Structure of synaptophysin: a hexameric MARVEL-domain channel protein.
Synaptophysin I (SypI) is an archetypal member of the MARVEL-domain family of integral membrane proteins and one of the first synaptic vesicle proteins to be identified and cloned. Most all MARVEL-domain proteins are involved in membrane apposition and vesicle-trafficking events, but their precise role in these processes is unclear. We have purified mammalian SypI and determined its three-dimen...
متن کاملStructure of hexameric DnaB helicase and its complex with a domain of DnaG primase.
The complex between the DnaB helicase and the DnaG primase unwinds duplex DNA at the eubacterial replication fork and synthesizes the Okazaki RNA primers. The crystal structures of hexameric DnaB and its complex with the helicase binding domain (HBD) of DnaG reveal that within the hexamer the two domains of DnaB pack with strikingly different symmetries to form a distinct two-layered ring struc...
متن کاملThe MARVEL Domain Protein Nce102 Regulates Actin Organization and Invasive Growth of Candida albicans
UNLABELLED Invasive growth of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans into tissues promotes disseminated infections in humans. The plasma membrane is essential for pathogenesis because this important barrier mediates morphogenesis and invasive growth, as well as secretion of virulence factors, cell wall synthesis, nutrient import, and other processes. Previous studies showed that the Sur7 tetraspa...
متن کاملExploring protein domain structure.
The protein databank contains coordinates of over 10,000 protein structures, which constitute more than 25,000 structural domains in total. The investigation of protein structural, functional and evolutionary relationships is fundamental to many important fields in bioinformatics research, and will be crucial in determining the function of the human and other genomes. This review describes the ...
متن کاملSynaptophysin: a marker protein for neuroendocrine cells and neoplasms.
Synaptophysin is an integral membrane glycoprotein (Mr 38,000) that occurs in presynaptic vesicles of neurons and in similar vesicles of the adrenal medulla. By using a monoclonal antibody to this protein (SY38), we have found, by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting, that an identical or similar protein is also expressed in neuroendocrine tumors of neural type, such as pheochromocytomas and...
