Six-helix bundle assembly and characterization of heptad repeat regions from the F protein of Newcastle disease virus

Mutations in the fusion peptide and heptad repeat regions of the Newcastle disease virus fusion protein block fusion.

Nonconservative mutations were introduced by site-specific mutagenesis into the fusion peptide and the adjacent heptad repeat region of the fusion protein of Newcastle disease virus in order to determine the role of both regions in the fusion activity of the protein. Mutations in both regions that allowed for proper folding and intracellular transport of the protein blocked the fusion activity ...

Cloning & Expression of F Protein Gene (HR1 region) of Newcastle Disease Virus NR43 Isolate from Iran in E.coli

Background and Aims: NDV (Newcastle Disease Virus) is one of the viruses that cause disease in avian with severe economic losses in the poultry industry in many countries. Fusion protein (F) which plays a major role in the virus pathogenicity contains several regions that have a role in the fusion process. Mutation in the sequence of HR1 & HR2 regions of this protein prevents fusion of the viru...

Mutations in the fusion peptide and adjacent heptad repeat inhibit folding or activity of the Newcastle disease virus fusion protein.

Paramyxovirus fusion proteins have two heptad repeat domains, HR1 and HR2, which have been implicated in the fusion activity of the protein. Peptides with sequences from these two domains form a six-stranded coiled coil, with the HR1 sequences forming a central trimer (K. A. Baker, R. E. Dutch, R. A. Lamb, and T. S. Jardetzky, Mol. Cell 3:309-319, 1999; X. Zhao, M. Singh, V. N. Malashkevich, an...

the role of russia in transmission of energy from central asia and caucuses to european union

پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...
