Circular proteins in plants: solution structure of a novel macrocyclic trypsin inhibitor from Momordica cochinchinensis.
Much interest has been generated by recent reports on the discovery of circular (i.e. head-to-tail cyclized) proteins in plants. Here we report the three-dimensional structure of one of the newest such circular proteins, MCoTI-II, a novel trypsin inhibitor from Momordica cochinchinensis, a member of the Cucurbitaceae plant family. The structure consists of a small beta-sheet, several turns, and...
متن کاملStructures of naturally occurring circular proteins from bacteria.
Bacteria produce a wide variety of both proteinaceous and nonproteinaceous molecules for defense, mediation of microbial competitions, and signaling purposes. Of the proteinbased molecules, there are examples of large folded polypeptides that are translated conventionally from genes as well as smaller peptides that are assembled nonribosomally by peptide synthetases (41). The latter often conta...
متن کاملComparative Study of Immunological and Structural Properties of Two Recombinant Vaccine Candidates against Botulinum Neurotoxin Type E
Background: Recently, botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT)-derived recombinant proteins have been suggested as potential botulism vaccines. Here, with concentrating on BoNT type E (BoNT/E), we studied two of these binding domain-based recombinant proteins: a multivalent chimer protein, which is composed of BoNT serotypes A, B and E binding subdomains, and a monovalent recombinant protein, which contains...
متن کاملNatural Ribosomally Synthesized Circular Proteins
Over recent years several examples of natural ribosomally synthesized circular proteins from a diverse range of organisms have been discovered. They are special molecules, whose precursors must be posttranslationally modified to join the N to C termini with a head-to-tail peptide bond. This feature appears to have a range of potential advantages over their linear counterparts, since they are le...
متن کاملBioinformatics Study of the Effects of Some Phytocompounds Found in Ferulago Angulat, Scrophularia Striata and Laurus Nobilis Medicinal Plants on Inhibition of the Proteins Causing Antibiotic Resistance in Staphylococcus Aureus: A Descriptive Study
Background and Objectives: Currently infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus have increased and raised antibiotic resistant isolates. Therefore, lots of studies have been done to introduce novel anti-S.aureus compounds especially natural originated constitutes. Hence, this study aimed to determine bioinformatics screening of novel inhibitors of antibiotic resistance-associated proteins in...
متن کاملIn vitro study of drug-protein interaction using electronic absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy
In the near future, design of a new generation of drugs targeting proteins will be required. Considering the complex bond between the drug and protein, the structure and stability of the target protein should be considered. So far, a series of in vitro investigations have been conducted with the aim of predicting drug-biological medium interactions. In these studies, use of spectroscopic method...
