Recombinant glutathione S-transferase/CD36 fusion proteins define an oxidized low density lipoprotein-binding domain.
CD36 is a multifunctional cell-surface receptor that binds adhesion molecules such as thrombospondin-1 and collagen and modified lipids and/or lipoproteins. It participates in cellular uptake of photoreceptor outer segments and scavenging of apoptotic cells and oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL). Recognition and internalization of Ox-LDL by mononuclear phagocytes may play an important ro...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of platelet macroaggregate formation by a recombinant heparin-binding domain of human thrombospondin.
Thrombospondin (TSP) is a platelet alpha-granule adhesive protein that plays a critical role in the stabilization of thrombus by promoting the formation of platelet macroaggregates. We have recently shown that a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to the NH2-terminal heparin-binding domain of TSP, MAII, inhibits platelet aggregation induced by thrombin in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, we have e...
متن کاملImmunogenic and Protective Potentials of Recombinant Receptor Binding Domain and a C-Terminal Fragment of Clostridium botulinum Neurotoxin Type E
Clostridium Botulinum Type E neurotoxin heavy chain consists of two domains: the translocation domain asthe N-terminal half and the binding domain as the Cterminal half (Hc). One effective way to neutralize botulinum neurotoxin is to inhibit binding of this toxin to neuromuscular synapses with antibodies against binding domain. Two synthetic genes, coding for Hc (the full length binding d...
متن کاملStaphylokinase as a plasminogen activator component in recombinant fusion proteins.
The plasminogen activator staphylokinase (SAK) is a promising thrombolytic agent for treatment of myocardial infarction. It can specifically stimulate the thrombolysis of both erythrocyte-rich and platelet-rich clots. However, SAK lacks fibrin-binding and thrombin inhibitor activities, two functions which would supplement and potentially improve its thrombolytic potency. Creating a recombinant ...
متن کاملMicropatterning proteins on polyhydroxyalkanoate substrates by using the substrate binding domain as a fusion partner.
A novel strategy for micropatterning proteins on the surface of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymer by microcontact printing (microCP) is described. The substrate binding domain (SBD) of the Pseudomonas stutzeri PHA depolymerase was used as a fusion partner for specifically immobilizing proteins on PHA substrate. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and red fluorescent protein (RFP) fuse...
