We studied the effect of a recombinant murine TNF (rmTNF) and TNF-binding protein of Variola virus (VARV-CrmB) upon colony-forming ability of bone marrow cells (BMC) from Balb/c mice.

Neuroprotective Secreted Amyloid Precursor Protein Acts by Disrupting Amyloid Precursor Protein Dimers [PDF]
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is implied both in cell growth and differentiation and in neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer disease. Regulated proteolysis of APP generates biologically active fragments such as the neuroprotective secreted ectodomain sAPPalpha and the neurotoxic beta-amyloid peptide.

Protein folding causes an arrest of preprotein translocation into mitochondria in vivo [PDF]
With vital yeast cells, a hybrid protein consisting of the amino- terminal third of the precursor to cytochrome b2 and of the entire dihydrofolate reductase was arrested on the import pathway into mitochondria.

Amyloid precursor protein and amyloid precursor-like protein 2 in cancer
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its family members amyloid precursor-like protein 1 (APLP1) and amyloid precursor-like protein 2 (APLP2) are type 1 transmembrane glycoproteins that are highly conserved across species. The transcriptional regulation of APP and APLP2 is similar but not identical, and the cleavage of both proteins is regulated by ...

Mitochondrial protein import [PDF]
Proteolytic degradation of receptor sites on the mitochondrial surface strongly reduces the efficiency of mitochondrial protein import. The remaining residual import still involves basic mechanisms of protein import, including: insertion of precursors ...

How proteins are transported into mitochondria [PDF]
Most mitochondrial polypeptides are synthesized outside the organelle as precursors which are usually larger than the ‘mature’ polypeptides found within mitochondria.

Protein translocation across mitochondrial membranes [PDF]
Protein translocation across biological membranes is of fundamental importance for the biogenesis of organelles and in protein secretion. We will give an overview of the recent achievements in the understanding of protein translocation across ...

Computer-aided characteristics of proteins as potential precursors of bioactive peptides
Proteins, apart from their basic functions, may play the role of precursors of the peptides that regulate the body functions and/or show antihypertensive, antithrombotic, antiamnestic, immunomodulating and other activities. Computer analysis of 109
