different expression systems for production of hcv structural proteins
hepatitis c virus (hcv) is an important agent causing chronic liver infection, which often leads to liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). at present, there is no effective hcv vaccine for prevention of hepatic disease and the standard treatment is neither economical nor fully effective in all the patients. however, vaccination based on structural and nonstructural proteins ...
متن کاملStrategies for the purification of membrane proteins.
Although membrane proteins account for 20-30% of the coding regions of all sequenced genomes and play crucial roles in many fundamental cell processes, there are relatively few membranes proteins with known 3D structure. This is likely due to technical challenges associated with membrane protein extraction, solubilisation, and purification. Membrane proteins are classified based on the level of...
متن کاملStructural investigations of the RNA-binding properties of STAR proteins.
STAR (signal transduction and activation of RNA) proteins are a family of RNA-binding proteins that regulate post-transcriptional gene regulation events at various levels, such as pre-mRNA alternative splicing, RNA export, translation and stability. Most of these proteins are regulated by signalling pathways through post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation and arginine methylat...
متن کاملStructural bioinformatics prediction of membrane-binding proteins.
Membrane-binding peripheral proteins play important roles in many biological processes, including cell signaling and membrane trafficking. Unlike integral membrane proteins, these proteins bind the membrane mostly in a reversible manner. Since peripheral proteins do not have canonical transmembrane segments, it is difficult to identify them from their amino acid sequences. As a first step towar...
متن کاملStructural prediction of membrane-bound proteins.
A prediction algorithm based on physical characteristics of the twenty amino acids and refined by comparison to the proposed bacteriorhodopsin structure was devised to delineate likely membrane-buried regions in the primary sequences of proteins known to interact with the lipid bilayer. Application of the method to the sequence of the carboxyl terminal one-third of bovine rhodopsin predicted a ...
