Efficient processing of an antigenic sequence for presentation by MHC class I molecules depends on its neighboring residues in the protein [PDF]
Processing of endogenously synthesized proteins generates short peptides that are presented by MHC class I molecules to CD8 T lymphocytes. Here it is documented that not only the sequence of the presented peptide but also the residues by which it is ...

Cloning Trap for Signal Peptide Sequences [PDF]
Novel secreted and/or type I transmembrane proteins containing N-terminal signal sequences have been successfully cloned using the signal sequence trapping (SST) method. Often this involves random cloning of short 5' cDNA terminal ends into an epitope-tagged expression vector and the detection of expressed recombinant proteins on the cell surfaces of ...

Solution to peptide sequencing challenge [PDF]
The cyclic peptide described is kalata B1 [1, 2] and its structure is shown in Fig. 1. The partial reduction of the cyclic peptide [2, 3] allows one to establish the disulfide connectivity. The first peptide is amino-ethylated at only {2}Cys and {5}Cys, whereas the second peptide is amino-ethylated at only {1}Cys and {4}Cys.

Aminopeptidase C of Aspergillus niger is a Novel Phenylalanine Aminopeptidase [PDF]
A novel enzyme with a specific phenylalanine aminopeptidase activity (ApsC) from Aspergillus niger (CBS 120.49) has been characterized. The derived amino acid sequence is not similar to any previously characterized aminopeptidase sequence but does share ...

Cn-AMP2 from green coconut water is an anionic anticancer peptide [PDF]
Globally, death due to cancers is likely to rise to over 20 million by 2030,which has created an urgent need for novel approaches to anticancer therapies such as the development of host defence peptides.

Pancreatic cancer-derived S-100A8 N-terminal peptide: a diabetes cause? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Our aim was to identify the pancreatic cancer diabetogenic peptide. METHODS: Pancreatic tumor samples from patients with (n=15) or without (n=7) diabetes were compared with 6 non-neoplastic pancreas samples using SDS-PAGE.

Chemotaxis of Arbacia punctulata spermatozoa to resact, a peptide from the egg jelly layer [PDF]
Resact, a peptide of known sequence isolated from the jelly layer of Arbacia punctulata eggs, is a potent chemoattractant for A. punctulata spermatozoa. The chemotactic response is concentration dependent, is abolished by pretreatment of the spermatozoa ...

Immunological reactivity of a human immunodeficiency virus type I derived peptide representing a consensus sequence of the GP120 major neutralizing region V3 [PDF]
To reduce the opportunities for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to evade vaccine induced immunity, the development of subunit vaccines must focus on the characterization of immunogenic epitopes, which are major targets for the immune system ...
