Structure of Ptr ToxA: an RGD-containing host-selective toxin from Pyrenophora tritici-repentis.
Tan spot of wheat (Triticum aestivum), caused by the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, has significant agricultural and economic impact. Ptr ToxA (ToxA), the first discovered proteinaceous host-selective toxin, is produced by certain P. tritici-repentis races and is necessary and sufficient to cause cell death in sensitive wheat cultivars. We present here the high-resolution crystal structur...
متن کاملEnzymic methylation of arginyl residues in -gly-arg-gly- peptides.
N(G)-Methylation of arginine residues in many nucleic-acid-binding proteins are formed post-translationally, catalysed by S-adenosylmethionine:protein-arginine N-methyltransferase in their glycine-rich and arginine-rich motifs. The amino acid sequences of the stimulator of HIV-1 TAR (Tat-responsive element) RNA-binding protein (SRB) and fibronectin also show the presence of the internal -Gly-Ar...
متن کاملA conserved RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) motif in the transferrin receptor is required for binding to transferrin.
The transferrin receptor contains a highly conserved Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence in the C-terminal region where transferrin is thought to bind. RGD sequences are commonly involved in cell adhesion. This sequence is crucial for transferrin binding, suggesting possible evolutionary links between molecules mediating iron uptake and cell adhesion.
متن کاملGly/Gly and Arg/Arg genotype responses to albuterol differed in mild asthma.
M e t h o d s Design: Randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial (Beta-Adrenergic Response by Genotype [BARGE] trial). Allocation: Concealed.* Blinding: Blinded (clinicians and patients).* Follow-up period: 24 weeks.

متن کاملArg-Gly-Asp-dependent occupancy of GPIIb/IIIa by applaggin: evidence for internalization and cycling of a platelet integrin.
Using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy we examined the distribution and cycling of GPIIb/IIIa after binding to applaggin, a high-affinity Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)--containing ligand. Resting, unfixed platelets were incubated with applaggin for 30 minutes at 37 degrees C, and bound applaggin was detected by an affinity-purified rabbit anti-applaggin antibody. Examination of intact cells showed a ...
