Immunolocalization of KATP channel subunits in mouse and rat cardiac myocytes and the coronary vasculature. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Electrophysiological data suggest that cardiac KATP channels consist of Kir6.2 and SUR2A subunits, but the distribution of these (and other KATP channel subunits) is poorly defined.

Cloning and Characterization of Protein Prenyltransferase Alpha Subunit in Rice
Protein prenylation plays a crucial role in plant development and stress response. We report the function of prenyltransferase α-subunit in rice. Protein-protein interactions showed that the farnesyl- transferase (OsPFT)/geranylgeranyltransferase-I ...

Amino-terminal cysteine residues of RGS16 are required for palmitoylation and modulation of G(i)- and G(q)-mediated signaling [PDF]
RGS proteins (Regulators of G protein Signaling) are a recently discovered family of proteins that accelerate the GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G protein α subunits of the i, q, and 12 classes.

Structural similarity and classification of protein interaction interfaces. [PDF]
Interactions between proteins play a key role in many cellular processes. Studying protein-protein interactions that share similar interaction interfaces may shed light on their evolution and could be helpful in elucidating the mechanisms behind ...

Visualization of the exocyst complex dynamics at the plasma membrane of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
The exocyst complex, an effector of Rho and Rab GTPases, is believed to function as an exocytotic vesicle tether at the plasma membrane before soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex formation.

Mitochondrial ribosome assembly in Neurospora. Structural analysis of mature and partially assembled ribosomal subunits by equilibrium centrifugation in CsCl gradients [PDF]
In Neurospora, one protein associated with the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit (S-5, Mr 52,000) is synthesized intramitochondrially and is assumed to be encoded by mtDNA.

Picosecond time-resolved fluorescence of phycobiliproteins [PDF]
The α- and β-subunits of C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus were prepared according to revised procedures. Both subunits are isolated as dimers, which can be dissociated into monomers with detergent mixtures.

60S dynamic state of bacterial ribosome is fixed by yeast mitochondrial initiation factor 3 [PDF]
The processes of association and dissociation of ribosomal subunits are of great importance for the protein biosynthesis. The mechanistic details of these processes, however, are not well known.
