New Binding Mode to TNF-Alpha Revealed by Ubiquitin-Based Artificial Binding Protein
A variety of approaches have been employed to generate binding proteins from non-antibody scaffolds. Utilizing a beta-sheet of the human ubiquitin for paratope creation we obtained binding proteins against tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. The bioactive form of this validated pharmacological target protein is a non-covalently linked homo-trimer. This structural feature leads to the observation...
متن کاملSilver Resistance In Acinetobacter baumannii BL54 Occurs Through Binding to a Ag-Binding Protein
The mechanism of plasmid mediated silver (Ag) resistance was investigated in Acinetobacter baumanniiBL54. The intracellular accumulation of Ag in both original strain BL54 and Escherichia coli K12transconjugant containing plasmid pUPI276 began immediately and reached a maximum within 60 minutes.This initial accumulation was followed by net loss of Ag which reached a maximum wi...
متن کاملA novel mode of ubiquitin recognition by the ubiquitin-binding zinc finger domain of WRNIP1.
UNLABELLED The ubiquitin-binding zinc finger (UBZ) is a type of zinc-coordinating β-β-α fold domain found mainly in proteins involved in DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. Here, we report the crystal structure of the UBZ domain of Y-family DNA polymerase (pol) η and the crystal structure of the complex between the UBZ domain of Werner helicase-interacting protein 1 (WRNIP1) and ubiquiti...
متن کاملFasting Reduces the Binding between Sugar and Protein; New Insights into Diabetic Complications
Fasting has numerous biological, physical and mental health advantages or that as some physicians cure their patients by prescribing fasting to them. Fasting protects people from many diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes complications. The main health-promoting effects of fasting are increased production of neurotrophic factors, neuroendocrine activation, hormetic stre...
متن کاملManganese and Iron Binding to Human Transferrin
The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...
