Disulfide-linked high molecular weight protein associated with human cataract.
A major high molecular weight disulfide-linked protein has been isolated from cataractous lenses. It is only present in the water-insoluble protein fractions. This species has not been found in normal lenses of comparable age. Upon reduction of this fraction, polypeptides having molecular weights of approximately 60,000, 43,000, and 20,000 as well as a noncharacterized heterogeneous species are...
متن کاملBovine herpesvirus 1 glycoprotein M forms a disulfide-linked heterodimer with the U(L)49.5 protein.
Nine glycoproteins (gB, gC, gD, gE, gG, gH, gI, gK, and gL) have been identified in bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1). gM has been identified in many other alpha-, beta-, and gammaherpesviruses, in which it appears to play a role in membrane penetration and cell-to-cell fusion. We sought to express BHV-1 open reading frame U(L)10, which encodes gM, and specifically identify the glycoprotein. We corr...
متن کاملHLA-B27 in transgenic rats forms disulfide-linked heavy chain oligomers and multimers that bind to the chaperone BiP.
To test the hypothesis that HLA-B27 predisposes to disease by forming disulfide-linked homodimers, we examined rats transgenic for HLA-B27, mutant Cys(67)Ser HLA-B27, or HLA-B7. In splenic Con A blasts from high transgene copy B27 lines that develop inflammatory disease, the anti-H chain mAb HC10 precipitated four bands of molecular mass 78-105 kDa and additional higher molecular mass material,...
متن کاملDisulfide-linked protein folding pathways.
Determining the mechanism by which proteins attain their native structure is an important but difficult problem in basic biology. The study of protein folding is difficult because it involves the identification and characterization of folding intermediates that are only very transiently present. Disulfide bond formation is thermodynamically linked to protein folding. The availability of thiol t...
متن کاملDisease-associated prion protein oligomers inhibit the 26S proteasome.
The mechanism of cell death in prion disease is unknown but is associated with the production of a misfolded conformer of the prion protein. We report that disease-associated prion protein specifically inhibits the proteolytic beta subunits of the 26S proteasome. Using reporter substrates, fluorogenic peptides, and an activity probe for the beta subunits, this inhibitory effect was demonstrated...
