Proteins 63, 16-23Lin X, Tan SM, Law SKA, Torres J (2006) Two types of transmembrane homomeric interactions in the integrin receptor family are evolutionarily conserved. Proteins: Struct Funct Bioinformatics 63:16-23.Lin, X., Tan, S.M., Law, S.K.A., and Torres, J. 2006. Two ...
Cation-[pi] interactions play an important role to the stability of protein structures. In this work, we analyze the influence of cation-[pi] interactions in three-dimensional structures of membrane proteins. We found that transmembrane strand (TMS) proteins have more number of cation-[pi] inter...
While divalent cations do not affect all transmembrane proteins related to cell-cell junctions, the stability of these proteins in the absence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ contributes to the formation of the sheet-like structure. Mechanical methods for cell sheet fabrication Mechanical methods, such as cell ...
Variations in proteins have very large number of diverse effects affecting sequence, structure, stability, interactions, activity, abundance and other properties. Although protein-coding exons cover just over 1 % of the human genome they harbor an disproportionately large portion of disease-causing varia...
To avoid redundancy and bias, none of the proteins included has ⩾40% sequence identity to any other. It has been observed that the overall success rate by the jackknife cross-validation test in identifying non-membrane proteins and membrane proteins was 94.76%, and that in identifying the ...
The dataset for SignalP 6.0 was obtained by extending the data published with SignalP 5.0 (ref.4). For all classes that were already part of the original data (Sec/SPI, Sec/SPII, Tat/SPI and soluble and transmembrane proteins), we added sequences that had become available in the respecti...
Learn about membrane proteins. Understand the structure and the functions of membrane proteins and discover types of membrane proteins, such as integral proteins and transmembrane protei. Related to this Question Explore our homework questions and answers library ...
Typically, the receptors are transmembrane proteins and span the cell membrane. This allows them to both detect signals in the extracellular environment and cause changes inside the cell. This can look like turning on or off different proteins that lead to a signal transduction cascade. At the ...
It is thought that the strands that hold adjacent plasma membranes together are formed by continuous strands of transmembrane junctional proteins across the intercellular space, creating a seal. Gap Junctions In contrast to the tight junction, there is a channel between the membranes of contacting ...
Association of chromatin with lamin proteins at the nuclear periphery has emerged as a potential mechanism to coordinate cell type-specific gene expression and maintain cellular identity via gene silencing. Unlike many histone modifications and chromatin
