Does the Integrin αA Domain Act as a Ligand for its βA Domain?
rats had the remarkable ability to move the lower pair of incisors independently of one another. But the researchers found subsequently that there was more to the teeth than movement and their anatomical studies began by looking at the cortical responses to touch sensations of anaesthetized animals. Microelectrodes were used to record multiunit neuronal activity at over 1,000 different cortical...
متن کاملStructure of a copper pump suggests a regulatory role for its metal-binding domain.
P-type ATPases play an important role in Cu homeostasis, which provides sufficient Cu for metalloenzyme biosynthesis but prevents oxidative damage of free Cu to the cell. The P(IB) group of P-type ATPases includes ATP-dependent pumps of Cu and other transition metal ions, and it is distinguished from other family members by the presence of N-terminal metal-binding domains (MBD). We have determi...
متن کاملA small molecule transcriptional activation domain.
Artificial transcriptional activators are excellent tools for studying the mechanistic details of transcriptional regulation. Furthermore, as the correlation between a wide range of human diseases and misregulated transcription becomes increasingly evident, such molecules may in the long run serve as the basis for transcription-based therapeutic agents. The greatest challenge in this arena has ...
متن کاملCharacterizing protein domain associations by Small-molecule ligand binding.
BACKGROUND Protein domains are evolutionarily conserved building blocks for protein structure and function, which are conventionally identified based on protein sequence or structure similarity. Small molecule binding domains are of great importance for the recognition of small molecules in biological systems and drug development. Many small molecules, including drugs, have been increasingly id...
متن کاملA small molecule directly inhibits the p53 transactivation domain from binding to replication protein A
Replication protein A (RPA), essential for DNA replication, repair and DNA damage signalling, possesses six ssDNA-binding domains (DBDs), including DBD-F on the N-terminus of the largest subunit, RPA70. This domain functions as a binding site for p53 and other DNA damage and repair proteins that contain amphipathic alpha helical domains. Here, we demonstrate direct binding of both ssDNA and the...
