Crystal Structure of a β-Catenin/Tcf Complex
phosphorylated b-catenin and targets it for degradation The Wnt signaling pathway plays critical roles in emby the proteosome. Active Wnt signaling inhibits the bryonic development and tumorigenesis. Stimulation phosphorylation of b-catenin by GSK-3b by a mostly of the Wnt pathway results in the accumulation of a unknown mechanism, thus preventing the degradation nuclear b-catenin/Tcf complex, ...
متن کاملCrystal structure of a dimeric β-diketiminate magnesium complex
The solid-state structure of a dimeric β-diketiminate magnesium(II) complex is discussed. The compound, di-μ-iodido-bis-[(-{4-amino-1,5-bis-[2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)phen-yl]pent-3-en-2-yl-idene}aza-nido-κ2N,N')magnesium(II)] toluene sesquisolvate, [Mg2(C29H41N2)2I2]·1.5C7H8, crystallizes as two independent mol-ecules, each with 2/m crystallographic site symmetry, located at Wyckoff sites 2c and 2d...
متن کاملTherapeutic Potential of Intracerebroventricular Replacement of Modified Human β-Hexosaminidase B for GM2 Gangliosidosis
To develop a novel enzyme replacement therapy for neurodegenerative Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) and Sandhoff disease (SD), which are caused by deficiency of β-hexosaminidase (Hex) A, we designed a genetically engineered HEXB encoding the chimeric human β-subunit containing partial amino acid sequence of the α-subunit by structure-based homology modeling. We succeeded in producing the modified HexB ...
متن کاملThe X-ray crystal structure of human beta-hexosaminidase B provides new insights into Sandhoff disease.
Human lysosomal beta-hexosaminidases are dimeric enzymes composed of alpha and beta-chains, encoded by the genes HEXA and HEXB. They occur in three isoforms, the homodimeric hexosaminidases B (betabeta) and S (alphaalpha), and the heterodimeric hexosaminidase A (alphabeta), where dimerization is required for catalytic activity. Allelic variations in the HEXA and HEXB genes cause the fatal inbor...
متن کاملCrystal structure of β-barrel assembly machinery BamCD protein complex.
The β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex of Escherichia coli is a multiprotein machine that catalyzes the essential process of assembling outer membrane proteins. The BAM complex consists of five proteins: one membrane protein, BamA, and four lipoproteins, BamB, BamC, BamD, and BamE. Here, we report the first crystal structure of a Bam lipoprotein complex: the essential lipoprotein BamD in...
