Panorama of the Intracellular Molecular Concert Orchestrated by Actinoporins, Pore-Forming Toxins from Sea Anemones

Toxins, 2021
Actinoporins (APs) are soluble pore-forming proteins secreted by sea anemones that experience conformational changes originating in pores in the membranes that can lead to cell death. The processes involved in the binding and pore-formation of members of

Arginine substitution by alanine at the P1 position increases the selectivity of CmPI-II, a non-classical Kazal inhibitor

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
CmPI-II is a Kazal-type tight-binding inhibitor isolated from the Caribbean snail Cenchritis muricatus. This inhibitor has an unusual specificity in the Kazal family, as it can inhibit subtilisin A (SUBTA), elastases and trypsin. An alanine in CmPI-II P1

Genome-Wide Analysis of the COBRA-Like Gene Family Supports Gene Expansion through Whole-Genome Duplication in Soybean (Glycine max)

Plants, 2021
The COBRA-like (COBL) gene family has been associated with the regulation of cell wall expansion and cellulose deposition. COBL mutants result in reduced levels and disorganized deposition of cellulose causing defects in the cell wall and inhibiting ...

The Computer-Assisted Sequence Annotation (CASA) workflow for enzyme discovery. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise With the advent of inexpensive nucleic acid sequencing and automated annotation at the level of basic functionality, the central problem of enzyme discovery is no longer finding active sequences, it is determining which ones are suitable for further study.

Evaluation of four different strategies to characterize plasma membrane proteins from banana roots [PDF]

, 2015
Plasma membrane proteins constitute a very important class of proteins. They are involved in the transmission of external signals to the interior of the cell and selective transport of water, nutrients and ions across the plasma membrane.
