The chloroplast import receptor Toc34 functions as preprotein-regulated GTPase [PDF]

, 2002
Toc34 is a protein of the chloroplast outer envelope membrane that acts as receptor for preproteins containing a transit sequence. The recognition of preproteins by Toc34 is regulated by GTP binding and phosphorylation.

Bacillus thuringiensis Cry4Ba Insecticidal ToxinExploits Leu⁶¹⁵ in Its C-Terminal Domain to Interact with a Target Receptor—Aedes aegypti Membrane-Bound Alkaline Phosphatase

Toxins, 2021
In addition to the receptor-binding domain (DII), the C-terminal domain (DIII) of three-domain Cry insecticidal δ-endotoxins from Bacillus thuringiensis has been implicated in target insect specificity, yet its precise mechanistic role remains unclear ...

Discrimination and Quantification of Glomerular Receptor Subtypes for Atrial Natriuretic Factor (Anf) [PDF]

, 1991
Binding sites for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were determined on isolated rat glomeruli as well as on glomerular membranes. To define optimal conditions, binding of ANF was investigated varying incubation time, temperature and protein concentration ...

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]

, 2009
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Identification of a linear B-cell epitope on the “puff” loop of the Senecavirus A VP2 protein involved in receptor binding

Frontiers in Microbiology
Senecavirus A (SVA) is an important emerging swine pathogen that causes vesicular lesions in swine and acute death in newborn piglets. VP2 plays a significant role in the production of antibodies, which can be used in development of diagnostic tools and ...
