000 amino acids, and its protein skeleton is synthesized in ribosomes. MUC2 is composed of the following conserved domain structures: a D’ domain containing only a trypsin inhibitor-like (TIL) domain and a fibronectin type I
Furin is a member of the proprotein convertases (PC) family that can cleave single or paired basic amino acids within the motif R/K-(X)0,2,4,6-R/K (where X refers to any residue) (Seidah and Prat 2012). The favorable recognition site for the furin enzyme is the RXR/KR motif, ...
Finally, the liver's role in protein metabolism is similarly indispensable. Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, contain a significant amount of nitrogen in the form of amino groups. These are removed in the liver from amino acids, freeing the acids for use in carbohydrate and far me...
2. Single Amino Acid Self-Assemblies Single amino acid self-assemblies have garnered a great deal of attention recently because of their role in metabolic disorders [16]. Single amino acids, such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, cysteine, and methionine have been found to cause disorders,...
jejuni possess proteins to sense the human host metabolites, such as bile acids, free fatty acids, amino acids and vitamins. C. jejuni is also equipped with a mechanism to sense metabolites derived from gut microbiota, such as bacteriocins, short-chain fatty acids and quorum-sensing autoinducers...
