Abstract

Recombinant 15N- and 13C-labeled human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rh-metG-CSF) has been studied by 2D and 3D NMR using uniformly labeled protein, as well as residue-specific 15N-labeled samples. Assignment of 90% of the backbone resonances and 85% of side-chain resonances has enabled the determination of both the secondary and tertiary structures of the protein. The fold is similar to those of the human growth hormone and other growth factors. Four stretches of helices were identified between residues 11 and 41 (helix A), 71 and 95 (helix B), 102 and 125 (helix C), and 145 and 170 (helix D), which form a left-handed four-helix bundle with helices A and B aligned parallel to one another (up-up) and antiparallel to helices C and D (down-down). An additional short fifth helix (E) is part of the AB loop connecting helices A and B. Examination of the protein's relaxation behavior, based on the model-free approach of Lipari and Szabo, shows that the G-CSF backbone has a well-defined structure of limited conformational flexibility in helices. In contrast, the long loop connecting helices C and D exhibits substantial fast internal motion compared to the overall rotational correlation time of the whole molecule, which is on ...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.
