The structure of the PapD-PapGII pilin complex reveals an open and flexible P5 pocket [PDF]

, 2012
P pili are hairlike polymeric structures that mediate binding of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to the surface of the kidney via the PapG adhesin at their tips.

Epitopes of Immunoreactive Proteins of Streptococcus Agalactiae: Enolase, Inosine 5′-Monophosphate Dehydrogenase and Molecular Chaperone GroEL

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Three Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococci, GBS) immunoreactive proteins: enolase (47.4 kDa), inosine 5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) (53 kDa) and molecular chaperone GroEL (57 kDa) were subjected to investigation.

Prediction of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis α-crystallin oligomer chaperone activity using polynomial graphs [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2020
Background: Mycobacterial α-crystallin (Acr) is a chaperone that prevents misfolding of proteins when Mycobacterium tuberculosis is found in a latent form in the host tissue. Methods: Using insulin as a model substrate and utilizing polynomial graphs, we

Aging cellular networks: chaperones as major participants

, 2006
We increasingly rely on the network approach to understand the complexity of cellular functions. Chaperones (heat shock proteins) are key "networkers", which have among their functions to sequester and repair damaged protein. In order to link the network

Alpha-Hemoglobin-Stabilizing Protein: An Erythroid Molecular Chaperone

Biochemistry Research International, 2011
Alpha-hemoglobin-stabilizing protein (AHSP) is an erythroid-specific protein that acts as a molecular chaperone for the free α chains of hemoglobin. Evidence strongly suggests that AHSP participates in hemoglobin synthesis and may act to neutralize the ...

The Chlamydia trachomatis Type III Secretion Chaperone Slc1 Engages Multiple Early Effectors, Including TepP, a Tyrosine-phosphorylated Protein Required for the Recruitment of CrkI-II to Nascent Inclusions and Innate Immune Signaling [PDF]

, 2014
Chlamydia trachomatis, the causative agent of trachoma and sexually transmitted infections, employs a type III secretion (T3S) system to deliver effector proteins into host epithelial cells to establish a replicative vacuole.

Calmodulin regulates protease versus co-chaperone activity of a metacaspase

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Metacaspases are ancestral homologs of caspases that can either promote cell death or confer cytoprotection. Furthermore, yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) metacaspase Mca1 possesses dual biochemical activity: proteolytic activity causing cell ...
