Filoviruses utilize glycosaminoglycans for their attachment to target cells.
Filoviruses are the cause of severe hemorrhagic fever in human and nonhuman primates. The envelope glycoprotein (GP), responsible for both receptor binding and fusion of the virus envelope with the host cell membrane, has been demonstrated to interact with multiple molecules in order to enhance entry into host cells. Here we have demonstrated that filoviruses utilize glycosaminoglycans, and mor...
متن کاملThe fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolases: same reaction, different enzymes.
Two forms of the enzyme fructoseI ,6-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4. I .2.13) are known, designated class I and class 11. The enzymes o f class I function by imine formation between the substrate and a catalytically essential lysine residue in the active site, which acts to stabilize the intermediate carbanion (for review, see [ I , 21). The enzymes of class I1 utilize a divalent metal ion to act ...
متن کاملLocking GTPases covalently in their functional states
GTPases act as key regulators of many cellular processes by switching between active (GTP-bound) and inactive (GDP-bound) states. In many cases, understanding their mode of action has been aided by artificially stabilizing one of these states either by designing mutant proteins or by complexation with non-hydrolysable GTP analogues. Because of inherent disadvantages in these approaches, we have...
متن کاملDiverse oligomeric states of CEACAM IgV domains.
Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules (CEACAMs) comprise a large family of cell surface adhesion molecules that bind to themselves and other family members to carry out numerous cellular functions, including proliferation, signaling, differentiation, tumor suppression, and survival. They also play diverse and significant roles in immunity and infection. The formation of CEACA...
متن کاملThermodynamic competition between membrane protein oligomeric states
Self-assembly of protein monomers into distinct membrane protein oligomers provides a general mechanism for diversity in the molecular architectures, and resulting biological functions, of membrane proteins. We develop a general physical framework describing the thermodynamic competition between different oligomeric states of membrane proteins. Using the mechanosensitive channel of large conduc...
