Using ion channel-forming peptides to quantify protein-ligand interactions.
This paper proposes a method for sensing affinity interactions by triggering disruption of self-assembly of ion channel-forming peptides in planar lipid bilayers. It shows that the binding of a derivative of alamethicin carrying a covalently attached sulfonamide ligand to carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) resulted in the inhibition of ion channel conductance through the bilayer. We propose that the...
متن کاملResearch of the Enzome using Specific Peptides
Acknowledgments I would like to thank my PhD supervisor, Professor David Horn for sharing his incredible insight, uncompromisingly critical vision and commitment in setting our research in the right direction, sometimes into places that I never dreamed. Thanks to Prof. Horn my years of Bioinformatics research in the University of Tel-Aviv have been an experience of a lifetime. I look forward to...
متن کاملDefining desmosomal plakophilin-3 interactions
Plakophilin 3 (PKP3) is a recently described armadillo protein of the desmosomal plaque, which is synthesized in simple and stratified epithelia. We investigated the localization pattern of endogenous and exogenous PKP3 and fragments thereof. The desmosomal binding properties of PKP3 were determined using yeast two-hybrid, coimmunoprecipitation and colocalization experiments. To this end, novel...
متن کاملSnapShot: GPCR-Ligand Interactions
G-protein-coupled receptors enable cells to recognize numerous external stimuli and to transmit corresponding signals across the plasma membrane to trigger appropriate cellular responses. Crystal structures of a number of these receptors have now been determined in inactive and active conformations bound to chemically and functionally distinct ligands. These crystal structures illustrate overal...
متن کاملLigand-receptor Interactions
The formation and dissociation of specific noncovalent interactions between a variety of macromolecules play a crucial role in the function of biological systems. During the last few years, three main lines of research led to a dramatic improvement of our understanding of these important phenomena. First, combination of genetic engineering and X ray cristallography made available a simultaneous...
