A Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Molecule, Protoporphyrin IX, Acts as a Moderator of HIV-1 Capsid Assembly by Targeting the Capsid Hexamer

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
The capsid protein (CA), an essential component of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), represents an appealing target for antivirals. Small molecules targeting the CAI-binding cavity in the C-terminal domain of HIV-1 CA (CA CTD) confer potent ...

Analysis of the initiating events in HIV-1 particle assembly and genome packaging. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2010
HIV-1 Gag drives a number of events during the genesis of virions and is the only viral protein required for the assembly of virus-like particles in vitro and in cells.

Evolutionarily conserved herpesviral protein interaction networks. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Herpesviruses constitute a family of large DNA viruses widely spread in vertebrates and causing a variety of different diseases. They possess dsDNA genomes ranging from 120 to 240 kbp encoding between 70 to 170 open reading frames. We previously reported

DNA-Mediated Stack Formation of Nanodiscs

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Membrane-scaffolding proteins (MSPs) derived from apolipoprotein A-1 have become a versatile tool in generating nano-sized discoidal membrane mimetics (nanodiscs) for membrane protein research.

CHAPTER 1.1. Disulfide Bonds in Protein Folding and Stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Disulfide bonds are unique among post-translational modifications, as they add covalent crosslinks to the polypeptide chain. Accordingly, they can exert pronounced effects on protein folding and stability. This is of particular importance for secreted or

The role of Cysteine 227 in subcellular localization, water permeability, and multimerization of aquaporin-11

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2014
Aquaporin-11 (AQP11) is the latest member of the mammalian water channel protein family to be described. Recent in vivo studies have shown that mutation at Cys227 causes renal failure.

Dynamics of HIV-1 assembly and release. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Assembly and release of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) occur at the plasma membrane of infected cells and are driven by the Gag polyprotein. Previous studies analyzed viral morphogenesis using biochemical methods and static images, while dynamic and ...

The Vesicle-inducing Protein 1 from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Organizes into Diverse Higher-Ordered Ring Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The vesicle-inducing protein in plastids 1 (Vipp1) was found to be involved in thylakoid membrane formation in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. In contrast to chloroplasts, it has been suggested that in cyanobacteria the protein is only tightly associated

The Evolution of Multimeric Protein Assemblages [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2011
Although the mechanisms by which complex cellular features evolve constitute one of the great unsolved problems of evolutionary biology, it is clear that the emergence of new protein-protein interactions, often accompanied by the diversification of duplicate genes, is involved.
