Studying protein-protein interactions using peptide arrays [PDF]
Screening of arrays and libraries of compounds is well-established as a high-throughput method for detecting and analyzing interactions in both biological and chemical systems. Arrays and libraries can be composed from various types of molecules, ranging

It is currently unknown if the increase of the hepatic iron regulatory hormone hepcidin during inflammation in man depends on an intact HFE-protein. Here we describe the temporal relationship of serum hepcidin, serum iron and cytokines in a patient with ...

Correction of the iron overload defect in beta-2-microglobulin knockout mice by lactoferrin abolishes their increased susceptibility to tuberculosis. [PDF]
As a resident of early endosomal phagosomes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is connected to the iron uptake system of the host macrophage. beta-2-microglobulin (beta2m) knockout (KO) mice are more susceptible to tuberculosis than wild-type mice, which is ...

Hemojuvelin N-terminal mutants reach the plasma membrane but do not activate the hepcidin response
Background Hemojuvelin is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein, expressed in liver, skeletal muscle and heart. As a co-receptor of bone morphogenetic protein, membrane hemojuvelin positively modulates the iron regulator hepcidin.

Hemochromatosis-like disease in Brazilian tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) in Pará state, Brazil
We report two cases of hemochromatosis-like disease in captive Brazilian tapirs, Tapirus terrestris in Pará state, Brazil. Both animals presented symptoms of chronic hepatopathy associated with marked accumulation of hemosiderin.

The extrahepatic role of TFR2 in iron homeostasis
Transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2), a protein homologous to the cell iron importer transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1), is expressed in the liver and erythroid cells and is reported to bind diferric transferrin, although at lower affinity than TFR1.

CHAPTER 1.1. Disulfide Bonds in Protein Folding and Stability [PDF]
Disulfide bonds are unique among post-translational modifications, as they add covalent crosslinks to the polypeptide chain. Accordingly, they can exert pronounced effects on protein folding and stability. This is of particular importance for secreted or
