Fishing out proteins that bind to titin
Another giant protein has been detected in cross-striated muscle cells. Given the name obscurin, it was discovered in a yeast two-hybrid screen in which the bait was a small region of titin that is localized near the Z-band. Obscurin is about 720 kD, similar in molecular weight to nebulin, but present at about one tenth the level (Young et al., 2001). Like titin, obscurin contains multiple immu...
متن کاملProteins that bind high-mannose sugars of the HIV envelope.
A broad range of proteins bind high-mannose carbohydrates found on the surface of the envelope protein gp120 of the human immunodeficiency virus and thus interfere with the viral life cycle, providing a potential new way of controlling HIV infection. These proteins interact with the carbohydrate moieties in different ways. A group of them interacts as typical C-type lectins via a Ca2+ ion. Anot...
متن کاملProteins that bind A-type lamins: integrating isolated clues.
What do such diverse molecules as DNA, actin, retinoblastoma protein and protein kinase Calpha all have in common? They and additional partners bind 'A-type' lamins, which form stable filaments in animal cell nuclei. Mutations in A-type lamins cause a bewildering range of tissue-specific diseases, termed 'laminopathies', including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and the devastating Hutchinson...
متن کاملRapid identification of recombinant Fabs that bind to membrane proteins.
Crystallographic studies of membrane proteins have been steadily increasing despite their unique physical properties that hinder crystal formation. Co-crystallization with antibody fragments has emerged as a promising solution to obtain diffraction quality crystals. Antibody binding to the target membrane protein can yield a homogenous population of the protein. Interantibody interactions can a...
متن کاملEngineering proteins that bind, move, make and break DNA.
Recent protein engineering efforts have generated artificial transcription factors that bind new target DNA sequences and enzymes that modify DNA at new target sites. Zinc-finger-based transcription factors are favored targets for design; important technological advances in their construction and numerous biotechnological applications have been reported. Other notable advances include the gener...
