Interaction of the maltose-binding protein with membrane vesicles of Escherichia coli [PDF]
The interaction of the radioactively labeled purified maltose-binding protein of Escherichia coli with membrane vesicles was studied. The maltose-binding protein bound specifically to the vesicles, in the presence of maltose, on few sites. Under conditions in which a potential was imposed across the membrane, the specific binding was (i) increased, (ii)

Targets for the MalI repressor at the divergent Escherichia coliK-12malX-malI promoters [PDF]
Random mutagenesis has been used to identify the target DNA sites for the MalI repressor at the divergent Escherichia coli K-12 malX-malI promoters. The malX promoter is repressed by MalI binding to a DNA site located from position -24 to position -9 ...

Global protein function prediction in protein-protein interaction networks [PDF]
The determination of protein functions is one of the most challenging problems of the post-genomic era. The sequencing of entire genomes and the possibility to access gene's co-expression patterns has moved the attention from the study of single proteins or small complexes to that of the entire proteome. In this context, the search for reliable methods

Dependence of maltose transport and chemotaxis on the amount of maltose-binding protein.
Maltose-binding protein (MBP) is essential for maltose transport and chemotaxis in Escherichia coli. To perform these functions it must interact with two sets of cytoplasmic membrane proteins, the MalFGK transport complex and the chemotactic signal transducer Tar.

Molecular cloning of the cDNA encoding pp36, a tyrosine-phosphorylated adaptor protein selectively expressed by T cells and natural killer cells. [PDF]
Activation of T and natural killer (NK) cells leads to the tyrosine phosphorylation of pp36 and to its association with several signaling molecules, including phospholipase Cgamma-1 and Grb2.

Background Bacterial expression and purification of recombinant proteins under homogeneous active form is often challenging. Fusion to highly soluble carrier proteins such as Maltose Binding Protein (MBP) often improves their folding and solubility, but ...

Crystal structure of human IPS-1/MAVS/VISA/Cardif caspase activation recruitment domain [PDF]
Background: IPS-1/MAVS/VISA/Cardif is an adaptor protein that plays a crucial role in the induction of interferons in response to viral infection. In the initial stage of the intracellular antiviral response two RNA helicases, retinoic acid inducible ...

Towards defining the role of glycans as hardware in information storage and transfer: Basic principles, experimental approaches and recent progress [PDF]
The term `code' in biological information transfer appears to be tightly and hitherto exclusively connected with the genetic code based on nucleotides and translated into functional activities via proteins.

Recombinant proteins have become useful tools in biochemistry research. During their production, however, inclusion bodies (IB) appear, on the one hand, due to the high expression rate from the recombinant plasmids, which have high efficiency promoters ...
