#G) Mutation on Amyloid #-Protein Folding: Discrete Molecular Dynamics Study
The 40–42 residue amyloid -protein (A ) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Of the two main alloforms, A 40 and A 42, the longer A 42 is linked particularly strongly to AD. Despite the relatively small two amino acid length difference in primary structure, in vitro studies demonstrate that A 40 and A 42 oligomerize through distinct pathways. Recently, a discret...
متن کاملG-protein Coupled Receptor Dimerization
A growing body of evidence suggests that GPCRs exist and function as dimers or higher oligomers. The evidence for GPCR dimerization comes from biochemical, biophysical and functional studies. In addition, researchers have shown the occurrence of heterodimerization between different members of the GPCR family. Two receptors can interact with each other to make a dimer through their extracellular...
متن کاملFolding pathway of the b1 domain of protein G explored by multiscale modeling.
The understanding of the folding mechanisms of single-domain proteins is an essential step in the understanding of protein folding in general. Recently, we developed a mesoscopic CA-CB side-chain protein model, which was successfully applied in protein structure prediction, studies of protein thermodynamics, and modeling of protein complexes. In this research, this model is employed in a detail...
متن کاملHierarchy of folding and unfolding events of protein G, CI2, and ACBP from explicit-solvent simulations.
The study of the mechanism which is at the basis of the phenomenon of protein folding requires the knowledge of multiple folding trajectories under biological conditions. Using a biasing molecular-dynamics algorithm based on the physics of the ratchet-and-pawl system, we carry out all-atom, explicit solvent simulations of the sequence of folding events which proteins G, CI2, and ACBP undergo in...
متن کاملG protein antagonists. A novel hydrophobic peptide competes with receptor for G protein binding.
A substance P (SP) analog, [D-Pro4,D-Trp7,9,10] SP4-11, is known to inhibit the actions of various structurally unrelated messenger molecules as well as SP. Our studies on the effects of this peptide on the regulation of purified G proteins by receptor showed that at least some of the biological effects of the peptide can be explained by the ability of the peptide to block the activation of G p...
