Monothiol and dithiol glutaredoxin-1 from Clostridium oremlandii: identification of domain-swapped structures by NMR, X-ray crystallography and HDX mass spectrometry

open access: yesIUCrJ, 2020
Protein dimerization or oligomerization resulting from swapping part of the protein between neighboring polypeptide chains is known to play a key role in the regulation of protein function and in the formation of protein aggregates.

Deposition Diseases and 3D Domain Swapping [PDF]

open access: yesStructure, 2006
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]

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2010
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]

open access: yesStructure, 2006
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

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999
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

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2012
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,

Cooperativity of catalytic and lectin-like domain of Trypanosoma congolense trans-sialidase modulates its catalytic activity.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
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 ...
