Arabidopsis AUGMIN8 Contains Two Independent Microtubule Association Domains

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant cells create a plasma membrane‐associated network of microtubules that are nucleated by γ‐tubulin ring complexes primarily through microtubule‐dependent microtubule nucleation (MDMN). This dynamic array organizes into specific patterns in response to developmental and environmental cues to influence primary cell wall construction.

Characterization of Hantavirus N Protein Intracellular Dynamics and Localization

Viruses, 2022
Hantaviruses are enveloped viruses that possess a tri-segmented, negative-sense RNA genome. The viral S-segment encodes the multifunctional nucleocapsid protein (N), which is involved in genome packaging, intracellular protein transport, immunoregulation,

Evolutionary diversification of the multimeric states of proteins [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Significance Rather than operating as single units, most proteins assemble as multimers, usually with all subunits derived from the same gene. In contrast to patterns of gene structure and genome organization, which typically exhibit substantial increases in complexity from unicellular to multicellular organisms, the structural complexity of ...

Protocol for Reconstituting Adaptor‐Mediated Activation of Full‐Length Kinesin‐1

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kinesin‐1 is a member of the kinesin superfamily that plays an essential role in intracellular cargo transport. In the absence of cargo, Kinesin‐1 exhibits low motor activity due to autoinhibition. Multiple studies have demonstrated that adaptor proteins, which link cargos to Kinesin‐1, can activate Kinesin‐1 by releasing the autoinhibition ...

Protein-Protein Complex Structure Predictions by Multimeric Threading and Template Recombination [PDF]

Structure, 2011
The total number of protein-protein complex structures currently available in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) is six times smaller than the total number of tertiary structures in the PDB, which limits the power of homology-based approaches to complex structure modeling.

The Squalene Oil‐in‐Water Nanoemulsion Vaccine Carrier AddaVax Potentiates TLR‐Induced B‐Cell Responses

Cytometry Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For vaccination, the mechanisms of action of antigens and of immunostimulatory pathogen‐associated molecular pattern (PAMP) adjuvants are better understood than the roles of the depot, carrier, and other formulation‐related influences. Here, we carried out cytometric studies of vaccine formulations and the effect of adjuvant formulations on B ...

Structural Insights into RNA Dimerization: Motifs, Interfaces and Functions

Molecules, 2020
In comparison with the pervasive use of protein dimers and multimers in all domains of life, functional RNA oligomers have so far rarely been observed in nature.

The HIVToolbox 2 web system integrates sequence, structure, function and mutation analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
There is enormous interest in studying HIV pathogenesis for improving the treatment of patients with HIV infection. HIV infection has become one of the best-studied systems for understanding how a virus can hijack a cell. To help facilitate discovery, we

Mosaic activation of the zebrafish hsp70l heat shock promoter: Implications for interpreting transgenes

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The promoters and enhancers of heat shock genes, such as the 1.5‐kb promoter of the zebrafish hsp70l gene, are valuable tools for temporal activation of transgenes. It has been widely purported that heat shock treatments result in ubiquitous expression of hsp70l‐driven transgenes.

Pretargeted Imaging with Gallium-68—Improving the Binding Capability by Increasing the Number of Tetrazine Motifs

Pharmaceuticals, 2018
The inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction between 1,2,4,5-tetrazine (Tz) and trans-cyclooct-2-ene (TCO) has gained increasing attraction among extensive studies on click chemistry due to its exceptionally fast reaction kinetics and high ...
