Peptide aptamers: tools to negatively or positively modulate HSPB1(27) function.
Human HSP27 (HSPB1) is a molecular chaperone sensor which, through dynamic changes in its phosphorylation and oligomerization, allows cells to adapt to changes in their physiology and/or mount a protective response to injuries. In pathological conditions, the high level of HSPB1 expression can either be beneficial, such as in diseases characterized by cellular degenerations, or be malignant in ...
متن کاملPeptide aptamers: specific inhibitors of protein function.
In recent years, peptide aptamers have emerged as novel molecular tools that are useful for both basic and applied aspects of molecular medicine. Due to their ability to specifically bind to and inactivate a given target protein at the intracellular level, they provide a new experimental strategy for functional protein analyses, both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, by using peptide aptamers ...
متن کاملPositively and negatively modulating cell adhesion to type I collagen via peptide grafting.
The biophysical interactions between cells and type I collagen are controlled by the level of cell adhesion, which is dictated primarily by the density of ligands on collagen and the density of integrin receptors on cells. The native adhesivity of collagen was modulated by covalently grafting glycine-arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-serine (GRGDS), which includes the bioactive RGD sequence, or gl...
متن کاملDistinct tyrosine autophosphorylation sites negatively and positively modulate neu-mediated transformation.
A number of cytoplasmic signaling molecules are thought to mediate mitogenic signaling from the activated Neu receptor tyrosine kinase through binding specific phosphotyrosine residues located within the intracellular portion of Neu/c-ErbB-2. An activated neu oncogene containing tyrosine-to-phenylalanine substitutions at each of the known autophosphorylation sites was generated and assessed for...
متن کاملUsing peptide aptamers to analyse the proteome
trends in CELL BIOLOGY At the start of the 20th century, the 'rediscovery of Mendel" allowed the consideration of inheritance on a rational, sdentific (albeit abstract) basis. During the period 1 91 0-1920, become known, drugs have come to be perceived as agents that inactivate speCific protein targets. Such pharmacological inhibitors are dominant in that they act on the protein even if it is e...
