Processing of the fibrillin-1 carboxyl-terminal domain.
To investigate the processing and general properties of the fibrillin-1 carboxyl-terminal domain, three protein expression constructs have been developed as follows: one without the domain, one with the domain, and one with a mutation near the putative proteolytic processing site. The constructs have been expressed in two eukaryotic model systems, baculoviral and CHO-K1. Post-translational modi...
متن کاملRegulation of fibrillin carboxy-terminal furin processing
Fibrillins are large cysteine-rich glycoproteins (~350 kDa) which form the molecular scaffold of a class of beaded microfibrils that are key structural elements of dynamic connective tissues (Kielty and Shuttleworth, 1995). These microfibrils are extensible polymers which act as a structural lattice for elastin deposition during elastic fibre formation (Mecham and Heusar, 1991). Linkage of the ...
متن کاملStructure of the carboxyl-terminal dimerization domain of the HIV-1 capsid protein.
The carboxyl-terminal domain, residues 146 to 231, of the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) capsid protein [CA(146-231)] is required for capsid dimerization and viral assembly. This domain contains a stretch of 20 residues, called the major homology region (MHR), which is conserved across retroviruses and is essential for viral assembly, maturation, and infectivity. The crystal structures ...
متن کاملThe carboxyl-terminal transactivation domain of heat shock factor 1 is negatively regulated and stress responsive.
We have characterized a stress-responsive transcriptional activation domain of mouse heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) by using chimeric GAL4-HSF1 fusion proteins. Fusion of the GAL4 DNA-binding domain to residues 124 to 503 of HSF1 results in a chimeric factor that binds DNA yet lacks any transcriptional activity. Transactivation is acquired upon exposure to heat shock or by deletion of a negative re...
متن کاملRegulation of PTEN activity by its carboxyl-terminal autoinhibitory domain.
The regulation of PTEN intrinsic biochemical properties has not been fully elucidated. In this report, we investigated the role of the PTEN carboxyl-terminal tail domain in regulating its membrane targeting and catalytic functions. Characterization of a panel of PTEN phosphorylation site mutants revealed that mutating Ser-385 to alanine (S385A) promoted membrane localization in vivo and phospha...
