preDQ is a software tool for peptide binding prediction to HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 proteins specially designed developed the European Food Safety Authority. The able identify peptides and/or predict their affinities. used assess risk of novel cause celiac disease. Predictions made by are based on five models assessment reported outputs. using datasets known non-binding proteins. compiled from liter...
This work describes the development of a new platform for allosteric protein engineering that takes advantage of the ability of calmodulin to change conformation upon binding to peptide and protein ligands. The switch we have developed consists of a fusion protein in which calmodulin is genetically inserted into the sequence of TEM1 β-lactamase. In this approach, calmodulin acts as the input do...
The small subunit (SSU) processome is a ribosome biogenesis intermediate that assembles from its subcomplexes onto the pre-18S rRNA with yet unknown order and structure. Here, we investigate the architecture of the UtpB subcomplex of the SSU processome, focusing on the interaction between the half-a-tetratricopeptide repeat (HAT) domain of Utp6 and a specific peptide in Utp21. We present a comp...
The T cell repertoire is shaped by positive and negative selection of thymocytes through the interaction of alpha/beta-T cell receptors (TCR) with self-peptides bound to self-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. However, the involvement of specific TCR-peptide contacts in positive selection remains unclear. By fixing TCR-beta chains with a single rearranged TCR-beta irrelevant to t...
The 2C T cell is a CD8+, alloreactive T cell, which recognizes cells bearing Ld and Kbm3 class I major histocompatability complex molecules. Here, we characterize an allopeptide, designated dEV-8, that is a ligand in the Kbm3 molecule for the 2C TCR but is not a ligand in the Ld molecule. By biochemical and immunological properties, dEV-8 is distinct from P2Ca, the Ld allopeptide that is also r...
Rational modification of a natural RNA-binding peptide with a lanthanide EDTA chelator, and a phenanthroline ligand yields a highly selective luminescent sensor. The sensing mechanism relies on the RNA-triggered folding of the peptide into a β-hairpin, which promotes the coordination of the phenanthroline sensitizer, and the efficient sensitization of complexed lanthanide ions.
The cyclic peptide, cRGDf[N(me)]V, binds to the avb3 integrin and can disrupt binding of the integrin to its natural ligands in the extracellular matrix. In this work, the ability of a water-soluble, fluorescently labeled variant of the RGD-containing peptide (cRGDfK-488) to bind to integrins on human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) and subsequently undergo endocytosis was characte...
The atypical chemokine receptor, ACKR2 is a pivotal regulator of chemokine-driven inflammatory responses and works by binding, internalizing, and degrading inflammatory CC-chemokines. ACKR2 displays promiscuity of ligand binding and is capable of interacting with up to 14 different inflammatory CC-chemokines. Despite its prominent biological role, little is known about the structure/function re...
Peptide-mediated interactions, in which a short linear motif binds to a globular domain, play major roles in cellular regulation. An accurate structural model of this type of interaction is an excellent starting point for the characterization of the binding specificity of a given peptide-binding domain. A number of different protocols have recently been proposed for the accurate modeling of pep...
Solid phase peptide synthesis method, which was introduced by Merrifield in 1963, has spawned the concept of combinatorial chemistry. In this review, we summarize the present technologies of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) that are related to combinatorial chemistry. The conventional methods of peptide library synthesis on polymer support are parallel synthesis, split and mix synthesis and...
