Direct Interaction of Avian Cryptochrome 4 with a Cone Specific G-Protein
Background: Night-migratory birds sense the Earth’s magnetic field by an unknown molecular mechanism. Theoretical and experimental evidence support the hypothesis that the light-induced formation of a radical-pair in European robin cryptochrome 4a ...

Allotopic Expression of a Gene Encoding FLAG Tagged-subunit 8 of Yeast Mitochondrial ATP Synthase
Subunit 8 of yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase is a polypeptide of 48 amino acids encoded by the mitochondrial ATP8 gene. A nuclear version of subunit 8 gene has been designed to encode FLAG tagged-subunit 8 fused with a mitochondrial signal peptide.

Determinants of the voltage dependence of G protein modulation within calcium channel β subunits [PDF]
CaVβ subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels contain two conserved domains, a src-homology-3 (SH3) domain and a guanylate kinase-like (GK) domain with an intervening HOOK domain. We have shown in a previous study that, although Gβγ-mediated inhibitory

How to change the oligomeric state of a circular protein assembly: switch from 11-subunit to 12-subunit TRAP suggests a general mechanism. [PDF]
Many critical cellular functions are performed by multisubunit circular protein oligomers whose internal geometry has evolved to meet functional requirements.

Structure of the Saccharolobus solfataricus type III-D CRISPR effector
CRISPR-Cas is a prokaryotic adaptive immune system, classified into six different types, each characterised by a signature protein. Type III systems, classified based on the presence of a Cas10 subunit, are rather diverse multi-subunit assemblies with a ...

Subunit Exchange in Protein Complexes
Over the past 50 years, protein complexes have been studied with techniques such as X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy, generating images which although detailed are static and homogeneous. More recently, limited application of in vivo fluorescence and other techniques has revealed that many complexes previously thought stable and ...

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein beta and gamma subunits form a tightly bound complex that can only be separated by denaturation. Assembly of beta and gamma subunits is a complicated process. The beta 1 and gamma 2 subunits can be synthesized in vitro in rabbit reticulocyte lysate and then assembled into dimers, but beta 1 cannot form beta gamma ...

The Est3 protein is a subunit of yeast telomerase [PDF]
EST1, EST2, EST3 and TLC1 function in a single pathway for telomere replication in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [1] [2], as would be expected if these genes all encode components of the same complex. Est2p, the reverse transcriptase protein subunit, and TLC1, the templating RNA, are subunits of the catalytic core of yeast telomerase [3] [4] [5 ...

Heterotrimeric G proteins composed of Gα, Gβ, and Gγ subunits are vital eukaryotic signaling elements that convey information from ligand-regulated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to cellular effectors.

Interaction between the assembly of the ribosomal subunits: Disruption of 40S ribosomal assembly causes accumulation of extra-ribosomal 60S ribosomal protein uL18/L5. [PDF]
Inhibition of the synthesis of an essential ribosomal protein (r-protein) abrogates the assembly of its cognate subunit, while assembly of the other subunit continues.
