Abstract

The backbone dynamics of the cytokine interleukin-8, a symmetric homodimer of overall molecular mass 16 kDa, has been investigated at pH 5.2 by means of 15N relaxation measurements using heteronuclear two-dimensional inverse detected 1H-15N spectroscopy. 15N T1, T2 and NOE data were obtained for 66 out of a total of 67 backbone amide groups. The overall correlation time is 9.10(+/- 0.05) ns at 26.6 degrees C. All residues exhibit very rapid motions on a time-scale of < or = 20 ps. These very rapid motions alone can account for the 15N relaxation behaviour of 30 residues. The 15N relaxation data for another 21 residues can only be accounted for by the inclusion of an additional internal motion on a time-scale ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 ns. These residues are clustered at the N and C termini, and in the loop regions connecting elements of secondary structures. Finally, the 15N relaxation data for another 15 residues could only be accounted for by the presence of chemical exchange on a time-scale ranging from approximately 170 ns to 2.25 ms. In addition, the inclusion of chemical exchange improved the fit to the experimental data for 10 of the 30 residues whose 15N relaxation behaviour could be accounted for by very fast motions alon...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
