The chloroplast import receptor Toc34 functions as preprotein-regulated GTPase [PDF]
, 2002 Toc34 is a protein of the chloroplast outer envelope membrane that acts as receptor for preproteins containing a transit sequence. The recognition of preproteins by Toc34 is regulated by GTP binding and phosphorylation.

Structural Mechanism for the Specific Assembly and Activation of the Extracellular Signal Regulated Kinase 5 (ERK5) Module [PDF]
, 2013 Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation depends on a linear binding motif found in all MAPK kinases (MKK). In addition, the PB1 (Phox and Bem1) domain of MKK5 is required for extracellular signal regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) activation.

Unraveling Hepcidin Plasma Protein Binding: Evidence from Peritoneal Equilibration Testing
Pharmaceuticals, 2019 Peptide hormone hepcidin regulates systemic iron metabolism and has been described to be partially bound to α2-macroglobulin and albumin in blood. However, the reported degree of hepcidin protein binding varies between <3% and ≈89%.

A Kinetic Transition Network Model Reveals the Diversity of Protein Dimer Formation Mechanisms
Biomolecules, 2023 Protein homodimers have been classified as three-state or two-state dimers depending on whether a folded monomer forms before association, but the details of the folding–binding mechanisms are poorly understood.

The major transcriptional regulatory protein of herpes simplex virus type 1 includes a protease resistant DNA binding domain [PDF]
, 1990 Herpes simplex virus type 1 expresses five immediateearly (IE) polypeptides. In the absence of functional Vmw175 (the product of IE gene 3) activation of transcription of later classes of viral genes and repression of IE gene expression does not occur ...

Computational prediction of protein–protein binding affinities
WIREs Computational Molecular Science, 2019 Protein–protein interactions form central elements of almost all cellular processes. Knowledge of the structure of protein–protein complexes but also of the binding affinity is of major importance to understand the biological function of protein–protein ...

Molecular mechanism of Gαi activation by non-GPCR proteins with a Gα-Binding and Activating motif [PDF]
, 2017 Heterotrimeric G proteins are quintessential signalling switches activated by nucleotide exchange on Gα. Although activation is predominantly carried out by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), non-receptor guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) have
