GPIHBP1 C89F Neomutation and Hydrophobic C-Terminal Domain G175R Mutation in Two Pedigrees with Severe Hyperchylomicronemia

GPIHBP1: two get tangled.

Whole Exome Sequencing Revealed a Novel GJB1 Pathogenic Variant and a Rare BSCL2 Mutation in Two Iranian Large Pedigrees with Multiple Affected Cases of Charcot-Marie-Tooth

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common hereditary neuropathy of the peripheral nervous system with a wide range of severity and age of onset. CMT patients share similar phenotypes which make it often impossible to identify the disease types based on clinical presentation and electrophysiological studies alone. In recent years, novel genetic diagnostic approaches such as whole exom...

The molecular chaperone gp96/GRP94 interacts with Toll-like receptors and integrins via its C-terminal hydrophobic domain.

The structural basis for molecular chaperones to discern misfolded proteins has long been an enigma. As the endoplasmic reticulum paralogue of the cytosolic HSP90, gp96 (GRP94, HSP90b1) is an essential molecular chaperone for Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and integrins. However, little is known about its client-binding domain (CBD). Herein, we provide genetic and biochemical evidence to definitive...

The intrinsically disordered C-terminal domain of the measles virus nucleoprotein interacts with the C-terminal domain of the phosphoprotein via two distinct sites and remains predominantly unfolded.

Measles virus is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus within the Mononegavirales order,which includes several human pathogens, including rabies, Ebola, Nipah, and Hendra viruses. The measles virus nucleoprotein consists of a structured N-terminal domain, and of an intrinsically disordered C-terminal domain, N(TAIL) (aa 401-525), which undergoes induced folding in the presence of the C-te...

The C-terminal hydrophobic domain of hepatitis C virus RNA polymerase NS5B can be replaced with a heterologous domain of poliovirus protein 3A.

Replication of the plus-stranded RNA genome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) occurs in a membrane-bound replication complex consisting of viral and cellular proteins and viral RNA. NS5B, the RNA polymerase of HCV, is anchored to the membranes via a C-terminal 20-amino-acid-long hydrophobic domain, which is flanked on each side by a highly conserved positively charged arginine. Using a genotype 1b sub...
