ESTHER, the database of the /?hydrolase fold superfamily of proteins
The structural / -hydrolase fold is characterized by a -sheet core of five to eight strands connected by -helices to form a / / sandwich. The superfamily members, exemplified by the cholinesterases, diverged from a common ancestor into a number of hydrolytic enzymes displaying a wide range of substrate specificities, along with proteins with no recognized hydrolytic activity. In the enzymes, th...
متن کاملStructural classification of thioredoxin-like fold proteins.
Protein structure classification is necessary to comprehend the rapidly growing structural data for better understanding of protein evolution and sequence-structure-function relationships. Thioredoxins are important proteins that ubiquitously regulate cellular redox status and various other crucial functions. We define the thioredoxin-like fold using the structure consensus of thioredoxin homol...
متن کاملSmall proteins fold through transition states with native-like topologies.
The folding pathway of common-type acyl phosphatase (ctAcP) is characterized using psi-analysis, which identifies specific chain-chain contacts using bi-histidine (biHis) metal-ion binding sites. In the transition state ensemble (TSE), the majority of the protein is structured with a near-native topology, only lacking one beta-strand and an alpha-helix. psi-Values are zero or unity for all site...
متن کاملCongenital disorders associated with platelet dysfunctions.
Genetic defects of the megakaryocyte lineage give rise to bleeding syndromes of varying severity. Blood platelets are unable to fulfill their hemostatic function of preventing blood loss on vessel injury. Spontaneous bleeding is mostly mucocutaneous in nature. Most studied are deficiencies of glycoprotein (GP) mediators of adhesion (Bernard-Soulier syndrome) and aggregation (Glanzmann thrombast...
متن کاملThe iodothyronine selenodeiodinases are thioredoxin-fold family proteins containing a glycoside hydrolase clan GH-A-like structure.
The three iodothyronine selenodeiodinases catalyze the initiation and termination of thyroid hormone effects in vertebrates. Structural analyses of these proteins have been hindered by their integral membrane nature and the inefficient eukaryotic-specific pathway for selenoprotein synthesis. Hydrophobic cluster analysis used in combination with Position-specific Iterated BLAST reveals that thei...
