Charge-Mediated Pyrin Oligomerization Nucleates Antiviral IFI16 Sensing of Herpesvirus DNA
The formation of multimerized protein assemblies has emerged as a core component of immune signal amplification, yet the biochemical basis of this phenomenon remains unclear for many mammalian proteins within host defense pathways.

Activation and Oligomerization of Aspartylglucosaminidase [PDF]
Secretory, membrane, and lysosomal proteins undergo covalent modifications and acquire their secondary and tertiary structure in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In order to pass the ER quality control system and become transported to their final destinations, many of them are also assembled into oligomers.

Oligomerization of 3,5-Dimethyl Benzyl Alcohol Promoted by Clay: Experimental and Theoretical Study
Linear oligomerization of 3,5-dimethyl benzyl alcohol is induced by a montmorillonite clay (Tonsil Optimum Extra), producing 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-9,10-dihydro-anthracene, which, by loss of protons results in the product 1,3,5,7-tetramethylanthracene.

Septin proteins evolved from ancestral GTPases and co-assemble into hetero-oligomers and cytoskeletal filaments. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, five septins comprise two species of hetero-octamers, Cdc11/Shs1–Cdc12–Cdc3–Cdc10–Cdc10–Cdc3–Cdc12–Cdc11/Shs1 ...

What’s the Defect? Using Mass Defects to Study Oligomerization of Membrane Proteins and Peptides in Nanodiscs with Native Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
Many membrane proteins form functional complexes that are either homo- or hetero-oligomeric. However, it is challenging to characterize membrane protein oligomerization in intact lipid bilayers, especially for polydisperse mixtures.

In this work, we studied the diversity of silicic acid oligomers with Sin=(3−8) obtained during molecular dynamics in a reaction Feston–Garofalini force field that describes the process of oligomerization of silicic acids in an aqueous solution at the ...

The pore-forming epsilon toxin (ETX) produced by Clostridium perfringens is among the most lethal bacterial toxins known. Sensitive antibody-based reagents are needed to detect toxin, distinguish mechanisms of cell death, and prevent ETX toxicity.
