Motogenic activity of IGD-containing synthetic peptides.
Although the IGD amino acid motif (iso-gly-asp) is a highly conserved feature of the fibronectin type I module, no biological activity has as yet been ascribed to it. We have previously reported that the gelatin-binding domain of fibronectin stimulates the migration of human skin fibroblasts into native, but not denatured, type I collagen substrata. Two IGD-containing type I modules are present...
متن کاملEnzymatic N-glycosylation of synthetic Asn--X--Thr containing peptides.
The role of polyprenol sugar derivatives in the biosynthesis of certain eukaryotic glycoproteins has been partly described [ 11. Recently lipid pyrophospho-oligosaccharides, postulated as necessary intermediates to initiate N-glycosylation, were shown, when supplied to microsomes, to be effective donors to proteinic acceptors presenting at least one vacant Asn-X-zk sequence: unfolded forms of p...
متن کاملTowards structural determination of the ComX pheromone: synthetic studies on peptides containing geranyltryptophan.
Bacteria produce and respond to signal molecules depending on their cell density. This process is called "quorum sensing". The ComX pheromone, controlled by quorum sensing, activates natural genetic competence in Bacillus subtilis. ComX is an oligopeptide with a posttranslational modification. It has been suggested that ComX pheromone is modified with an isoprenoid at its tryptophan residue, bu...
متن کاملInhibitory Effects of Synthetic Peptides Containing Bovine Lactoferrin C-lobe Sequence on Bacterial Growth
Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein with various biological effects, with antibacterial activity being one of the first effects reported. This glycoprotein suppresses bacterial growth through bacteriostatic or bactericidal action. It also stimulates the growth of certain kinds of bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. In this study, Asn-Leu-Asn-Arg was selected and chemically synth...
متن کاملSynthetic Peptides as Protein Mimics
The design and generation of molecules capable of mimicking the binding and/or functional sites of proteins represents a promising strategy for the exploration and modulation of protein function through controlled interference with the underlying molecular interactions. Synthetic peptides have proven an excellent type of molecule for the mimicry of protein sites because such peptides can be gen...
