Hsp90 isoforms: functions, expression and clinical importance.
The 90 kDa heat shock protein, Hsp90, is a main functional component of an important cytoplasmic chaperone complex, and it is involved in various cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Identification of Hsp90 as a molecular target of various anticancer drugs highlighted its importance from the clinical point of view. Here we summarize the current knowledg...
متن کاملThe origin, evolution and structure of the protein world.
Contemporary protein architectures can be regarded as molecular fossils, historical imprints that mark important milestones in the history of life. Whereas sequences change at a considerable pace, higher-order structures are constrained by the energetic landscape of protein folding, the exploration of sequence and structure space, and complex interactions mediated by the proteostasis and proteo...
متن کاملDistribution and functions of kinectin isoforms.
Kinectin is an integral transmembrane protein on the endoplasmic reticulum, binding to kinesin, interacting with Rho GTPase and anchoring the translation elongation factor-1 complex. There has been debate on the specific role(s) of kinectin in different species and cell types. Here we identified 15 novel kinectin isoforms in the mouse nervous system, constituting a family of alternatively splic...
متن کاملExpression and functions of renin isoforms
Renin is an enzyme that catalyzes the rate‐limiting step in the production of angiotensin peptides, and is thus a key regulator of processes controlled by angiotensin such as blood pressure, hydromineral balance, and metabolism. Our laboratory and others have previously identified a novel isoform of renin (icRen) which, as a result of the utilization of an alternate fir...
متن کاملEffective energy functions for protein structure prediction.
Protein structure prediction, fold recognition, homology modeling and design rely mainly on statistical effective energy functions. Although the theoretical foundation of such functions is not clear, their usefulness has been demonstrated in many applications. Molecular mechanics force fields, particularly when augmented by implicit solvation models, provide physical effective energy functions ...
