Photoinduced electron-transfer along alpha-helical and coiled-coil metallopeptides.
A peptide-based electron-transfer system has been designed in which the specific positions of redox-active metal complexes appended to either an alpha-helix, or an alpha-helical coiled-coil, can be reversed to test the effect of the helix dipole in controlling photoinduced electron-transfer rates. Two 30-residue apopeptides were prepared having the following sequences: (I) Ac-K-(IEALEGK)(ICALEG...
متن کاملPlasmodium vivax Antigen Discovery Based on Alpha-Helical Coiled Coil Protein Motif
Protein α-helical coiled coil structures that elicit antibody responses, which block critical functions of medically important microorganisms, represent a means for vaccine development. By using bioinformatics algorithms, a total of 50 antigens with α-helical coiled coil motifs orthologous to Plasmodium falciparum were identified in the P. vivax genome. The peptides identified in silico were ch...
متن کاملA new alpha-helical coiled coil protein encoded by the Salmonella typhimurium virulence plasmid.
A new protein of Salmonella typhimurium was identified and characterized. The gene (tlpA) encoding this protein (TlpA) was isolated from the large virulence-associated plasmid of S. typhimurium and sequenced in order to predict the primary structure of TlpA. tlpA encodes a 371-amino acid soluble protein with a calculated M(r) of 41600 and pI of 4.63. Secondary structure predictions and sequence...
متن کاملThe C-terminal domain of Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 3 self-assembles into alpha-helical coiled coil tetramer.
Proteins located on the surface of the pathogenic malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are objects of intensive studies due to their important role in the invasion of human cells and the accessibility to host antibodies thus making these proteins attractive vaccine candidates. One of these proteins, merozoite surface protein 3 (MSP3) represents a leading component among vaccine candidates; ho...
متن کاملPresence of two distinct regions in the coiled-coil structure of the streptococcal Pep M5 protein: relationship to mammalian coiled-coil proteins and implications to its biological properties.
The complete amino acid sequence of Pep M5, a biologically active 197-residue fragment comprising nearly half of the group A streptococcal M5 protein, has structural features characteristic of an alpha-helical coiled-coil protein. Fourier analyses of the nonpolar residues show strong periodicities based on repeats of 7 residues (7/2 and 7/3). Except for the nonhelical NH2-terminal 12-residue se...
