Discovery and characterization of two Nimrod superfamily members in Anopheles gambiae
Anti-bacterial proteins in mosquitoes are known to play an important modulatory role on immune responses to infections with human pathogens including malaria parasites. In this study we characterized two members of the Anopheles gambiae Nimrod superfamily, namely AgNimB2 and AgEater. We confirm that current annotation of the An. gambiae genome incorrectly identifies AgNimB2 and AgEater as a sin...
متن کاملEvolution of genes and repeats in the Nimrod superfamily.
The recently identified Nimrod superfamily is characterized by the presence of a special type of EGF repeat, the NIM repeat, located right after a typical CCXGY/W amino acid motif. On the basis of structural features, nimrod genes can be divided into three types. The proteins encoded by Draper-type genes have an EMI domain at the N-terminal part and only one copy of the NIM motif, followed by a...
متن کاملsynthesis and characterization of some macrocyclic schiff bases
ماکروسیکلهای شیف باز از اهمیت زیادی در شیمی آلی و دارویی برخوردار می باشند. این ماکروسیکلها با دارابودن گروه های مناسب در مکانهای مناسب می توانند فلزاتی مثل مس، نیکل و ... را در حفره های خود به دام انداخته، کمپلکسهای پایدار تولید نمایند. در این پایان نامه ابتدا یک دی آلدئید آروماتیک از گلیسیرین تهیه می شود و در مرحله بعدی واکنش با دی آمینهای آروماتیک و یا آلیفاتیک در رقتهای بسیار زیاد منجر به ت...
15 صفحه اولDiscovery of the PARP Superfamily and Focus on the Lesser Exhibited But Not Lesser Talented Members
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translational modification of proteins in which ADP-ribose units are sequentially transferred from the substrate NAD+ to acceptor proteins on glutamate, aspartate or lysine residues. The enzymes that catalyse this process are commonly called poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases or PARPs. In human, 17 proteins have been gathered in the PARP superfamily, based on their se...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of Tractin and LeechCAM, two Ig-superfamily members involved in regulation of axonal outgrowth of Leech neurons
Tractin is a novel member of the Ig-superfamily which has a highly unusual structure. It contains 6 Ig-domains, 4 FNIII-like domains, an acidic domain, 12 repeats of a novel prolineand glycine-rich motif with sequence similarity to collagen, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular tail with an ankyrin and a PDZ-domain binding motif. By generating domain-specific antibodies we show that Tra...
