Thermodynamic stability of wild-type and mutant p53 core domain.
Some 50% of human cancers are associated with mutations in the core domain of the tumor suppressor p53. Many mutations are thought just to destabilize the protein. To assess this and the possibility of rescue, we have set up a system to analyze the stability of the core domain and its mutants. The use of differential scanning calorimetry or spectroscopy to measure its melting temperature leads ...
متن کاملThe Lipid-binding Domain of Wild Type and Mutant -Synuclein
-Synuclein ( S) is linked to Parkinson disease through its deposition in an amyloid fibril formwithin Lewy Body deposits, and by the existence of three S point mutations that lead to early onset autosomal dominant Parkinsonism. The normal function of S is thought to be linked to the ability of the protein to bind to the surface of synaptic vesicles. Upon binding to vesicles, S undergoes a struc...
متن کاملMolecular Docking and In Silico Study of Denileukin Diftitox: Comparison of Wild Type With C519S-Mutant
Background: Denileukin diftitox (trade name, Ontak) is the first recombinant immunotoxin (IM), in which the binding domain of diphtheria toxin has been replaced by the amino acid sequence of human interleukin-2 (DT389IL-2) using genetic engineering. Purity, stability, and structural property of the protein are critical factors for the scale-up production of this fusion protein. In this IM, loca...
متن کاملChaperoning of mutant p53 protein by wild-type p53 protein causes hypoxic tumor regression.
Mutant (Mt) p53 abrogates tumor suppression functions of wild-type (WT) p53 through mutant-specific, gain-of-function effects, and patients bearing Mt p53 are chemoresistant. The dominant negative effect of p53 mutants results from their aggregation propensity which causes co-aggregation of WT p53. We explored the mechanism of p53 inactivation in hypoxia and hypothesized whether WT p53 could re...
متن کاملWild-type p53 suppresses growth of human prostate cancer cells containing mutant p53 alleles.
Evidence supporting a broad role for the inactivation of the p53 gene in human tumorigenesis has been provided by studies showing that the p53 gene is mutated in many human cancers. In this study, we report on the mutational status of the p53 gene in prostate cancer cells and provide functional evidence that the wild-type p53 gene may have a role in suppressing prostatic tumorigenesis. Sequence...
