Imposing specificity by localization: mechanism and evolvability
Cells detect extracellular signals by allostery and then give those signals meaning by 'regulated localization'. We suggest that this formulation applies to many biological processes and is particularly well illustrated by the mechanisms of gene regulation. Analysis of these mechanisms reveals that regulated localization requires simple molecular interactions that are readily used combinatorial...
متن کاملCorrection: Specificity and Evolvability in Eukaryotic Protein Interaction Networks
Progress in uncovering the protein interaction networks of several species has led to questions of what underlying principles might govern their organization. Few studies have tried to determine the impact of protein interaction network evolution on the observed physiological differences between species. Using comparative genomics and structural information, we show here that eukaryotic species...
متن کاملSensitivity and specificity of thallium-technetium subtraction scan in localization of the parathyroid adenoma [Persian]
Thirty one patients with biologic and clinical diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism were submitted to thalium-technetium scan prior to exploration of the neck. Scan findings were compared with the pathologic results. Surgical exploration of the neck showed a parathyroid adenoma in 24 patients, parathyroid carcinoma in one patient, normal parathyroid in another patient and parathyroid hyperplasia in...
متن کاملRobustness and Evolvability of the B Cell Mutator Mechanism
We present a model that considers the maturation of the antibody population following primary antigen presentation as a global optimization problem [TT99]. The trade-off that emerges from our model describes the balance between the safety of mutations that lead to local improvements in affinity and the necessity of the system to undergo global reconfigurations in the antibody’s shape in order t...
متن کاملSerine protease mechanism and specificity.
Almost one-third of all proteases can be classified as serine proteases, named for the nucleophilic Ser residue at the active site. This mechanistic class was originally distinguished by the presence of the AspHis-Ser “charge relay” system or “catalytic triad”.1 The Asp-His-Ser triad can be found in at least four different structural contexts, indicating that this catalytic machinery has evolve...
