Abstract

Beta(2)-microglobulin (beta2-m), a protein responsible for dialysis-related amyloidosis, adopts a typical immunoglobulin domain fold with the N-terminal peptide bond of Pro32 in a cis isomer. The refolding of beta2-m is limited by the slow trans-to-cis isomerization of Pro32, implying that intermediates with a non-native trans-Pro32 isomer are precursors for the formation of amyloid fibrils. To obtain further insight into the Pro-limited folding of beta2-m, we studied the Gdn-HCl-dependent unfolding/refolding kinetics using two mutants (W39 and P32V beta2-ms) as well as the wild-type beta2-m. W39 beta2-m is a triple mutant in which both of the authentic Trp residues (Trp60 and Trp95) are replaced by Phe and a buried Trp common to other immunoglobulin domains is introduced at the position of Leu39 (i.e., L39W/W60F/W95F). W39 beta2-m exhibits a dramatic quenching of fluorescence upon folding, enabling a detailed analysis of Pro-limited unfolding/refolding. On the other hand, P32V beta2-m is a mutant in which Pro32 is replaced by Val, useful for probing the kinetic role of the trans-to-cis isomerization of Pro32. A comparative analysis of the unfolding/refolding kinetics of these mutants including three types of double-jump experi...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.
