Distribution, transition and thermodynamic stability of protein conformations in the denaturant-induced unfolding of proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Extensive and intensive studies on the unfolding of proteins require appropriate theoretical model and parameter to clearly illustrate the feature and characteristic of the unfolding system. Over the past several decades, four approaches have

Unfolded Protein Responses With or Without Unfolded Proteins? [PDF]

open access: yesCells, 2012
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of secretory protein biogenesis. The ER quality control (QC) machinery, including chaperones, ensures the correct folding of secretory proteins. Mutant proteins and environmental stresses can overwhelm the available QC machinery.

High Energy Channeling and Malleable Transition States: Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Free Energy Landscapes for the Thermal Unfolding of Protein U1A and 13 Mutants

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
The spliceosome protein U1A is a prototype case of the RNA recognition motif (RRM) ubiquitous in biological systems. The in vitro kinetics of the chemical denaturation of U1A indicate that the unfolding of U1A is a two-state process but takes place via ...

Multi-Step Unfolding and Rearrangement of α-Lactalbumin by SDS Revealed by Stopped-Flow SAXS

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020
Interactions between proteins and surfactants are both of fundamental interest and relevant for applications in food, cosmetics and detergency. The anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) denatures essentially all proteins. Denaturation typically

Disruption of Proteostasis by Natural Products and Synthetic Compounds That Induce Pervasive Unfolding of Proteins: Therapeutic Implications

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2023
Exposure of many cancer cells, including multiple myeloma cells, to cytotoxic concentrations of natural products celastrol and withaferin A or synthetic compounds of the IHSF series resulted in denaturation of a luciferase reporter protein.

Development and Application of a High Throughput Protein Unfolding Kinetic Assay. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The kinetics of folding and unfolding underlie protein stability and quantification of these rates provides important insights into the folding process.

Funneled angle landscapes for helical proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We use crystallographic data for four helical iron proteins (cytochrome c-b₅₆₂, cytochrome c′, sperm whale myoglobin, human cytoglobin) to calculate radial and angular signatures as each unfolds from the native state stepwise though four unfolded states.

Thermal, chemical and pH induced denaturation of a multimeric β-galactosidase reveals multiple unfolding pathways. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: In this case study, we analysed the properties of unfolded states and pathways leading to complete denaturation of a multimeric chick pea β-galactosidase (CpGAL), as obtained from treatment with guanidium hydrochloride, urea, elevated ...

The anatomy of unfolding of Yfh1 is revealed by site-specific fold stability analysis measured by 2D NMR spectroscopy

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry, 2021
Solution NMR provides an information-rich technique to monitor the unfolding process and probe the heterogeneity of protein unfolding. Differences in unfolding dynamics of core and peripheral residues during the cold denaturation of Yfh1 are followed in ...

Same structure, different mechanisms?

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Two interpretations of similar structures for the same molecular machine illustrate the limits of inferring biochemical mechanism from protein structure.
