Mechanisms of Yersinia YopO kinase substrate specificity
Yersinia bacteria cause a range of human diseases, including yersiniosis, Far East scarlet-like fever and the plague. Yersiniae modulate and evade host immune defences through injection of Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into phagocytic cells. One of the Yops, YopO (also known as YpkA) obstructs phagocytosis through disrupting actin filament regulation processes - inhibiting polymerization-promo...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity of protein kinase C inhibitors.
In the August issue of TiPS, Epand and Lester analysed the effect of the physicochemical properties of the membrane on protein kinase C activity. In addition to those substrates discussed that require the presence of Ca2+ and phospholipids, other substrates can be phosphorylated in the absence of these activators. It is possible that this differential substrate requirement could be exploited ph...
متن کامل[The specificity of pigeon brain aceto-cholinesterase].
Earlier work by the author and coworkers (Adams & Whittaker, 1948; Adams, 1949; Whittaker, 1949; Mounter & Whittaker, 1950; Mounter, 1951) has shown that the so-called 'true' or 'specific' cholinesterases of erythrocytes, brain and cobra venom, previously believed to act only on acetylcholine and a few other esters, are in reality capable of hydrolysing a wide range of non-choline esters, 3:3-d...
متن کاملMNADK, a novel liver-enriched mitochondrion-localized NAD kinase
NADP(+) and its reducing equivalent NADPH are essential for counteracting oxidative damage. Mitochondria are the major source of oxidative stress, since the majority of superoxide is generated from the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Because NADP(+) cannot pass through the mitochondrial membrane, NADP(+) generation within mitochondria is critical. However, only a single human NAD kinase (NADK)...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity of Epstein-Barr virus thymidine kinase.
Purified recombinant protein encoded by the BXLF-I open reading frame of the Epstein-Barr virus genome has thymidine kinase activity. The substrate behaviors of various nucleosides toward this enzyme were tested. Halogenated deoxyuridines, zidovudine, and bromovinyldeoxyuridine are efficient substrates, while acyclovir and dihydroxypropylmethylguanine are relatively poor substrates for the Epst...
