متن کاملP20: The Role of Protein Kinases in Memory
When an experience is encrypted into a long-lasting memory, it is believed that specific sets of neurons in the brain of the animal undergo changes including the strengthening of preexisting synapses and the growth and maintenance of new synaptic connections. These activity-dependent synaptic changes appear to require the coordination of a variety of cellular processes in spatially separated ce...
متن کاملMimicking transient activation of protein kinases in living cells.
Physiological stimuli activate protein kinases for finite periods of time, which is critical for specific biological outcomes. Mimicking this transient biological activity of kinases is challenging due to the limitations of existing methods. Here, we report a strategy enabling transient kinase activation in living cells. Using two protein-engineering approaches, we achieve independent control o...
متن کاملIn Silico Assessment of Potential Druggable Pockets on the Surface of α1-Antitrypsin Conformers
The search for druggable pockets on the surface of a protein is often performed on a single conformer, treated as a rigid body. Transient druggable pockets may be missed in this approach. Here, we describe a methodology for systematic in silico analysis of surface clefts across multiple conformers of the metastable protein α(1)-antitrypsin (A1AT). Pathological mutations disturb the conformation...
متن کاملHow transient pockets open on the surface of the MDM2 protein
The inhibition of protein-protein interactions is a promising strategy in anti-cancer therapy. A prominent example is the interaction between MDM2 and the tumor suppressor protein p53 that can be inhibited by small molecules identified in binding essays [1]. The structure-based design of such inhibitors suffers from the lack of welldefined binding pockets [2]. We therefore developed a pocket de...
