Computational Model and Dynamics of Monomeric Full-Length APOBEC3G
APOBEC3G (A3G) is a restriction factor that provides innate immunity against HIV-1 in the absence of viral infectivity factor (Vif) protein. However, structural information about A3G, which can aid in unraveling the mechanisms that govern its interactions and define its antiviral activity, remains unknown. Here, we built a computer model of a full-length A3G using docking approaches and molecul...
متن کاملSolution structure, conformational dynamics, and CD4-induced activation in full-length, glycosylated, monomeric HIV gp120.
The gp120 subunit of the HIV Env glycoprotein is responsible for receptor interactions leading to viral entry and is a primary target for neutralizing antibodies. Most structural studies have focused on the heavily truncated, deglycosylated gp120 core, leaving fundamental aspects of the glycoprotein that are responsible for immune evasion and receptor-induced activation unresolved. Here we inve...
متن کاملMonomeric APOBEC3G is catalytically active and has antiviral activity.
APOBEC3G (APO3G) is a cytidine deaminase that restricts replication of vif-defective human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Like other members of the cellular deaminase family, APO3G has the propensity to form homo-multimers. In the current study, we investigated the functional determinants for multimerization of human APO3G and studied the role of APO3G multimerization for catalytic acti...
متن کاملA combined computational and structural model of the full-length human prolactin receptor.
The prolactin receptor is an archetype member of the class I cytokine receptor family, comprising receptors with fundamental functions in biology as well as key drug targets. Structurally, each of these receptors represent an intriguing diversity, providing an exceptionally challenging target for structural biology. Here, we access the molecular architecture of the monomeric human prolactin rec...
متن کاملFull-length model of the human galectin-4 and insights into dynamics of inter-domain communication
Galectins are proteins involved in diverse cellular contexts due to their capacity to decipher and respond to the information encoded by β-galactoside sugars. In particular, human galectin-4, normally expressed in the healthy gastrointestinal tract, displays differential expression in cancerous tissues and is considered a potential drug target for liver and lung cancer. Galectin-4 is a tandem-r...
