Blotting and band-shifting: techniques for studying protein-protein interactions.
The type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is localized in certain cellular compartments through association with specific A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). A variety of blotting and electrophoresis techniques have been developed to study the protein-protein interactions that occur between the regulatory (R) subunit of PKA and AKAPs. These methods have also been used for a variety of pu...
متن کاملAtypical Protein Phosphatases: Emerging Players in Cellular Signaling
It has generally been considered that protein phosphatases have more diverse catalytic domain structures and mechanisms than protein kinases; however, gene annotation efforts following the human genome project appeared to have completed the whole array of protein phosphatases. Ser/Thr phosphatases are divided into three subfamilies that have different structures from each other, whereas Tyr pho...
متن کاملVoltage sensitive phosphatases: emerging kinship to protein tyrosine phosphatases from structure-function research
The transmembrane protein Ci-VSP from the ascidian Ciona intestinalis was described as first member of a fascinating family of enzymes, the voltage sensitive phosphatases (VSPs). Ci-VSP and its voltage-activated homologs from other species are stimulated by positive membrane potentials and dephosphorylate the head groups of negatively charged phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs). In doing so, VSP...
متن کاملStudying Protein Folding Using Motion Planning Techniques
The goal of this project is to use PRM (probabilistic roadmap) methods to study protein folding. Given a goal (native fold) configuration, we are able to construct a roadmap and derive a set of possible paths for the protein to follow. To do so, we model proteins as multi-link treelike robots with many degrees of freedom. Our work concentrates on improving our techniques for studying the potent...
متن کاملTechniques for studying protein trafficking and molecular motors in neurons.
This review focused on techniques that facilitated the visualization of protein trafficking. In the mid-1990s the cloning of GFP allowed fluorescently tagged proteins to be expressed in cells and then visualized in real time. This advance allowed a glimpse, for the first time, of the complex system within cells for distributing proteins. It quickly became apparent, however, that time-lapse sequ...
