Structural determinants of limited proteolysis.
Limited or regulatory proteolysis plays a critical role in many important biological pathways like blood coagulation, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. A better understanding of mechanisms that control this process is required for discovering new proteolytic events and for developing inhibitors with potential therapeutic value. Two features that determine the susceptibility of peptide bonds to...
متن کاملStructural Organization of Mammalian Prions as Probed by Limited Proteolysis
Elucidation of the structure of PrP(Sc) continues to be one major challenge in prion research. The mechanism of propagation of these infectious agents will not be understood until their structure is solved. Given that high resolution techniques such as NMR or X-ray crystallography cannot be used, a number of lower resolution analytical approaches have been attempted. Thus, limited proteolysis h...
متن کاملLimited Proteolysis: DisRUPting Proteasomal Inhibition
The 26S proteasome is a protease complex that completely degrades substrate proteins marked with a chain of ubiquitins, but is also able to perform endoproteolytic cleavage. A new study now demonstrates that regulated ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent processing ameliorates proteasomal inhibition.
متن کاملProbing Conformational Feature of a Recombinant Pyruvate Kinase by Limited Proteolysis
Pyruvate kinase is a key enzyme in glycolytic pathway that catalyzes the transphosphorylation between phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to yield ATP and Pyruvate. Geobacillus stearothermophillus has a stable pyruvate kinase with determined crystal structure that composed of four separate domains. Given that limited proteolysis experiments can be successfully used to probe conformational features of p...
متن کاملLimited in vivo proteolysis of aggregated proteins.
Degradation pathways of insoluble proteins have been analyzed in Escherichia coli by using a N-terminal beta-galactosidase fusion protein (VP1LAC) that aggregates immediately after its synthesis. In recombinant E. coli cells, lower molecular mass products, antigenically related to the entire fusion, accumulate together with the entire fusion. In absence of protein synthesis, the insoluble intac...
