ASDB: a resource for probing protein functions with small molecules
UNLABELLED : Identifying chemical probes or seeking scaffolds for a specific biological target is important for protein function studies. Therefore, we create the Annotated Scaffold Database (ASDB), a computer-readable and systematic target-annotated scaffold database, to serve such needs. The scaffolds in ASDB were derived from public databases including ChEMBL, DrugBank and TCMSP, with a scaf...
متن کاملEntire functions sharing a small entire function with their difference operators
In this paper, we mainly investigate the uniqueness of the entire function sharing a small entire function with its high difference operators. We obtain one results, which can give a negative answer to an uniqueness question relate to the Bruck conjecture dealt by Liu and Yang. Meanwhile, we also establish a difference analogue of the Bruck conjecture for entire functions of order less than 2, ...
متن کاملGalectin-1 is a novel structural component and a major regulator of h-ras nanoclusters.
The organization of Ras proteins into nanoclusters on the inner plasma membrane is essential for Ras signal transduction, but the mechanisms that drive nanoclustering are unknown. Here we show that epidermal growth factor receptor activation stimulates the formation of H-Ras.GTP-Galectin-1 (Gal-1) complexes on the plasma membrane that are then assembled into transient nanoclusters. Gal-1 is the...
متن کاملGalectin-1(L11A) predicted from a computed galectin-1 farnesyl-binding pocket selectively inhibits Ras-GTP.
Ras biological activity necessitates membrane anchorage that depends on the Ras farnesyl moiety and is strengthened by Ras/galectin-1 interactions. We identified a hydrophobic pocket in galectin-1, analogous to the Cdc42 geranylgeranyl-binding cavity in RhoGDI, possessing homologous isoprenoid-binding residues, including the critical L11, whose RhoGDI L77 homologue changes dramatically on Cdc42...
متن کاملGalectin-3 as a multifunctional protein.
Galectin-3 is a 31 kDa member of a growing family of beta-galactoside-binding animal lectins. This protein is expressed in a variety of tissues and cell types and is mainly found in the cytoplasm, although, depending on cell type and proliferative state, a significant amount of this lectin can also be detected in the nucleus, on the cell surface or in the extracellular environment. Galectin-3 i...
