Rational Design of Heterodimeric Protein using Domain Swapping for Myoglobin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Protein design is a useful method to create novel artificial proteins. A rational approach to design a heterodimeric protein using domain swapping for horse myoglobin (Mb) was developed. As confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, a heterodimeric Mb

Swapping of transmembrane domains in the epithelial calcium channel TRPV6

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Tetrameric ion channels have either swapped or non-swapped arrangements of the S1–S4 and pore domains. Here we show that mutations in the transmembrane domain of TRPV6 can result in conversion from a domain-swapped to non-swapped fold.

Inverse Design of Amorphous Materials With Targeted Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
AMDEN is a diffusion model framework for the inverse design of amorphous materials with targeted properties. By incorporating Hamiltonian Monte Carlo refinement into the denoising process, the framework overcomes the challenge of generating thermally relaxed disordered structures.

Protein Domain-Swapping Can Be a Consequence of Functional Residues

open access: yes, 2016
Monomer topology has been implicated in domain-swapping, a potential first step on the route to disease-causing protein aggregation. Despite having the same topology (β1-α1-β2-β3-β4-β5), the cysteine protease inhibitor stefin-B domain swaps more readily ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis CarD, an essential global transcriptional regulator forms amyloid-like fibrils

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
CarD is an essential global transcription regulator from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) that binds RNA polymerase and activates transcription by stabilizing the transcription initiation complex.

Biological Activities of Secretory RNases: Focus on Their Oligomerization to Design Antitumor Drugs

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Ribonucleases (RNases) are a large number of enzymes gathered into different bacterial or eukaryotic superfamilies. Bovine pancreatic RNase A, bovine seminal BS-RNase, human pancreatic RNase 1, angiogenin (RNase 5), and amphibian onconase belong to the ...

BS‐RNase tetramers: An example of domain‐swapped oligomers [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1996
In the ribonuclease superfamily, dimericity is a unique feature of bovine seminal RNase (BS‐RNase). In about two‐thirds of native BS‐RNase molecules, the two subunits interchange their N‐terminal tails, thus generating domain‐swapped dimers (MxM), which mostly responsible for enzyme biological activities and allostericity.

Measuring the Hall Effect in Hysteretic Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The authors highlight common pitfalls in measuring the Hall effect: in hysteretic magnets, improper data processing can create signals that look exotic but are not real. This Perspective explains the origin of these artifacts and presents practical measurement strategies that help researchers identify reliable Hall responses in complex magnetic ...

The 25 kDa HCN Domain of Clostridial Neurotoxins Is Indispensable for Their Neurotoxicity

open access: yesToxins, 2020
The extraordinarily potent clostridial neurotoxins (CNTs) comprise tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) and the seven established botulinum neurotoxin serotypes (BoNT/A-G).

Double‐Transition‐Metal MXenes: Multimetallic 2D Platforms for Next‐Generation Biomedicine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The present work explores recent progress in double‐transition‐metal MXenes and focuses on their potential as multifunctional biomedical nanoplatforms whose tunable optical, electronic, mechanical, and surface properties enable imaging, theranostics, antimicrobial activity, biosensing, tissue engineering, and drug delivery.
