Characterization of a Novel Intramolecular Chaperone Domain Conserved in Endosialidases and Other Bacteriophage Tail Spike and Fiber Proteins*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
Folding and assembly of endosialidases, the trimeric tail spike proteins of Escherichia coli K1-specific bacteriophages, crucially depend on their C-terminal domain (CTD).

Molecular Insight into the Role of the N-terminal Extension in the Maturation, Substrate Recognition, and Catalysis of a Bacterial Alginate Lyase from Polysaccharide Lyase Family 18*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Background: The maturation and catalysis mechanisms of the PL18 alginate lyases have not yet been reported. Results: The N-terminal extension in the precursor of PL18, aly-SJ02, helped the catalytic domain fold correctly.

Characterization of different alginate lyases for dissolving Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms

Scientific Reports, 2020
Aggregates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa form a protective barrier against antibiotics and the immune system. These barriers, known as biofilms, are associated with several infectious diseases. One of the main components of these biofilms is alginate, a homo-

Computational analysis of propeptide‐containing proteins and prediction of their post‐cleavage conformation changes

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics
A propeptide is removed from a precursor protein to generate its active or mature form. Propeptides play essential roles in protein folding, transportation, and activation and are present in about 2.3% of reviewed proteins in the UniProt database.
