The isoleucine-23 residue of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was substituted by a variety of amino acid residues and the receptor-binding activities of variant hEGFs were determined by the use of human KB cell. Tight receptor binding was found of variants with hydrophobic amino acid residues in position 23. The size of the isoleucine residue was nearly optimum for the receptor binding as compared with other hydrophobic residues. The structure analysis by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that the substitution at position 23 only slightly affected the tertiary structure of hEGF. These indicate that the side chain of isoleucine residue in position 23, which is exposed on the protein surface, directly binds to a hydrophobic pocket of the receptor. 相似文献

We have used computer simulations to investigate the structural nature of the molten globule (MG) state of canine milk lysozyme. To sample the conformational space efficiently, we performed replica-exchange umbrella sampling simulations with the radius of gyration as a reaction coordinate. We applied the Weighted Histogram Analysis Method to the trajectory of the simulations to obtain the potential of mean force, from which we identified representative structures corresponding to local minima in the free energy surface. The representative structures obtained in this way are in accord with the characteristics of the MG state reported previously by experimental studies. We conjecture that the MG state comprises a series of partially structured states undergoing relatively fast conformational interchange. 相似文献

Chemical optimization of the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine (THPP) scaffold was conducted with a focus on cellular potency while maintaining high selectivity against PI3K isoforms. Compound 11f was identified as a potent, highly selective and orally available PI3Kδ inhibitor. In addition, 11f exhibited efficacy in an in vivo antibody production model. The desirable drug-like properties and in vivo efficacy of 11f suggest its potential as a drug candidate for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and leukocyte malignancies. 相似文献

Background
The purpose of this study was to determine whether autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) implantation improves endothelial dysfunction in a rabbit ischemic limb model.Methods
We evaluated the effect of MSC implantation on limb blood flow (LBF) responses to acetylcholine (ACh), an endothelium-dependent vasodilator, and sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an endothelium-independent vasodilator, in rabbits with limb ischemia in which cultured MSCs were implanted (n = 20) or saline was injected as a control group (n = 20). LBF was measured using an electromagnetic flowmeter. A total of 106 MSCs were implanted into each ischemic limb.Results
Histological sections of ischemic muscle showed that capillary index (capillary/muscle fiber) was greater in the MSC implantation group than in the control group. Laser Doppler blood perfusion index was significantly increased in the MSC implantation group compared with that in the control group. LBF response to ACh was greater in the MSC group than in the control group. After administration of NG-nitro-L-arginine, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, LBF response to ACh was similar in the MSC implantation group and control group. Vasodilatory effects of SNP in the two groups were similar.Conclusions
These findings suggest that MSC implantation induces angiogenesis and augments endothelium-dependent vasodilation in a rabbit ischemic model through an increase in nitric oxide production. 相似文献6.
Applying proteomics to signaling networks 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The information from genome sequencing provides a new framework for a systems-wide understanding of protein networks and cellular function. Whereas microarray technologies provide information about global gene expression within cells, complementary proteomic strategies monitor expression of proteins and their posttranslational modifications. Improved technologies that have emerged for comprehensive and high-throughput protein analysis yield novel insights into cell regulation. 相似文献

Protein interactions between MAP kinases and substrates, activators, and scaffolding proteins are regulated by docking site motifs, one containing basic residues proximal to Leu-X-Leu (DEJL) and a second containing Phe-X-Phe (DEF). Hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry was used to identify regions in MAP kinases protected from solvent by docking motif interactions. Protection by DEJL peptide binding was observed in loops spanning beta7-beta8 and alphaD-alphaE in p38alpha and ERK2. In contrast, protection by DEF binding to ERK2 revealed a distinct hydrophobic pocket for Phe-X-Phe binding formed between the P+1 site, alphaF helix, and the MAP kinase insert. In inactive ERK2, this pocket is occluded by intramolecular interactions with residues in the activation lip. In vitro assays confirm the dependence of Elk1 and nucleoporin binding on ERK2 phosphorylation, and provide a structural basis for preferential involvement of active ERK in substrate binding and nuclear pore protein interactions. 相似文献

Introduction
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2, a homolog of ACE, converts angiotensin (Ang) II into Ang(1-7), and the vasoprotective effects of Ang(1-7) have been documented. We explored the hypothesis that serum autoantibodies to ACE2 predispose patients with connective tissue diseases to constrictive vasculopathy, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), or persistent digital ischemia. 相似文献9.
