Complex formation between RAS and RAF and other protein kinases.
We used a Saccharomyces cerevisiae genetic system to detect the physical interaction of RAS and RAF oncoproteins. We also observed interaction between RAS and byr2, a protein kinase implicated as a mediator of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe ras1 protein. Interaction with RAS required only the N-terminal domains of RAF or byr2 and was disrupted by mutations in either the guanine nucleotide-bindin...
متن کاملAmyloid Formation by Transthyretin: From Protein Stability to Protein Aggregation
In recent years the issues of protein stability, folding and aggregation have become central in several pathological conditions and in particular in amyloid diseases. Here, we review the recent developments on the molecular mechanisms of amyloid formation by transthyretin (TTR), in particular, in what concerns to protein conformational stability, protein folding and
متن کاملTopology-based potentials and the study of the competition between protein folding and aggregation.
Topology-based or Go-type potentials have been shown to be very useful in the understanding of the relations between the structure of the native state of a protein and some of its folding characteristics. A different question is whether they can also make such a contribution when the aggregation process of misfolded or partially folded structures is under study. In this work, in spite of the ob...
متن کاملCompetition between protein folding and aggregation: A three-dimensional lattice-model simulation
Aggregation of protein molecules resulting in the loss of biological activity and the formation of insoluble deposits represents a serious problem for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and in medicine. Considerable experimental and theoretical efforts are being made in order to improve our understanding of, and ability to control, the process. In the present work, we describe a Mo...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of protein amyloids: a competition between amorphous and ordered aggregation.
Protein aggregation in the form of amyloid fibrils has important biological and technological implications. Although the self-assembly process is highly efficient, aggregates not in the fibrillar form would also occur and it is important to include these disordered species when discussing the thermodynamic equilibrium behavior of the system. Here, we initiate such a task by considering a mixtur...
