed to function in protein recognition; they are present in tandem copies in diverse proteins in nearly all phyla. Ankyrin repeats contain antiparallel alpha-helices that can stack to form a superhelical spiral. Visual inspection of the extrapolated structure of 24 ankyrin-R repeats indicates the possibility

Ankyrin repeats as a dimerization module
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2018Legionella pneumophila is a pathogen, causing severe pneumonia in humans called Legionnaires' disease. AnkC (LegA12) is a poorly characterized 495-residue effector protein conserved in multiple Legionella species. Here, we report the crystal structure of a C-terminally truncated AnkC (2-384) at 3.2 Å resolution.

Superfamily of ankyrin repeat proteins in tomato
Gene, 2013The ankyrin repeat (ANK) protein family plays a crucial role in plant growth and development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, no detailed information concerning this family is available for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) due to the limited information on whole genome sequences.

Functional role of proteins containing ankyrin repeats
Cell and Tissue Biology, 2008This review describes and discusses new data about the structure and function of proteins which contain ankyrin-like repeats in their structure. These proteins have been found in cells of different organisms but they are not belonging to the cytoskeletal proteins.

Two C-terminal ankyrin repeats form the minimal stable unit of the ankyrin repeat protein p18INK4c
Journal of Molecular Modeling, 2008Ankyrin repeat proteins (ARPs) appear to be abundant in organisms from all phyla, and play critical regulatory roles, mediating specific interactions with target biomolecules and thus ordering the sequence of events in diverse cellular processes. ARPs possess a non-globular scaffold consisting of repeating motifs named ankyrin (ANK) repeats, which ...

Ankyrin Repeat: A Unique Motif Mediating Protein−Protein Interactions†
Ankyrin repeat, one of the most widely existing protein motifs in nature, consists of 30-34 amino acid residues and exclusively functions to mediate protein-protein interactions, some of which are directly involved in the development of human cancer and other diseases.

Development of LRRK2 designed ankyrin-repeat proteins
2023AbstractLeucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a large multidomain protein containing two catalytic domains, a kinase and a GTPase, as well protein interactions domains, including a WD40 domain. The association of increased LRRK2 kinase activity with both the familial and sporadic forms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) has led to intense interest in ...

The ankyrin repeat as molecular architecture for protein recognition [PDF]
AbstractThe ankyrin repeat is one of the most frequently observed amino acid motifs in protein databases. This protein–protein interaction module is involved in a diverse set of cellular functions, and consequently, defects in ankyrin repeat proteins have been found in a number of human diseases.

Novel actions of cardiac ankyrin repeat protein
International Congress Series, 2007Abstract Gene expression profiling of mouse skin wounds has led to the discovery of numerous target genes that may have therapeutic or diagnostic value. Cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (CARP, ankrd1 ) expression is markedly and persistently elevated in cutaneous wounds. This article provides a summary and perspective on CARP with particular reference
