Coiled-coil domains of intermediate filaments (IF) and prokaryotic IF-like proteins enable oligomerisation and filamentation, and no additional function is ascribed to these coiled-coil domains. However, an IF-like protein fromStreptomyces reticuliwas reported to display cellulose affinity. We demonstrat...
DNA binding assays established that MFP1 can discriminate between animal and plant MAR DNAs and non-MAR DNA fragments of similar size and AT content. Deletion mutants of MFP1 revealed a novel, discrete DNA binding domain near the C terminus of the protein. MFP1 is an in vitro substrate ...
Therein, myosin, actin, and collagen have been selected to be the representative members in natural protein filaments. Then the synthesized protein filaments have been divided into animal-sourced proteins, plant-sourced proteins, and microbial-sourced proteins. We concluded by highlighting the current ...
1.a very fine thread or threadlike structure; a fiber or fibril:filaments of gold. 2.the stalklike portion of a stamen, supporting the anther. 3.(in an incandescent lamp) the threadlike conductor, often of tungsten, that is heated to incandescence by the passage of current. ...
by 3 nm filaments. After further digestion and extraction with DNase I and ammonium sulphate, IF-like framework-lamina-nuclear matrix system was shown under electron microscope. That IF system exists in plant protoplasts just like in animal cells, and their main component is keratin-like protein....
3 MDCK cells make basal actin stress fibers, like many cell types throughout the kidney in vivo (2425, 2627). In addition, the kidney expresses α-actinin-4, which is of particular interest in human health because mutations in α-actinin-4 cause an inherited kidney disease known as focal ...
The protein encoded by AT3G05270 has a large 伪-helix as well as the IF protein motif indispensable for maintaining the structures of IF. Moreover, fluorescence signals of this protein fused with GFP exhibited cytoskeleton-like filamentous structures in plant cells. Thus, we named the protein ...
like structure at the filament apex. AR0382 (Clade I) wild type,Δelm1, andΔelm1 + ELM1strains shown with phase contrast microscopy, stained with the lipophilic dye FM 4−64. Arrow indicates the location of a putative Spitzenkörper where dye has accumulated at the growing ...
Auxin regulates plant growth and development in part by activating gene expression. Arabidopsis thaliana SMALL AUXIN UP RNAs (SAURs) are a family of early auxin-responsive genes with unknown functionality. Here, we show that transgenic plant lines expressing artificial microRNA constructs (aMIR-SAUR-...
The Silk sericin is collagan protein, which is well known for people to nourish the skin. The silk fibroin is used for textile as thread. Surely all of our silk thread are made by this silk fibroin part with strong strength. Silk has a similar PH to the human body,...
