E) Fatty acids Biological Macromolecules: All living cells contain a set of biomolecules that are essential for their survival, which are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. All these biomolecules are polymers th...
LSSA12 and LSSmGFP, as well as mT-Sapphire and mAmetrine, behaved as monomers in cultured cells (Extended Data Fig.7h–i). LSSmGFP localized properly to common intracellular targets (LSSA12 was not tested) (Extended Data Fig.7j–n). LSSmGFP and LSSA12 enjoy similar advantages as hfYFP...
The term microbial protein can be misleading since estimates are generally made using marker ratios solely for bacteria that were isolated from rumen contents. Thus, they are really an estimate of ‘bacterial’ protein and other microbes contributing to protein flow are not included, except, to a...
Our understanding of the homeobox gene family has expanded substantially in the last 20 years, not least because the numerous completed genome sequences allow comprehensive analyses. While many findings and the basic framework from 1994 are still valid, numerous revisions and refinements have been mad...
The crystal structure of the AR dimer has been recently reported40, where the interactions between the AR monomers are observed. These interactions are crucial for the DNA binding and disrupting them could be a novel way to inhibit the protein. Interestingly, parts of the region involved in prot...
More than one fifth of the proteins encoded by the genome of Escherichia coli are destined to the bacterial cell envelope. Over the past 20 years, the mechanisms by which envelope proteins reach their three-dimensional structure have been intensively studied, leading to the discovery of an intrica...
For instance, HPV E6 oncoproteins, when produced as MBP-E6 fusions, are expressed as mixtures of biologically inactive oligomers and active monomers. While a protocol was previously developed to isolate MBP-E6 monomers for structural studies, it allows the purification of only one MBP-E6 construct...
A monomer is a molecule that serves as the building block of larger molecules called polymers. One example of monomers is nucleotides. Nucleotides are made up of a sugar-phosphate complex and a nitrogenous base. There are two main groups of nitrogen...
Accurate descriptions of protein-protein interactions are essential for understanding biological systems. Remarkably accurate atomic structures have been recently computed for individual proteins by AlphaFold2 (AF2). Here, we demonstrate that the same ne
