Proteolytic degradation of IgD and its relation to molecular conformation.
“Spontaneous” degradation of IgD into Fc and Fab fragments frequently occurs during purification and storage. Because proteolysis is the likely mechanism for cleavage of IgD under these conditions, the susceptibility of IgD and other immunoglobulins to digestion with trypsin, plasmin, and papain was analyzed. IgD was much more susceptible to proteolysis than the other immunoglobulins studied. T...
متن کاملGSK3α and GSK3β Phosphorylate Arc and Regulate its Degradation
The selective and neuronal activity-dependent degradation of synaptic proteins appears to be crucial for long-term synaptic plasticity. One such protein is activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc), which regulates the synaptic content of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPAR), excitatory synapse strength and dendritic spine morphology. The levels ...
متن کاملBinding to Ia protects an immunogenic peptide from proteolytic degradation.
A 34 amino acid hen egg-white lysozyme (HEL) peptide was designed and synthesized to investigate if an immunogenic peptide once bound to an Ia molecule becomes proteolytically inaccessible. The determinant recognized by T cells, HEL(52-61) was composed of L-amino acids whereas the 12 amino acid extension on each side of this core were composed of D-epimers. This peptide, HEL(40-73) was resistan...
متن کاملA dehydrin-dehydrin interaction: the case of SK3 from Opuntia streptacantha
Dehydrins belongs to a large group of highly hydrophilic proteins known as Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins. It is well known that dehydrins are intrinsically disordered plant proteins that accumulate during the late stages of embryogenesis and in response to abiotic stresses; however, the molecular mechanisms by which their functions are carried out are still unclear. We have previou...
متن کاملDigestive Proteolytic Activity in the Sunn Pest, Eurygaster integriceps
The Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae), is one of the most important pests of wheat and causes considerable damage to this valuable crop annually. Digestive proteinase activity of adult insects was investigated using general and specific substrates and inhibitors. Proteolytic activity was low when the common conventional substrates, azoalbumin, azocasein and he...
