Binding of anisotropic curvature-inducing proteins onto membrane tubes [PDF]
Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs superfamily proteins and other curvature-inducing proteins have anisotropic shapes and anisotropically bend biomembrane. Here, we report how the anisotropic proteins bind the membrane tube and are orientationally ordered using mean-field theory including an orientation-dependent excluded volume.

The Major Soybean Allergen Gly m Bd 28K Induces Hypersensitivity Reactions in Mice Sensitized to Cow's Milk Proteins [PDF]
Reactions to soy have been reported in a proportion of patients with IgE-mediated cow’s milk allergy (CMA). In this work, we analyzed if Gly m Bd 28K/P28, one of the major soybean allergens, is a cross-reactive allergen with cow milk proteins (CMP).

Expression and Purification of the Arabidopsis E4 SUMO Ligases PIAL1 and PIAL2
The proteins PIAL1 (At1g08910) and PIAL2 (At5g41580) are members of the recently discovered group of plant E4 SUMO ligases. This protocol allows quick and simple expression of the recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli (E.

Curvature sensing of curvature-inducing proteins with internal structure [PDF]
Many types of peripheral and transmembrane proteins can sense and generate membrane curvature. Laterally isotropic proteins and crescent proteins with twofold rotational symmetry, such as Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs superfamily proteins, have been studied theoretically. However, proteins often have an asymmetric structure or a higher rotational symmetry.

Maltose-binding protein is a potential carrier for oral immunizations [PDF]
Maltose binding protein (MBP) is often fused to a relevant protein to improve its yield and facilitate its purification, but MBP can also enhance the immunogenicity of the fused proteins. Recent data suggest that MBP may potentiate antigen-presenting functions in immunized animals by providing intrinsic maturation stimuli to dendritic cells through ...

Synthesis of fluorinated maltose derivatives for monitoring protein interaction by 19F NMR
A novel reporter system, which is applicable to the 19F NMR investigation of protein interactions, is presented. This approach uses 2-F-labeled maltose as a spy ligand to indirectly probe protein–ligand or protein–protein interactions of proteins fused ...

Cryo-EM structure determination of small proteins by nanobody-binding scaffolds (Legobodies)
Significance Structure determination by cryo-EM is difficult or impossible to apply to proteins smaller than ∼100 kDa, excluding many membrane proteins and proteins of pharmaceutical importance from the analysis.

Bind-n-Seq: high-throughput analysis of in vitro protein-DNA interactions using massively parallel sequencing. [PDF]
Transcription factor-DNA interactions are some of the most important processes in biology because they directly control hereditary information. The targets of most transcription factor are unknown.
