Abstract:

Introduction: Interferon beta is one of the members of type I interferons. Creating R27T and V101F mutations is one of the important researches performed to improve function, decrease immunogenicity, increase expression and increase half-life of interferon beta. In this study, the effects of R27T and V101F mutations on interferon beta binding to interferon receptors were studied by molecular docking. Method: This study was performed through Bioinformatics methods. The required crystal structures were provided by the RCSB server. The simulations of R27T and V101F mutations were performed using online Rosetta Backrub software. Comparison of access to the solvent for the amino acids in the created structures was performed using asaview online server. Also, the effect of mutations on the structure and protein folding was investigated by the online Hope server and SPDBV software. The molecular docking between HuIFN-β and the external region of IFNAR receptor was performed using the online ClusPro2 protein-protein docking server. Results: The comparison of the values of the negative binding energy (ΔGbind) obtained from protein-protein molecular docking between IFNAR receptor and HuIFN-β, mHuIFN-β-27, mHuIFN-β-101 and mHuIFN-β-27-101 ligands did not show a significant difference (P> 0.99). Conclusion: Regarding these results, it can be concluded that the produced mutations do not have a negative effect on the forming of rHuIFN-β/IFNAR complex and does not interfere with the binding of the interferon beta to the receptor and thus improves the quality of the produced rHuIFN-β.

Molecular 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(trade name, Ontak) is the first recombinant immunotoxin (IM), in which the binding domain of diphtheria toxin has been replaced by the amino acid sequence of human interleukin-2 (DT389IL-2) using genetic engineering.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...

Putative Binding Sites of Dopamine and Arachidonoyl Dopamine to Beta-lactoglobulin: A Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Study

Because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (DA) and arachidonoyl dopamine (AA-DA), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. In this work, we explored the putative binding sites of DA and AA-DA to -lactoglobulin (BLG) as potent carrier. Docking results identified the binding si...

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
