Deposition Diseases and 3D Domain Swapping [PDF]
Protein aggregation is a feature of both normal cellular assemblies and pathological protein depositions. Although the limited order of aggregates has often impeded their structural characterization, 3D domain swapping has been implicated in the formation of several protein aggregates.

Retrotransposon Domain Swapping [PDF]
Whether you consider them major genomic parasites or potentially major drivers of genome expansion, long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are major, making up 15 to 90% of plant nuclear genomes (reviewed in Sabot and Schulman, 2006). These elements transpose by a replicate-and-paste mechanism, wherein an RNA copy of the retrotransposon is reverse

Topological Determinants of Protein Domain Swapping [PDF]
Protein domain swapping has been repeatedly observed in a variety of proteins and is believed to result from destabilization due to mutations or changes in environment. Based on results from our studies and others, we propose that structures of the domain-swapped proteins are mainly determined by their native topologies. We performed molecular dynamics

Trimeric domain-swapped barnase
The structure of a trimeric domain-swapped form of barnase (EC 3.1.27.3 ) was determined by x-ray crystallography at a resolution of 2.2 Å from crystals of space group R 32.

Domain-swapping of mesophilic xylanase with hyper-thermophilic glucanase
Background Domain fusion is limited at enzyme one terminus. The issue was explored by swapping a mesophilic Aspergillus niger GH11 xylanase (Xyn) with a hyper-thermophilic Thermotoga maritima glucanase (Glu) to construct two chimeras, Xyn-Glu and Glu-Xyn,

Trans-sialidases (TS) represent a multi-gene family of unusual enzymes, which catalyse the transfer of terminal sialic acids (Sia) from sialoglycoconjugates to terminal galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine residues of oligosaccharides without the ...
