Site-Directed Mutagenesis and Site-Specific Binding Analysis of Calmodulin (CaM) [PDF]
Calcium signaling is a major regulatory system in cells and a crucial part of cell biology. An important element in the decoding of intracellular calcium concentration into downstream processes is the ubiquitous and highly conserved calcium binding ...

Pneumococcal vaccination responses in adults with subnormal IgG subclass concentrations
Background We sought to compare Pneumovax®23 responses in adults with subnormal IgG subclass concentrations. We studied adults with normal total IgG, frequent/severe respiratory infection, and subnormal IgG1, IgG3, or IgG1 + IgG3 before and after ...

Evolutionary Covariant Positions within Calmodulin EF-hand Sequences Promote Ligand Binding [PDF]
Intracellular calcium signaling is an essential regulatory mechanism through calcium-mediated signal transduction pathways involved in many cell processes, such as exocytosis, motility, apoptosis, excitability, transcription, and muscle contraction.

Galactoside-Binding Site in LacY [PDF]
Although an X-ray crystal structure of lactose permease (LacY) has been presented with bound galactopyranoside, neither the sugar nor the residues ligating the sugar can be identified with precision at ~3.5 Å. Therefore, additional evidence is important for identifying side chains likely to be involved in binding.

Residues in the 1st Transmembrane-Spanning Helix Are Important for GABAAρ Receptor Function
GABAAρ receptors are a subfamily of the GABAA receptor family of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs). Each subunit has a common structure, including a transmembrane domain of four α-helices (M1–M4).

Targets for the MalI repressor at the divergent Escherichia coliK-12malX-malI promoters [PDF]
Random mutagenesis has been used to identify the target DNA sites for the MalI repressor at the divergent Escherichia coli K-12 malX-malI promoters. The malX promoter is repressed by MalI binding to a DNA site located from position -24 to position -9 ...

Computing the protein binding sites [PDF]
Identifying the location of binding sites on proteins is of fundamental importance for a wide range of applications including molecular docking, de novo drug design, structure identification and comparison of functional sites. Structural genomic projects are beginning to produce protein structures with unknown functions.
