BINDING OF Fe2+ BY MAMMALIAN FERRITIN
An average of 140 Fe 2 + ions bind to mammalian ferritin that has an average core content of 1876 Fe+ ions per molecule. The Fe2+ ions enter the protein interior and exchange electrons with the core Fe+ ions. A non-homogeneous model for the iron-eontaining core of ferritin is proposed.
متن کاملApplying conserved peptides of NS1 Protein of avian influenza virus to differentiate infected from vaccinated chickens
Avian influenza (AI) is a highly contagious disease in poultry and outbreaks can have dramatic economic and health implications. For effective disease surveillance, rapid and sensitive assays are needed to detect antibodies against AI virus (AIV) proteins. In order to support eradication efforts of avian influenza (AI) infections in poultry, the implementation of “DIVA” vaccination strategies, ...
متن کاملRe-engineering protein interfaces yields copper-inducible ferritin cage assembly.
The ability to chemically control protein-protein interactions would allow the interrogation of dynamic cellular processes and lead to a better understanding and exploitation of self-assembling protein architectures. Here we introduce a new engineering strategy--reverse metal-templated interface redesign (rMeTIR)--that transforms a natural protein-protein interface into one that only engages in...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly in the Ferritin Nano-Cage Protein Superfamily
Protein self-assembly, through specific, high affinity, and geometrically constraining protein-protein interactions, can control and lead to complex cellular nano-structures. Establishing an understanding of the underlying principles that govern protein self-assembly is not only essential to appreciate the fundamental biological functions of these structures, but could also provide a basis for ...
متن کاملIon Channels: From Conductance to Structure
In this perspective I tell the story (albeit a clearly abridged version) of how our knowledge of ion conduction through ion channels has evolved from a purely electrical concept to a structural dynamics view of ions interacting with a membrane protein. Our progress in this field has shown steady growth over the years but has also been interspersed with sudden jumps of discovery. These leaps hav...
