Phospholipid Binding Protein
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calcium and phospholipid binding proteins have been identified and localized by immunocytochemistry in a wide range of cells and tissues. Two of these proteins (calpactins) also bind F-actin and are substrates for tyrosine kinases. The similar membrane-binding properties of these molecules arise from conserved amino acid sequences and a model is proposed for the tertiary structure of a common calcium and phospholipid binding domain.

Differential binding of antiphospholipid autoantibody in normal and autoimmune sera to prothrombin/phospholipid antigen complex.
Oosting et al's' recent report on various phospholipid/protein antigen complexes (involving prothrombin, protein S, or protein C) recognized by antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) has set the stage for other aPL investigators to redefine and evaluate the binding specificity of aPL. The nature of the neoepitopes induced by protein/phospholipid interactions is still unresolved. Firstly, the antigen...
متن کاملMembrane attack complex of complement: generation of high-affinity phospholipid binding sites by fusion of five hydrophilic plasma proteins.
The molecular basis of the membranolytic activity of the membrane attack complex (MAC) of complement was investigated. By using density gradient equilibrium ultracentrifugation, the binding of egg yolk lecithin to the isolated MAC and to its intermediate complexes and precursor proteins was measured. No stable phospholipid--protein complexes were formed with the MAC precursor components C5b--6,...
متن کاملThe interaction of liver fatty-acid-binding protein (FABP) with anionic phospholipid vesicles: is there extended phospholipid anchorage under these conditions?
Liver FABP (fatty-acid-binding protein) binds a variety of non-polar anionic ligands including fatty acids, fatty acyl CoAs, lysophospholipids and bile acids. Liver FABP is also able to bind to anionic phospholipid vesicles under conditions of low ionic strength, and membrane binding results in the release of bound ligand. However, the molecular interactions involved in binding to the phospholi...
متن کاملPhospholipid binding properties of human placental anticoagulant protein-I, a member of the lipocortin family.
Human placental anticoagulant protein-I (PAP-I) is a member of the lipocortin/calpactin/annexin family of Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding proteins. PAP-I was labeled with fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate (1 mol/mol); this derivative had anticoagulant activity identical to the unlabeled protein and could be used to measure Ca2+-dependent binding to phospholipid vesicles through changes in fluore...
متن کاملBinding of human factor VIII to phospholipid vesicles.
Factor VIII, a protein cofactor involved in blood coagulation, functions in vitro on a phospholipid membrane surface to greatly increase the rate of factor X activation by factor IXa. Using gel filtration, rapid sedimentation, and resonance energy transfer we have studied the interaction of recombinant-derived human factor VIII with small and large unilamellar phospholipid vesicles composed of ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamic study of MlaC protein in Gram-negative bacteria: conformational flexibility, solvent effect and protein-phospholipid binding.
The composition of the outer membrane in Gram-negative bacteria is asymmetric, with the lipopolysaccharides found in the outer leaflet and phospholipids in the inner leaflet. The MlaC protein transfers phospholipids from the outer to inner membrane to maintain such lipid asymmetry in the Mla pathway. In this work, we have performed molecular dynamics simulations on apo and phospholipid-bound sy...
