متن کاملApolipoprotein L1 Variant Associated with Increased Susceptibility to Trypanosome Infection
UNLABELLED African trypanosomes, except Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, which cause human African trypanosomiasis, are lysed by the human serum protein apolipoprotein L1 (ApoL1). These two subspecies can resist human ApoL1 because they express the serum resistance proteins T. b. gambiense glycoprotein (TgsGP) and serum resistance-associated protein (SRA), respec...
متن کاملA protein family under 'stress' - serpin stability, folding and misfolding.
The native fold of inhibitory serpins (serpin proteinase inhibitors) is metastable and therefore does not represent the most stable conformation that the primary sequence encodes for. The most stable form is adopted when the reactive centre loop (RCL) inserts, as the fourth strand, into the A b -sheet. Currently a serpin can adopt at least four more stable conformations, termed the cleaved, del...
متن کاملMapping fast protein folding with multiple-site fluorescent probes.
Fast protein folding involves complex dynamics in many degrees of freedom, yet microsecond folding experiments provide only low-resolution structural information. We enhance the structural resolution of the five-helix bundle protein λ6-85 by engineering into it three fluorescent tryptophan-tyrosine contact probes. The probes report on distances between three different helix pairs: 1-2, 1-3, and...
متن کاملFolding Variant Narrowing and Optimal Variant Termination
If a set of equations E∪Ax is such that E is confluent, terminating, and coherent modulo Ax, narrowing with E modulo Ax provides a complete E∪Ax-unification algorithm. However, except for the hopelessly inefficient case of full narrowing, nothing seems to be known about effective narrowing strategies in the general modulo case beyond the quite depressing observation that basic narrowing is inco...
