Protein-protein interactions are essential to cellular mechanisms at all levels in biologically responsive systems. These interactions occur extracellularly and include ligand-receptor interactions, cell adhesion, antigen recognition, and virus-host recognition. Intracellular protein-protein interactions occur in the formation of multi-protein complexes, during the assembly of cytoskeletal elem...

the effect of levels of nitrogen on growth and nitrogen uptake patterns and grain protein quality of grain sorghum was investigated by two experiments which were conducted at pakdasht-tehran in 2003. in a completely randomized design with three replications, grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) hybrid h-726 was grown under greenhouse conditions using water culture technique. the first ex...

A protein antigenically related to the simian virus (SV 40) A gene product has been purified to near homogeneity from cells infected with the adenovirus-SV 40 hybrid virus Ad2(+)D2 and shown to contain ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) and protein kinase (ATP:phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) activity. Both enzymatic activities copurify with the protein through six stages including one g...

Site-directed mutagenesis and gene replacement procedures were used to construct a mutant strain of Azotobacter vinelandii which expresses a hybrid nitrogenase Fe protein. This hybrid Fe protein has its carboxyl-terminal 18 residues replaced with the 5 analogous residues from the Clostridium pasteurianum Fe protein sequence. The hybrid Fe protein is 13 amino acids smaller than the wild-type A. ...

A hybrid receptor molecule composed of the extracellular ligand-binding domain of the human insulin receptor and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic (protein-tyrosine kinase) domains of the chicken sarcoma virus UR2 transforming protein p68gag-ros has been constructed and expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The hybrid is processed normally into alpha and hybrid beta subunits, is expre...
