Crystal structures of fragment D from human fibrinogen and its crosslinked counterpart from fibrin
In blood coagulation, units of the protein fibrinogen pack together to form a fibrin clot, but a crystal structure for fibrinogen is needed to understand how this is achieved. The structure of a core… Expand
A dynamic mechanism for AKAP binding to RII isoforms of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.
A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) target PKA to specific microdomains by using an amphipathic helix that docks to N-terminal dimerization and docking (D/D) domains of PKA regulatory (R) subunits.… Expand
Crystal structure of the ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) catalytic domain.
ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) is an RTK (receptor tyrosine kinase) of the IRK (insulin receptor kinase) superfamily, which share an YXXXYY autophosphorylation motif within their A-loops… Expand
Structural genomics of the Thermotoga maritima proteome implemented in a high-throughput structure determination pipeline
Structural genomics is emerging as a principal approach to define protein structure–function relationships. To apply this approach on a genomic scale, novel methods and technologies must be developed… Expand
Proteasome inhibition for treatment of leishmaniasis, Chagas disease and sleeping sickness
Chagas disease, leishmaniasis and sleeping sickness affect 20 million people worldwide and lead to more than 50,000 deaths annually. The diseases are caused by infection with the kinetoplastid… Expand
Structural basis for lack of toxicity of the diphtheria toxin mutant CRM197
CRM197 is an enzymatically inactive and nontoxic form of diphtheria toxin that contains a single amino acid substitution (G52E). Being naturally nontoxic, CRM197 is an ideal carrier protein for… Expand
Shotgun crystallization strategy for structural genomics: an optimized two-tiered crystallization screen against the Thermotoga maritima proteome.
As the field of structural genomics continues to grow and new technologies are developed, novel strategies are needed to efficiently crystallize large numbers of protein targets, thus increasing… Expand
FdeC, a Novel Broadly Conserved Escherichia coli Adhesin Eliciting Protection against Urinary Tract Infections
ABSTRACT The increasing antibiotic resistance of pathogenic Escherichia coli species and the absence of a pan-protective vaccine pose major health concerns. We recently identified, by subtractive… Expand
Crystal structure of human Pus10, a novel pseudouridine synthase.
Pseudouridine (Psi) synthases catalyze the formation of one or more specific Psis in structured RNAs. Five families of Psi synthases have been characterized based on sequence homology. Pus10 has no… Expand
The crystal structure of the catalytic domain of human urokinase-type plasminogen activator.
BACKGROUND Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) promotes fibrinolysis by catalyzing the conversion of plasminogen to the active protease plasmin via the cleavage of a peptide bond. When… Expand
