متن کاملAlpha-hemoglobin stabilizing protein: molecular function and clinical correlation.
The discovery of alpha-hemoglobin stabilizing protein (AHSP), a chaperone for free alpha-hemoglobin (alpha-Hb), has provided a satisfactory solution to the perplexing problem of balanced globin levels for Hb production in erythroid cells in the face of a two-fold excess of alpha-globin to beta-globin gene dosage. Unmatched alpha-Hb is unstable and precipitates onto membranes, where the released...
متن کاملAlpha-Hemoglobin-Stabilizing Protein: An Erythroid Molecular Chaperone
Alpha-hemoglobin-stabilizing protein (AHSP) is an erythroid-specific protein that acts as a molecular chaperone for the free α chains of hemoglobin. Evidence strongly suggests that AHSP participates in hemoglobin synthesis and may act to neutralize the cytotoxic effects of excess free alpha-globin subunits that accumulate both in normal and beta-thalassemic erythroid precursor cells. As such, A...
متن کاملStabilizing Protein-Protein-Interactions with Multivalent Ligands
Huntington’s disorder (HD) is one of the neurodegenerative disorders in which the polyglutamine (polyQ) tract of the protein huntingtin (htt) is found to be expanded. First exon of this mutant htt protein is found in the inclusions in the brain of the patient suffering from HD, which is the pathological hallmark of the disease1. Exon-1 of htt comprises of 17 amino acid long N-terminal helix (Nt...
متن کاملStabilizing grafted colloids in a polymer melt: favorable enthalpic interactions
The interactions between spherical colloids covered with end-grafted polymers (brushes) immersed in a polymer melt are studied theoretically. We show that attractive enthalpic interactions between the two polymer species, characterized by a negative Flory parameter (chi<0), can stabilize the colloidal dispersion. The stabilizing mechanism is a result of a structural change from a dry brush, whe...
