A structural view of ligand binding to the retinoid receptors
Nuclear receptors play an important role in transcription regulation. They bind as homoor heterodimers to the response elements of their target genes and interact with numerous and diverse partners, e. g. coactivator and corepressor proteins, and transcription factors. Many of these processes are ligand-dependent, i. e. binding of natural ligands activates the nuclear receptor through conformat...
متن کاملA Structural Model for Binding of the Serine-Rich Repeat Adhesin GspB to Host Carbohydrate Receptors
GspB is a serine-rich repeat (SRR) adhesin of Streptococcus gordonii that mediates binding of this organism to human platelets via its interaction with sialyl-T antigen on the receptor GPIbα. This interaction appears to be a major virulence determinant in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis. To address the mechanism by which GspB recognizes its carbohydrate ligand, we determined the high...
متن کاملManganese and Iron Binding to Human Transferrin
The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...

متن کاملStructural analysis of the mechanism of adenovirus binding to its human cellular receptor, CAR.
Binding of virus particles to specific host cell surface receptors is known to be an obligatory step in infection even though the molecular basis for these interactions is not well characterized. The crystal structure of the adenovirus fiber knob domain in complex with domain I of its human cellular receptor, coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR), is presented here. Surface-exposed loops on k...
