Potential Protein Post-translational Modification in Adiponectin
Post-translational modifications of proteins control many biological processes. This is also an important process in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. Adiponectin is an insulin-sensitizing adipokine with antidiabetic, anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties. The role of posttranslational modifications in regulating the biosynthesis of high molecular weight adipo...
متن کاملSurfactant protein-D and pulmonary host defense
Surfactant protein-D (SP-D) participates in the innate response to inhaled microorganisms and organic antigens, and contributes to immune and inflammatory regulation within the lung. SP-D is synthesized and secreted by alveolar and bronchiolar epithelial cells, but is also expressed by epithelial cells lining various exocrine ducts and the mucosa of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts...
متن کاملAssembly of tubulin by classic myelin basic protein isoforms and regulation by post-translational modification.
Myelin basic protein (MBP), a highly cationic protein that maintains the structure of the myelin sheath, associates with tubulin in vivo. The in vitro assembly of tubulin by MBP was examined here using several assays. The unmodified C1 component of 18.5 kDa bovine MBP (bC1) assembled tubulin into microtubules in a dose-dependent manner via filamentous intermediates, and was able simultaneously ...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Phosphorylated KID Post-Translational Modification
BACKGROUND Kinase-inducible domain (KID) as transcriptional activator can stimulate target gene expression in signal transduction by associating with KID interacting domain (KIX). NMR spectra suggest that apo-KID is an unstructured protein. After post-translational modification by phosphorylation, KID undergoes a transition from disordered to well folded protein upon binding to KIX. However, th...
متن کاملAllosteric post-translational modification codes.
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been recognized to impact protein function in two ways: (i) orthosterically, via direct recognition by protein domains or through interference with binding; and (ii) allosterically, via conformational changes induced at the functional sites. Because different chemical types of PTMs elicit different structural alterations, the effects of combinatorial...
