Crystal structure of human interferon-λ1 in complex with its high-affinity receptor interferon-λR1.
Interferon (IFN)-λ1 [also known as interleukin (IL)-29] belongs to the recently discovered group of type III IFNs. All type III IFNs initiate signaling processes through formation of specific heterodimeric receptor complexes consisting of IFN-λR1 and IL-10R2. We have determined the structure of human IFN-λ1 complexed with human IFN-λR1, a receptor unique to type III IFNs. The overall structure ...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of Human Liver
AKR1D1 (steroid 5 -reductase) reduces all 4-3-ketosteroids to form 5 -dihydrosteroids, a first step in the clearance of steroid hormonesandanessential step in thesynthesisofallbileacids.The reduction of the carbon–carbon double bond in an , -unsaturated ketone by 5 -reductase is a unique reaction in steroid enzymology because hydride transfer from NADPH to the -face of a 4-3-ketosteroid yields ...
متن کاملCrystal structure of human fibrinogen.
A crystal structure of human fibrinogen has been determined at approximately 3.3 A resolution. The protein was purified from human blood plasma, first by a cold ethanol precipitation procedure and then by stepwise chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. A product was obtained that was homogeneous on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. Nonetheless, when individual crystals used for X-ray diffraction were examine...
متن کاملCrystal structure of human transgelin.
Transgelin (TAGLN), also known as smooth muscle protein 22 (SM22), is a highly conserved protein found in smooth muscle tissues of adult vertebrates. Abolition of transgelin gene expression by the oncogenic Ras may be an important early event in tumor progression and a diagnostic marker for breast and colon cancer development. Transgelin contains a single calponin homology (CH) domain. However,...
متن کاملCrystal structure of human frataxin.
Friedreich's ataxia, an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive gait and limb ataxia, cardiomyopathy, and diabetes mellitus, is caused by decreased frataxin production or function. The structure of human frataxin, which we have determined at 1.8-A resolution, reveals a novel protein fold. A five-stranded, antiparallel beta sheet provides a flat platform, whic...
