A novel biosensor for measuring plasmin activity
Background: Plasmin facilitates fibrinolysis by catalyzing the degradation of fibrin clots. Reliable methods to assess fibrinolysis by measuring plasmin generation are needed in the preclinical and clinical settings.

A comparative study of short linear motif compositions of the influenza A virus ribonucleoproteins. [PDF]
Protein-protein interactions through short linear motifs (SLiMs) are an emerging concept that is different from interactions between globular domains. The SLiMs encode a functional interaction interface in a short (three to ten residues) poorly conserved

A Conserved α-Helical Motif Mediates the Binding of Diverse Nuclear Proteins to the SRC1 Interaction Domain of CBP [PDF]
CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300 contain modular domains that mediate protein-protein interactions with a wide variety of nuclear factors. A C-terminal domain of CBP (referred to as the SID) is responsible for interaction with the alpha-helical AD1 domain of p160 coactivators such as the steroid receptor coactivator (SRC1), and also other ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

The key amino acids of E protein involved in early flavivirus infection: viral entry
Flaviviruses are enveloped viruses that infect multiple hosts. Envelope proteins are the outermost proteins in the structure of flaviviruses and mediate viral infection.

The Phosphotyrosine Interaction Domains of X11 and FE65 Bind to Distinct Sites on the YENPTY Motif of Amyloid Precursor Protein [PDF]
The phosphotyrosine interaction (PI) domains (also known as the PTB, or phosphotyrosine binding, domains) of Shc and IRS-1 are recently described domains that bind peptides phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. The PI/PTB domains differ from Src homology 2 (SH2) domains in that their binding specificity is determined by residues that lie amino terminal ...

Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Self-organization of intrinsically disordered proteins with folded N-termini [PDF]
Thousands of human proteins lack recognizable tertiary structure in most of their chains. Here we hypothesize that some use their structured N-terminal domains (SNTDs) to organise the remaining protein chain via intramolecular interactions, generating ...
