Cross-talk unfolded: MARCKS proteins.
The proteins of the MARCKS (myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate) family were first identified as prominent substrates of protein kinase C (PKC). Since then, these proteins have been implicated in the regulation of brain development and postnatal survival, cellular migration and adhesion, as well as endo-, exo- and phago-cytosis, and neurosecretion. The effector domain of MARCKS protei...
متن کاملNatively unfolded proteins.
It is now clear that a significant fraction of eukaryotic genomes encode proteins with substantial regions of disordered structure. In spite of the lack of structure, these proteins nevertheless are functional; many are involved in critical steps of the cell cycle and regulatory processes. In general, intrinsically disordered proteins interact with a target ligand (often DNA) and undergo a stru...
متن کاملCross-talk between bone morphogenetic proteins and inflammatory pathways
Pro-inflammatory cytokines and bone morphogenetic proteins are generally studied separately and considered to be elements of different worlds, immunology and developmental biology. Varas and colleagues report that these factors show cross-talk in rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes. They show that pro-inflammatory cytokines not only stimulate the production of bone morphogenetic proteins but that...
متن کاملTitle: Cross-talk between Bone Morphogenic Proteins and Estrogen Receptor Signaling Abbreviated title: Cross-talk between BMPs and ER
Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) play central roles in differentiation, development, and physiologic tissue remodeling. Estrogens have key roles in variety of biological events, such as the development and maintenance of numerous target tissues. Previous studies demonstrated that estrogens suppress BMP functions by repressing BMP gene expression. Here we present a novel mechanism for the inhibi...
متن کاملConformational Properties of Unfolded Proteins
The protein folding reaction, U(nfolded)TN(ative), is a reversible disorderT order transition. Proteins are disordered (U) at high temperature, high pressure, extremes of pH, or in the presence of denaturing solvents; but they fold to uniquely ordered, biologically relevant conformers (N) under physiological conditions. This folding transition is highly cooperative such that individual molecule...
