Structure of a genetically engineered molecular motor.
Molecular motors move unidirectionally along polymer tracks, producing movement and force in an ATP-dependent fashion. They achieve this by amplifying small conformational changes in the nucleotide-binding region into force-generating movements of larger protein domains. We present the 2.8 A resolution crystal structure of an artificial actin-based motor. By combining the catalytic domain of my...
متن کاملGenetically engineered gold-binding polypeptides: structure prediction and molecular dynamics.
The biological control of inorganic crystal formation, morphology, and assembly is of interest to biologists and biotechnologists studying hard tissue growth and regeneration, as well as to materials scientists using biomimetic approaches for the control of inorganic material fabrication and assembly. Biomimetics requires an accurate understanding of natural mechanisms at the molecular level. S...
متن کاملStructure Modeling Using Genetically Engineered Crosslinking
Class B G-protein-coupled receptors are exciting drug targets, yet the structure of a complete receptor bound to a peptide agonist has remained elusive. Coin et al. present a model of the receptor CRF1R bound to its native ligand based on partial structures and 44 spatial constraints revealed by new crosslinking approaches.
متن کاملA molecular sensor system based on genetically engineered alkaline phosphatase.
Binding and signaling proteins based on Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase (AP; EC 3.1.3.1) were designed for the detection of antibodies. Hybrid proteins were constructed by using wild-type AP and point mutants of AP [Asp-101 --> Ser (D101S) and Asp-153 --> Gly (D153G)]. The binding function of the hybrid proteins is provided by a peptide epitope inserted between amino acids 407 and 408 in ...
متن کاملGenetically Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stably Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein
Objective(s) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are ideal targets in cell transplantation and tissue engineering. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) has been an important reporter gene for gene therapy. The aim of this stu...
