The DING Family of Phosphate Binding Proteins in Inflammatory Diseases
2014Human paraoxonase 1 (hPON-1) is a protein that has been studied in relation to its antioxidant and anti-atherosclerotic properties. Despite extensive studies, the molecular mechanisms responsible for its functional properties remain unclear. During the last decade, a new partner of hPON-1 has been identified. Hidden for a long time because of a similar

GUANOSINE PHOSPHATE BINDING PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTORS IN PROSTATE CANCER: A REVIEW
Journal of Urology, 2002Androgens are the primary growth promoters of the prostate gland and yet prostate tumors progress despite androgen ablation. This progression suggests a role for additional cellular factors in the progression to androgen independent disease. We examined the role of a family of extracellular signal regulators, namely the guanosine phosphate binding (G ...

Tyrosine environment and phosphate binding in the archaebacterial histone-like protein HTa
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 1988Abstract The thermophilic Archaebacterium, Thermoplasma acidophilum , has a DNA-stabilizing protein bound to its DNA. Each polypeptide chain of the protein contains only a single tyrosine residue. The protein exists normally as a complex of four identical subunits.

Regulation of early-endosome dynamics by phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate binding proteins
Biochemical Society Transactions, 1999Introduction The endocytic pathway plays an important role in regulating the activities of signalling receptors. Experiments that block the clathrin-mediated internalization of epidermal growth factor receptors have shown that the relative strengths of various signalling pathways associated with the activated receptor are significantly altered as a ...

Potentiometric phosphate-sensing system utilizing phosphate-binding protein
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2002A phosphate-detection system has been developed which uses phosphate-binding protein (PBP) from Escherichia coli. PBP was immobilized on a sheet of nitrocellulose membrane by cross-linking and the membrane potential of the immobilized PBP was measured. The response time of the system to phosphate was 5 min. The response was selective to phosphate among

A Biosensor for Inorganic Phosphate Using a Rhodamine-Labeled Phosphate Binding Protein
Biochemistry, 2006A novel biosensor for inorganic phosphate (Pi) has been developed based on the phosphate binding protein of Escherichia coli. Two cysteine mutations were introduced and labeled with 6-iodoacetamidotetramethylrhodamine. When physically close to each other and correctly oriented, two rhodamine dyes interact to form a noncovalent dimer.

Phosphate-binding proteins and peptides: from molecular mechanisms to potential applications
Current Opinion in BiotechnologySelective binding of phosphate is vital to multiple aims including phosphate transport into cells and phosphate-targeted applications such as adsorption-based water treatment and sensing. High-affinity phosphate-binding proteins and peptides offer a nature-inspired means of efficiently binding and separating phosphate from complex matrices. The binding

Dissection of the Nucleotide and Metal−Phosphate Binding Sites in cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase
Biochemistry, 1999The catalytic (C) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK) is more stable by several criteria when it is part of a holoenzyme complex. By measuring the thermal stability of the free C subunit in the presence and absence of nucleotides and/or divalent metal ions, it was found that most of the stabilizing effects associated with the type I ...
