Stereoelectronic effects on polyproline conformation.
The polyproline type II (PPII) helix is a prevalent conformation in both folded and unfolded proteins, and is known to play important roles in a wide variety of biological processes. Polyproline itself can also form a type I (PPI) helix, which has a disparate conformation. Here, we use derivatives of polyproline, (Pro)10, (Hyp)10, (Flp)10, and (flp)10, where Hyp is (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline, Flp...

متن کاملAnalysis of glycan recognition sites of viruses
Currently, viruses such as new swine influenza infect various animals, causing much casualty around the world. Glycans exist on the membrane surface of the virus, allowing it to escape from the immune system of the host. Thus, glycans are key for infecting the host. For example, it is known that glycans containing sialic acid are recognized and bound by the influenza virus in order to infect th...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa 1244 pilin glycosylation: glycan substrate recognition.
The pilin of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1244 is glycosylated with an oligosaccharide that is structurally identical to the O-antigen repeating unit of this organism. Concordantly, the metabolic source of the pilin glycan is the O-antigen biosynthetic pathway. The present study was conducted to investigate glycan substrate recognition in the 1244 pilin glycosylation reaction. Comparative structural ...
متن کاملEnhanced immune recognition of cryptic glycan markers in human tumors.
Abnormal glycosylation is one of the hallmarks of the cancer cell and is associated with tumor invasion and metastasis. The development of tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen (TACA) vaccines has been problematic due to poor immunogenicity. However, when appropriate targets can be identified, passive immunization with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against TACAs has been shown to have a...
