Transsynaptic Modulation of Kainate Receptor Functions by C1q-like Proteins
Postsynaptic kainate-type glutamate receptors (KARs) regulate synaptic network activity through their slow channel kinetics, most prominently at mossy fiber (MF)-CA3 synapses in the hippocampus. Nevertheless, how KARs cluster and function at these synapses has been unclear. Here, we show that C1q-like proteins C1ql2 and C1ql3, produced by MFs, serve as extracellular organizers to recruit functi...
متن کاملSearching for the boundaries: unlimited expansion of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like signals in multiple cellular functions.
The ubiquitin-proteasome field has matured, as is evident from the wide diversity of systems and mechanisms in which it participates and that are the subject of investigation, presented in the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System, Dynamics and Targeting meeting held in Barcelona, co-sponsored by the Biochemical Society, the Spanish Ministry of Science, the Spanish Research Council and the Catalan Academ...
متن کاملSearching for the Native Structures of Proteins
Protein structure prediction is one of the major challenges in bioinformatics today. Throughout the past five decades many different algorithmic approaches have been attempted, and while progress has been made the problem remains unsolvable even for many small proteins. While the general objective is to predict the three-dimensional structure from primary sequence, our current knowledge and com...
متن کاملSearching for the ideal forms of proteins.
A modification of the Structure Alignment Program (SAP), combined with a novel automatic method for the definition of structural elements, correctly identified the core folds of a variety of small beta/alpha proteins when compared with a series of ideal architectures. This approach opens the possibility of not just determining whether one structure is like another, but given a range of ideal fo...
متن کاملExpansion of the receptor-like kinase/Pelle gene family and receptor-like proteins in Arabidopsis.
Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are a family of transmembrane proteins with versatile N-terminal extracellular domains and C-terminal intracellular kinases. They control a wide range of physiological responses in plants and belong to one of the largest gene families in the Arabidopsis genome with more than 600 members. Interestingly, this gene family constitutes 60% of all kinases in Arabidopsis a...
