We describe an iterative approach for creating protein switches involving the in vitro recombination of two nonhomologous genes. We demonstrate this approach by recombining the genes coding for TEM1 beta-lactamase (BLA) and the Escherichia coli maltose binding protein (MBP) to create a family of MBP-BLA hybrids in which maltose is a positive or negative effector of beta-lactam hydrolysis. Some ...
The human mannose-binding protein (MBP) is a multimeric serum protein that is divided into three domains: a cysteine-rich NH2-terminal domain that stabilizes the alpha-helix of the second collagen-like domain, and a third COOH-terminal carbohydrate binding region. The function of MBP is unknown, although a role in host defense is suggested by its ability to bind yeast mannans. In this report we...
Eosinophils are white blood cells that function in innate immunity and participate in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory and neoplastic disorders. Their secretory granules contain four cytotoxic proteins, including the eosinophil major basic protein (MBP-1). How MBP-1 toxicity is controlled within the eosinophil itself and activated upon extracellular release is unknown. Here we show how ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which the myelin sheath of the central nervous system is degraded, and the 18.5 kDa isoform of myelin basic protein (MBP) is reduced in cationicity. In a unique case of acute, fulminating MS (Marburg's variant), MBP is considerably less cationic than MBP from both normal, and chronic MS-afflicted individuals. This electron microscopical study ...
The efficient export of a subset of Escherichia coli envelope proteins is dependent upon the product of the secB gene. Previous studies indicated that SecB promotes the export of the periplasmic maltose-binding protein (MBP) by preventing premature folding of the precursor MBP in the cytoplasm into an export-incompetent form. In this study, SecB has been purified to homogeneity and shown to be ...
The 42 amino acid Alzheimer's Abeta peptide has been produced in E. coli as a soluble fusion to maltose binding protein (MBP). Affinity purification on amylose columns of MBP-Abeta and MBP led to the recovery of proteins at purities that were suited for physicochemical analyses. MBP-Abeta was able to bind approximately 2 mole equivalents of copper or 4 mole equivalents of zinc, while MBP alone ...
Eosinophil granule major basic protein (MBP), a potent toxin for helminths and various cell types, is a 13.8-kD single polypeptide rich in arginine with a calculated isoelectric point (pI) of 10.9. A cDNA for human MBP was isolated from a gamma GT10 HL-60 cDNA library. The nucleotide sequence of the MBP cDNA indicates that MBP is translated as a 25.2-kD preproprotein. The 9.9-kD pro-portion of ...
Major basic protein (MBP) is a primary constituent of eosinophil granules. In this report, we demonstrate that MBP from human eosinophil granules initiates a nonlytic histamine release from human leukocytes. A direct effect of MBP on basophils was confirmed using purified human basophils. The kinetics of release were similar to those reported for poly-L-arginine, although MBP was less potent th...
Objective(s) Erythropoietin has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in a variety of CNS injury models. Elevation of serum S100β, as a glial damage marker and myelin basic protein (MBP) has been reported to occur in acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on serum S100β and MBP levels after CO poisoning in rats. Mat...
We recently showed that myelin basic protein (MBP) is hydrolyzed by 26S proteasome without ubiquitination. The previously suggested concept of charge-mediated interaction between MBP and the proteasome led us to attempt to compensate or mimic its positive charge to inhibit proteasomal degradation. We demonstrated that negatively charged actin and calmodulin (CaM), as well as basic histone H1.3,...
