FKBP family proteins: immunophilins with versatile biological functions.
Immunophilins consist of a family of highly conserved proteins binding with immunosuppressive drugs such as FK506, rapamycin and cyclosporin A. FK506-binding protein (FKBP) is one of two major immunophilins and most of FKBP family members bind FK506 and show peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) activity. Small size FKBP family members contain only FK506-binding domain, while FKBPs with l...
متن کاملLEA proteins: IDPs with versatile functions in cellular dehydration tolerance.
LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) proteins were originally described almost 30 years ago as accumulating late in plant seed development. They were later found to be induced in vegetative plant tissues under environmental stress conditions and also in desiccation-tolerant micro-organisms and invertebrates. Although they are widely assumed to play crucial roles in cellular dehydration tolerance, ...
متن کاملYap, a novel family of eight bZIP proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae with distinct biological functions.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains eight members of a novel and fungus-specific family of bZIP proteins that is defined by four atypical residues on the DNA-binding surface. Two of these proteins, Yap1 and Yap2, are transcriptional activators involved in pleiotropic drug resistance. Although initially described as AP-1 factors, at least four Yap proteins bind most efficiently to TTACTAA, a seque...
متن کاملBiological functions of multistable proteins.
Multistable proteins are defined as those that have available more than one most stable conformation. This capability requires a reversal of the most stable and metastable designations dependent upon environmental conditions. The concept of multistability is discussed with regard to enzyme maturation, hybrid vigor, metabolic temperature compensation, developmental gradients, membrane transport ...
متن کاملMammalian patatin domain containing proteins: a family with diverse lipolytic activities involved in multiple biological functions.
The human genome expresses nine patatin-like phospholipase domain containing proteins (PNPLA1-9). Members of this family share a protein domain discovered initially in patatin, the most abundant protein of the potato tuber. Patatin is a lipid hydrolase with an unusual folding topology that differs from classical lipases. Mammalian PNPLAs include lipid hydrolases with specificities for diverse s...
