Limited proteolysis of surfactant protein D causes a loss of its calcium-dependent lectin functions

Limited proteolysis of protein kinase C subspecies by calcium-dependent neutral protease (calpain).

Limited proteolysis of three distinct subspecies of protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme, PKC), types I (gamma), II (beta I and beta II), and III (alpha), with Ca2+-dependent neutral proteases I and II (calpains I and II) was studied. All forms of PKC (82 kDa) were converted to two major fragments: a 45-49-kDa catalytic fragment and a 36-kDa regulatory fragment. The cleavage of ...

a contrastive study of rhetorical functions of citation in iranian and international elt scopus journals

writing an academic article requires the researchers to provide support for their works by learning how to cite the works of others. various studies regarding the analysis of citation in m.a theses have been done, while little work has been done on comparison of citations among elt scopus journal articles, and so the dearth of research in this area demands for further investigation into citatio...

transference of imagery: a comparative formalistic study of shakespeares hamlet and its two persian translations

هدف از این تحقیق بررسی انتقال صور خیال هملت در دو ترجمه ی فارسی آن از نظر فرمالیستی بود. برای بدست آوردن داده-های مورد نیاز، 130 نمونه استعاره، مجاز، ایهام، کنایه و پارادوکس در متن اصلی مشخص شده و سپس بر اساس مدل نیومارک (1998) برای ترجمه ی استعاره یا بطور کلی زبان مجاز با معادل های فارسی شان مقایسه گردیدند. این تحقیق بر آن بود تا روش های استفاده شده برای ترجمه هر کدام از انواع زبان مجاز ذکر شد...

Probing Conformational Feature of a Recombinant Pyruvate Kinase by Limited Proteolysis

Pyruvate kinase is a key enzyme in glycolytic pathway that catalyzes the transphosphorylation between phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to yield ATP and Pyruvate. Geobacillus stearothermophillus has a stable pyruvate kinase with determined crystal structure that composed of four separate domains. Given that limited proteolysis experiments can be successfully used to probe conformational features of p...
