Binding of a histidine-rich peptide to Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 cells were incubated with 125I-histidine-rich polypeptide (histatin) 5 in the presence or absence of unlabeled histatin 5, to evaluate the histatin-binding capacity of the cells. The binding of histatin 5 was rapid, reversible, saturable and specific. The number of histatin 5-binding sites per cell was 3,600, and the dissociation constant (Kd) was in the order of 10...
متن کاملBinding Analysis of a Novel Peptide to Plasmodium falciparum Knob-Associated Histidine Rich Protein (KAHRP)
Knob-associated histidine rich protein (KAHRP) is secreted by Plasmodium falciparum in infected red blood cells. This protein is required for the production of surface protrusions called knobs, which have been shown to be crucial for the adherence of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes (Pf -IRBC) to the endothelia of small blood vessels. KP-AP, a 10-amino acid (AA) peptide (FITRANDTSK), binds s...
متن کاملIn vitro Delivery of HIV-1 Nef Antigen by Histidine-rich nona-arginine and Latarcin 1 peptide
Introduction: The Nef accessory protein is an attractive antigenic candidate in the development of HIV-1 DNA- or protein-based vaccines. The most crucial disadvantage of DNA and protein-based vaccines is their low immunogenicity, which can be improved by cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) as effective carrier molecules. Methods: In this study, the HIV-1 Nef protein was generated in the Escherichi...
متن کاملRegulation of myocardial function by histidine-rich, calcium-binding protein.
Impaired sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca release has been suggested to contribute to the depressed cardiac function in heart failure. The release of Ca from the SR may be regulated by the ryanodine receptor, triadin, junctin, calsequestrin, and a histidine-rich, Ca-binding protein (HRC). We observed that the levels of HRC were reduced in animal models and human heart failure. To gain insight int...
متن کاملMetal binding by citrus dehydrin with histidine-rich domains.
Dehydrins are hydrophilic proteins that are responsive to osmotic stress, such as drought, cold, and salinity in plants. Although they have been hypothesized to stabilize macromolecules in stressed cells, their functions are not fully understood. Citrus dehydrin, which accumulates mainly in response to cold stress, enhances cold tolerance in transgenic tobacco by reducing lipid peroxidation. It...
