Structural and antigenic characteristics of Streptococcus sobrinus glucan binding proteins.
Three purified glucan binding proteins (GBP-2, GBP-3, and GBP-5) from Streptococcus sobrinus 6715 were compared structurally by mass spectroscopy of tryptic fragments and antigenically by Western blot analysis with rat antisera to each GBP or to peptides containing putative glucan binding epitopes of mutans streptococcal glucosyltransferases. Structural and antigenic analyses indicated that GBP...
متن کاملIdentification of Sequence Similarities among Isomerization Hotspots in Crystallin Proteins
The eye lens crystallins represent an ideal target for studying the effects of aging on protein structure. Herein we examine separately the water-soluble (WS) and water-insoluble (WI) crystallin fractions and identify sites of isomerization and epimerization. Both collision-induced dissociation and radical-directed dissociation are needed for detection of these non-mass-shifting post-translatio...
متن کاملLecture 8 : Finding structural similarities among proteins ( I )
Living systems have evolved a duality of information storage and function. Heritable information is stored encoded in DNA sequences, but function is obtained after the encoded information is translated into a polypeptide sequence a copolymer synthesized from the 20 different proteinogenic amino acids and this polypeptide spontaneously folds into a well defined three-dimensional structure. In ge...
متن کاملSection 7.6 - Avidin, Streptavidin, NeutrAvidin and CaptAvidin Biotin-Binding Proteins and Affinity Matrices
The high affinity of avidin for biotin was first exploited in histochemical applications in the mid-1970s.1,2 This egg-white protein and its bacterial counterpart, streptavidin, have since become standard reagents for diverse detection schemes.3,4 In their simplest form, such methods entail applying a biotinylated probe to the sample and then detecting the bound probe with a labeled avidin or s...
متن کاملRelationship between biotin-binding proteins from chicken plasma and egg yolk.
The plasma of laying hens contains a specific biotin-binding protein that appears to be identical with an egg-yolk biotin-binding protein. Both proteins are saturated with biotin and require elevated temperatures to effect the exchange of [14C]biotin for the protein-bound vitamin. The heat-exchange curve in each case is the same and differs sharply from that of avidin, the egg-white biotin-bind...
