Domain discovery method for topological profile searches in protein structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We describe a method for automated domain discovery for topological profile searches in protein structures. The method is used in a system TOPStructure for fast prediction of CATH classification for protein structures (given as PDB files).

A computer system to perform structure comparison using TOPS representations of protein structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We describe the design and implementation of a fast topology–based method for protein structure comparison. The approach uses the TOPS topological representation of protein structure, aligning two structures using a common discovered pattern and ...

ITRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis reveals that VPS35 promotes the expression of MCM2-7 genes in HeLa cells

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Vacuolar protein sorting 35 (VPS35) is a major component of the retromer complex that regulates endosomal trafficking in eukaryotic cells. Recent studies have shown that VPS35 promotes tumor cell proliferation and affects the nuclear accumulation of its ...

Pattern matching and pattern discovery algorithms for protein topologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We describe algorithms for pattern matching and pattern learning in TOPS diagrams (formal descriptions of protein topologies). These problems can be reduced to checking for subgraph isomorphism and finding maximal common subgraphs in a restricted ...

Effects of ER-resident and secreted AGR2 on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and survival in PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2021
Background Anterior gradient-2 (AGR2) is a proto-oncogene involved in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. AGR2, predominantly localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is also a secreted protein detected in the extracellular compartment in multiple ...

Structure of human TRPM8 channel

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
TRPM8 is a non-selective cation channel permeable to both monovalent and divalent cations that is activated by multiple factors, such as temperature, voltage, pressure, and changes in osmolality. It is a therapeutic target for anticancer drug development,

Ion selectivity and rotor coupling of the Vibrio flagellar sodium-driven stator unit

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Bacteria swim using a flagellar motor that is powered by stator units. Vibrio spp. are highly motile bacteria responsible for various human diseases, the polar flagella of which are exclusively driven by sodium-dependent stator units (PomAB).

Crystal Structures of [Fe]-Hydrogenase from Methanolacinia paynteri Suggest a Path of the FeGP-Cofactor Incorporation Process

open access: yesInorganics, 2020
[Fe]-hydrogenase (Hmd) catalyzes the reversible heterolytic cleavage of H2, and hydride transfer to methenyl-tetrahydromethanopterin (methenyl-H4MPT+).
