对于副粘病毒科中的大多数病毒而言,细胞融合过程需要病毒的融合蛋白和吸附蛋白共同参与,其中吸附蛋白负责与受体结合,吸附蛋白与融合蛋白的相互作用激活融合蛋白进而激活细胞融合。而偏肺病毒介导的细胞融合则与上述副粘病毒的融合显著不同,所有已报道偏肺病毒介导的细胞融合不需要吸附蛋白的参与,其融合蛋白可单独完成与受体结合和融合。并且近年研究发现有些人偏肺病毒毒株介导的融合需要低pH条件,禽偏肺病毒A型具备极强的融合能力,而禽偏肺病毒B型则较弱。原有的副粘病毒细胞融合理论模型均不能解释上述现象,偏肺病毒介导的这种融合机制目前还不清楚,其研究在近几年日趋成为细胞融合机制研究的热点。近年发现的偏肺病毒介导的融合现象打破了人们对副粘病毒融合的固有理解,拓展了人们对副粘病毒介导的细胞融合的认识。本文旨在对偏肺病毒介导的细胞融合的最新成果和进展加以综述和讨论。 相似文献

Improvement of protein stability in protein microarrays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Protein stability in microarrays was improved using protein stabilizers. PEG 200 at 30% (w/v) was the most efficient stabilizer giving over 4-fold improvement in protein stability compared to without the stabilizer. PEG 200 above 10% (w/v) in the array solution prevented the evaporation of water in the sample and thereby improved protein stability in the microarray. When the streptavidin-biotin binding reaction was performed under optimized conditions, biotin-BSA-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was detected from 1 ng ml–1 to 5 g ml–1 by fluorescence analysis. 相似文献

In-cell nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a tool for studying proteins under physiologically relevant conditions. In some instances, however, protein signals from leaked protein are observed in the liquid surrounding the cells. Here, we examine the expression of four proteins in Escherichia coli. We describe the controls that should be used for in-cell NMR experiments and show that leakage is likely when the protein being studied exceeds ~20% of the total cellular protein. 相似文献

We have investigated the structure, equilibria, and folding kinetics of an engineered 35-residue subdomain of the chicken villin headpiece, an ultrafast-folding protein. Substitution of two buried lysine residues by norleucine residues stabilizes the protein by 1 kcal/mol and increases the folding rate sixfold, as measured by nanosecond laser T-jump. The folding rate at 300 K is (0.7 micros)(-1) with little or no temperature dependence, making this protein the first sub-microsecond folder, with a rate only twofold slower than the theoretically predicted speed limit. Using the 70 ns process to obtain the effective diffusion coefficient, the free energy barrier height is estimated from Kramers theory to be less than approximately 1 kcal/mol. X-ray crystallographic determination at 1A resolution shows no significant change in structure compared to the single-norleucine-substituted molecule and suggests that the increased stability is electrostatic in origin. The ultrafast folding rate, very accurate X-ray structure, and small size make this engineered villin subdomain an ideal system for simulation by atomistic molecular dynamics with explicit solvent. 相似文献

Physical principles determining the protein structure and protein folding are reviewed: (i) the molecular theory of protein
secondary structure and the method of its prediction based on this theory; (ii) the existence of a limited set of thermodynamically
favourable folding patterns of α- and β-regions in a compact globule which does not depend on the details of the amino acid
sequence; (iii) the moderns approaches to the prediction of the folding patterns of α- and β-regions in concrete proteins;
(iv) experimental approaches to the mechanism of protein folding. The review reflects theoretical and experimental works of
the author and his collaborators as well as those of other groups. 相似文献

The misfolding and aggregation of disease proteins is characteristic of numerous neurodegenerative diseases. Particular neuronal populations are more vulnerable to proteotoxicity while others are more apt to tolerate the misfolding and aggregation of disease proteins. Thus, the cellular environment must play a significant role in determining whether disease proteins are converted into toxic or benign forms. The endomembrane network of eukaryotes divides the cell into different subcellular compartments that possess distinct sets of molecular chaperones and protein interaction networks. Chaperones act as agonists and antagonists of disease protein aggregation to prevent the accumulation of toxic intermediates in the aggregation pathway. Interacting partners can also modulate the conformation and localization of disease proteins and thereby influence proteotoxicity. Thus, interplay between these protein homeostasis network components can modulate the self‐association of disease proteins and determine whether they elicit a toxic or benign outcome. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

DP1B is a synthetic analogue of spider dragline silk protein. It can be spun to form silk fiber. Previously, it had been expressed in transgenic plants, showing the general feasibility of the plant-based DP1B production. However, success of such a plant-based platform requires a great increase of DP1B productivity in plant cells to reduce production cost. This report describes a protein targeting approach to accumulate DP1B in apoplast, ER lumen, and vacuole in Arabidopsis cells, by utilizing appropriate combinations of sporamin-targeting determinant peptides and ER retention peptide. The approach has dramatically enhanced DP1B accumulation, resulting in high production yield. The accumulation can be as high as 8.5 and 6.7% total soluble protein in leaf tissue by targeting to apoplast and ER lumen, respectively, or as high as 18 and 8.2% total soluble protein in seeds by targeting to ER lumen and vacuole, respectively. However, the vacuole targeting in leaves and the apoplast targeting in seeds have failed to accumulate full length DP1B molecules or any DP1B at all, respectively, suggesting that they may not be suitable for applications in leaf tissues and seeds. Data in this study recommend a combination of seed-specific expression and ER-targeting as one of the best strategies for yield enhancement of plant-based DP1B production. 相似文献

Site-directed protein immobilization allows the homogeneous orientation of proteins with high retention of activity, which is advantageous for many applications. Here, we report a facile, specific, and efficient strategy based on the SpyTag-SpyCatcher chemistry. Two SpyTag-fused model proteins, that is, the monomeric red fluorescent protein (RFP) and the oligomeric glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase, were easily immobilized onto a SpyCatcher-modified resin directly from cell lysates, with activity recoveries in the range of 85–91%. This strategy was further adapted to protein purification, which proceeded through the selective capture of the SpyCatcher-fused target proteins by a SpyTag-modified resin, with the aid of an intein to generate authentic N-termini. For two model proteins, that is, RFP and a variable domain of a heavy chain antibody, the yields were ∼3–7 mg/L culture with >90% purities. This approach could provide a versatile tool for producing high-performance immobilized protein devices and proteins for industrial and therapeutic uses. 相似文献

Failure to promptly dispose of undesirable proteins is associated with numerous diseases. In the case of cellular prion protein (PrP), inhibition of the proteasome pathway can generate a highly aggregation-prone, cytotoxic form of PrP implicated in neurodegeneration. However, the predominant mechanisms that result in delivery of PrP, ordinarily targeted to the secretory pathway, to cytosolic proteasomes have been unclear. By accurately measuring the in vivo fidelity of protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), we reveal a slight inefficiency in PrP signal sequence function that generates proteasomally degraded cytosolic PrP. Attenuating this source of cytosolic PrP completely eliminates the dependence on proteasomes for PrP degradation. This allows cells to tolerate both higher expression levels and decreased proteasomal capacity without succumbing to the adverse consequences of misfolded PrP. Thus, the generation of potentially toxic cytosolic PrP is controlled primarily during its initial translocation into the ER. These results suggest that a substantial proportion of the cell's constitutive proteasomal burden may consist of proteins that, like PrP, fail to cotranslationally enter the secretory pathway with high fidelity. 相似文献

It has recently been shown that in proteins the atomic mean-square displacement (or B-factor) can be related to the number of the neighboring atoms (or protein contact number), and that this relationship allows one to compute the B-factor profiles directly from protein contact number. This method, referred to as the protein contact model, is appealing, since it requires neither trajectory integration nor matrix diagonalization. As a result, the protein contact model can be applied to very large proteins and can be implemented as a high-throughput computational tool to compute atomic fluctuations in proteins. Here, we show that this relationship can be further refined to that between the atomic mean-square displacement and the weighted protein contact-number, the weight being the square of the reciprocal distance between the contacting pair. In addition, we show that this relationship can be utilized to compute the cross-correlation of atomic motion (the B-factor is essentially the auto-correlation of atomic motion). For a nonhomologous dataset comprising 972 high-resolution X-ray protein structures (resolution <2.0 A and sequence identity <25%), the mean correlation coefficient between the X-ray and computed B-factors based on the weighted protein contact-number model is 0.61, which is better than those of the original contact-number model (0.51) and other methods. We also show that the computed correlation maps based on the weighted contact-number model are globally similar to those computed through normal model analysis for some selected cases. Our results underscore the relationship between protein dynamics and protein packing. We believe that our method will be useful in the study of the protein structure-dynamics relationship. 相似文献
