Hsp90 Breaks the Deadlock of the Hsp70 Chaperone System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Protein folding in the cell requires ATP-driven chaperone machines such as the conserved Hsp70 and Hsp90. It is enigmatic how these machines fold proteins.

Icaritin promotes apoptosis and inhibits proliferation by down-regulating AFP gene expression in hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2021
Background Icaritin, an active ingredient of the Chinese herb Epimedium, plays an anti-tumor role in liver cancer by inhibiting the proliferation of hepatocellular cells and promoting their apoptosis.

Hybridization is a recurrent evolutionary stimulus in wild yeast speciation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Hybridization can contribute to diversity from the genomic to the species level. Here, Eberlein, Hénault et al. investigate genomic, transcriptomic and phenotypic variation among wild lineages of the yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus and suggest that an ...

GP73-mediated secretion of AFP and GP73 promotes proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells

open access: yesOncogenesis, 2021
Golgi protein 73 (GP73) and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and their serum levels correlate with patients’ outcomes. However, the mechanisms underlying these correlations are unknown. Here

Virulence Functions of Autotransporter Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 2001
Bacterial pathogens must execute a prodigious array of complex functions in order to survive, multiply, and disseminate within mammalian hosts. Virulence determinants are usually proteinaceous in nature and are often either secreted to the bacterial cell surface or released into the ...

Functions of the Prion Protein

open access: yes, 2017
Although initially disregarded compared to prion pathogenesis, the functions exerted by the cellular prion protein PrPC have gained much interest over the past two decades. Research aiming at unraveling PrPC functions started to intensify when it became appreciated that it would give clues as to how it is subverted in the context of prion infection and,

Resistant Protein: Forms and Functions

open access: yesFoods, 2022
Several global health risks are related to our dietary lifestyle. As a consequence of the overconsumption of ultra-processed and highly digestible protein (150–200% of the recommended value), excess dietary proteins reach the colon, are hydrolysed to peptides and amino acids by bacterial proteases and fermented to various potentially toxic end products.

Inferring function using patterns of native disorder in proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Natively unstructured regions are a common feature of eukaryotic proteomes. Between 30% and 60% of proteins are predicted to contain long stretches of disordered residues, and not only have many of these regions been confirmed experimentally, but they ...

An assessment of feature relevance in predicting protein function from sequence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Improving the performance of protein function prediction is the ultimate goal for a bioinformatician working in functional genomics. The classical prediction approach is to employ pairwise sequence alignments. However this method often faces difficulties
