Substrate recognition by a sucrose transporting protein.
Protoplasts derived from developing soybean cotyledons were used to study substrate recognition by a sucrose transporting protein in plant membranes. When used as alternate substrate inhibitors of [14C] sucrose influx, five different fructosyl-substituted sucrose derivatives, phenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside, and phenyl-alpha-D-thioglucopyranoside proved to bind effectively to the sucrose carrier...
متن کاملImproved Bayesian Training for Context-Dependent Modeling in Continuous Persian Speech Recognition
Context-dependent modeling is a widely used technique for better phone modeling in continuous speech recognition. While different types of context-dependent models have been used, triphones have been known as the most effective ones. In this paper, a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation approach has been used to estimate the parameters of the untied triphone model set used in data-driven clust...
متن کاملHigher-Order Substrate Recognition of eIF2α by the RNA-Dependent Protein Kinase PKR
In response to binding viral double-stranded RNA byproducts within a cell, the RNA-dependent protein kinase PKR phosphorylates the alpha subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2 on a regulatory site, Ser51. This triggers the general shutdown of protein synthesis and inhibition of viral propagation. To understand the basis for substrate recognition by and the regulation of PKR, we deter...
متن کاملF-box protein substrate recognition
Ubiquitin E3 ligases represent an increasingly diverse group of proteins whose precise biologic role still remains enigmatic. Of the SCF (Skp1-Cullin1-F-box) E3 ligase family, for example, only very few subunits from over 60 family members are well-characterized. The SCF apparatus contains a multi-subunit catalytic core consisting of Skp1, Cullin1 and the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating (Ubc) enzyme a...
متن کاملSequence requirement for peptide recognition by rat brain p21ras protein farnesyltransferase.
We tested 42 tetrapeptides for their ability to bind to the rat brain p21ras protein farnesyltransferase as estimated by their ability to compete with p21Ha-ras in a farnesyltransfer assay. Peptides with the highest affinity had the structure Cys-A1-A2-X, where positions A1 and A2 are occupied by aliphatic amino acids and position X is occupied by a COOH-terminal methionine, serine, or phenylal...
