Measurement of Redox States of the β3 Integrin Disulfide Bonds by Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2019
Functional disulfide bonds mediate a change in protein function in which they reside when cleaved or formed. To elucidate how a functional disulfide bond controls protein activity, it is critical that the redox state of the bond in the population of ...

Engineering a disulfide bond in the lid hinge region of Rhizopus chinensis lipase: increased thermostability and altered acyl chain length specificity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The key to enzyme function is the maintenance of an appropriate balance between molecular stability and structural flexibility. The lid domain which is very important for "interfacial activation" is the most flexible part in the lipase structure. In this

TREATMENT OF DISULFIDE BONDS IN COARSE-GRAINED UNRES FORCE FIELD

open access: yesTASK Quarterly, 2016
Disulfide bonds, despite the advances of the computational methods, are underrepresented in theoretical chemistry and the role of disulfide bonds is often diminished in bioinformatical studies.

Interleukin-2 signalling is modulated by a labile disulfide bond in the CD132 chain of its receptor [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2012
Certain disulfide bonds present in leucocyte membrane proteins are labile and can be reduced in inflammation. This can cause structural changes that result in downstream functional effects, for example, in integrin activation.

Disulfide bond formation and ToxR activity in Vibrio cholerae. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Virulence factor production in Vibrio cholerae is complex, with ToxRS being an important part of the regulatory cascade. Additionally, ToxR is the transcriptional regulator for the genes encoding the major outer membrane porins OmpU and OmpT.

Distinct roles and actions of protein disulfide isomerase family enzymes in catalysis of nascent-chain disulfide bond formation

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: The mammalian endoplasmic reticulum (ER) harbors more than 20 members of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family that act to maintain proteostasis.

Synthesis of the Most Potent Isomer of μ-Conotoxin KIIIA Using Different Strategies

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
In the chemical synthesis of conotoxins with multiple disulfide bonds, the oxidative folding process can result in diverse disulfide bond connectivities, which presents a challenge for determining the natural disulfide bond connectivities and leads to ...

Maternal nicotine exposure leads to impaired disulfide bond formation and augmented endoplasmic reticulum stress in the rat placenta.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Maternal nicotine exposure has been associated with many adverse fetal and placental outcomes. Although underlying mechanisms remain elusive, recent studies have identified that augmented endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is linked to placental ...
