Thermodynamic studies of Ca²⺠binding to human cardiac troponin C [PDF]
, 2012 Human Cardiac Troponin C (HcTnC) is an EF hand protein responsible for initiating contraction of the myocardium (heart muscle). The helix-loop-helix motif characteristic of members of the EF-hand family allows HcTnC to act as a Ca²⺠sensor and relays ...

Identification and quantification of calcium-binding proteins in squid axoplasm [PDF]
, 1988 The identities and quantities of calcium-binding proteins were determined in axoplasm isolated from the squid giant axon. 45Ca-binding assays on nitrocellulose filters containing axoplasm proteins separated by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis revealed ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Ligand binding and homology modelling of insect odorant-binding proteins [PDF]
, 2014 This review describes the main characteristics of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) for homology modelling and presents a summary of structure prediction studies on insect OBPs, along with the steps involved and some limitations and improvements.

The functions of y-box binding proteins in caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2015 Members of the highly conserved family of Y-box binding proteins (YBPs) have a broad spectrum of functions in both transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Structural and functional studies of intrinsically disordered fibronectin-binding proteins [PDF]
, 2009 Bacterial fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) mediate adhesion of bacteria to host tissues through binding to the human protein fibronectin (Fn). FnBPs are predicted to contain a series of intrinsically disordered Fn-binding repeats (FnBRs), which ...

Mbd1 is recruited to both methylated and nonmethylated CpGs via distinct DNA binding domains [PDF]
, 2004 MBD1 is a vertebrate methyl-CpG binding domain protein (MBD) that can bring about repression of methylated promoter DNA sequences. Like other MBD proteins, MBD1 localizes to nuclear foci that in mice are rich in methyl-CpG.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...
