Protein folding in the plant cell.
Whole-genome sequencing projects have drastically changed the landscape of biological research. The lexicon of contemporary biology contains a plethora of new terms, including: genomics, research pertaining to the genome; proteomics, description of the protein complement of an organism; and bioinformatics, the collection and interpretation of biological information (primarily nucleic acid and a...
متن کاملProtein Folding in the Cell
In vitro refolding studies are considered as a good model to understand the mechanism by which polypeptide chain acquires unique three dimensional structure in the cell. However, the intracellular environment is highly crowded containing about 300-400 mg/ml of macromolecules. These conditions would promote improper associations among protein molecules leading to aggregation. This eventually led...
متن کاملOxidative Protein-Folding Systems in Plant Cells
PLANTS ARE UNIQUE AMONG EUKARYOTES IN HAVING EVOLVED ORGANELLES the protein storage vacuole, protein body, and chloroplast. Disulfide transfer pathways that function in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and chloroplasts of plants play critical roles in the development of protein storage organelles and the biogenesis of chloroplasts, respectively. Disulfide bond formation requires the cooperative f...
متن کاملThe Plant Proteome Folding Project: Structure and Positive Selection in Plant Protein Families
Despite its importance, relatively little is known about the relationship between the structure, function, and evolution of proteins, particularly in land plant species. We have developed a database with predicted protein domains for five plant proteomes (http://pfp.bio.nyu.edu) and used both protein structural fold recognition and de novo Rosetta-based protein structure prediction to predict p...
متن کاملCoupled Protein Diffusion and Folding in the Cell
When a protein unfolds in the cell, its diffusion coefficient is affected by its increased hydrodynamic radius and by interactions of exposed hydrophobic residues with the cytoplasmic matrix, including chaperones. We characterize protein diffusion by photobleaching whole cells at a single point, and imaging the concentration change of fluorescent-labeled protein throughout the cell as a functio...
