Structural changes of membrane-anchored native PrP(C).
Misfolding and subsequent aggregation of endogenous proteins constitute essential steps in many human disorders, including Alzheimer and prion diseases. In most prion protein-folding studies, the posttranslational modifications, the lipid anchor in particular, were lacking. Here, we studied a fully posttranslationally modified cellular prion protein, carrying two N-glycosylations and the natura...
متن کاملMembrane-anchored chemokine fusion proteins
Adoptive or active cancer immunotherapy can fail owing to the inefficient recruitment of effector leukocytes to malignant lesions. The intratumoral injection of recombinant proteins comprising a chemokine-derived domain linked to the mucin stalk of chemokine (C-X3-C motif) ligand 1 (CX3CL1) and a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor can specifically enhance the recruitment of effector cell subse...
متن کاملStructural stability and binding properties of soluble and membrane-anchored recombinant antibodies
Antibody engineering and advances in microbial expression systems have enabled production of small, active antibody fragments. However, the functional expression yields of these recombinant antibodies vary widely. The results described in this thesis elucidate factors influencing the expression of stable and active antibody fragments in bacteria. The model antibody used throughout this study wa...
متن کاملProteomic analysis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane proteins.
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) are a functionally and structurally diverse family of post-translationally modified membrane proteins found mostly in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane in a variety of eukaryotic cells. Although the general role of GPI-APs remains unclear, they have attracted attention because they act as enzymes and receptors in cell adhesion, dif...
