Tissue Factor Structure and Function
Tissue factor (TF) is an integral membrane protein that is essential to life. It is a component of the factor VIIa-TF complex enzyme and plays a primary role in both normal hemostasis and thrombosis. With a vascular injury, TF becomes exposed to blood and binds plasma factor VIIa, and the resulting complex initiates a series of enzymatic reactions leading to clot formation and vascular sealing....
متن کاملMultifunctional Roles of Plant Dehydrins in Response to Environmental Stresses
To respond to environmental changes, plants have developed complex mechanisms that allow them to rapidly perceive and respond to abiotic stresses. Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are a large and diverse family that play important roles in environmental stress tolerance in plants. Dehydrins belong to group II LEA proteins, which are considered stress proteins involved in the formation...
متن کاملBoron in Plant Structure and Function.
New and exciting developments in boron research in the past few years greatly contributed to better understanding of the role of boron in plants. Purification and identification of the first boron-polyol transport molecules resolved much of the controversy about boron phloem mobility. Isolation and characterization of the boron-polysaccharide complex from cell walls provided the first direct ev...
متن کاملPlant K+ channels: structure, activity and function.
Introduction In plants as in animals, K+ channel activity is the major determinant of cell membrane conductance [1,2]. Kt channels are therefore involved in central physiological processes such as setting the resting cell membrane potential, transducing signals and shaping action-potential waveforms. In addition, in plant cells, K t channel activity is thought to be involved in long-term fluxes...
متن کاملStructure and function of plant aspartic proteinases.
Aspartic proteinases of the A1 family are widely distributed among plant species and have been purified from a variety of tissues. They are most active at acidic pH, are specifically inhibited by pepstatin A and contain two aspartic residues indispensible for catalytic activity. The three-dimensional structure of two plant aspartic proteinases has been determined, sharing significant structural...
