Abstract

Calmodulin is a calcium-activated regulatory protein which can bind to many different targets. The protein resembles a highly flexible dumbbell, and bends in the middle as it binds. This and other motions must be understood to formulate a realistic model of calmodulin function. Using the Bragg reflections from X-ray crystallography, a multiple-conformer refinement of a calmodulin-peptide complex shows anisotropic displacements, with high variations of dihedral angles in several nonhelical domains: the flexible linker; three of the four calcium-binding sites (including both of the N-terminal sites); and a turn connecting the C-terminal EF-hand calcium-binding domains. Three-dimensional maps of the large scale diffuse X-ray scattering data show isotropic liquid-like motions with an unusually small correlation length. Three-dimensional maps of the small scale diffuse streaks show highly coupled, anisotropic motions along the head-to-tail molecular packing direction in the unit cell. There is also weak coupling perpendicular to the head-to-tail packing direction, particularly across a cavity occupied by the disordered linker domain of the molecule. Together, the Bragg and diffuse scattering present a self-consistent description of ...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.
