Dissecting protein loops with a statistical scalpel suggests a functional implication of some structural motifs
2011
BMC Bioinformatics
Results: Here, we present a systematic extraction of structural motifs of seven residues from protein loops and we explore their correspondence with functional sites. ...
One of the strategies for protein function annotation is to search particular structural motifs that are known to be shared by proteins with a given function. ...

Cartilage Intermediate Layer Protein 2 (CILP-2) Is Expressed in Articular and Meniscal Cartilage and Down-regulated in Experimental Osteoarthritis
2011
Journal of Biological Chemistry
Ultrastructural analysis also suggested that CILP-2 may be associated with collagen VI microfibrils and thus may mediate interactions between matrix components in the territorial and inter-territorial ...
We demonstrated that Cilp2 has a restricted mRNA distribution at the surface of the mouse articular cartilage during development, becoming localized to the intermediate zone of articular cartilage and ...

Identification of the kinase STK25 as an upstream activator of LATS signaling
2019
Nature Communications
Notably, STK25 activates LATS by promoting LATS activation loop phosphorylation independent of a preceding phosphorylation event at the hydrophobic motif, which represents a form of Hippo activation distinct ...
STK25 is significantly focally deleted across a wide spectrum of human cancers, suggesting STK25 loss may represent a common mechanism by which tumor cells functionally impair the Hippo tumor suppressor ...

Wheat Germination Is Dependent on Plant Target of Rapamycin Signaling
2020
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Rapamycin or torin1 interfered with GA function in germination because of a potent inhibitory effect on α-amylase and GAMYB gene expression. ...
The phosphorylation of serine 467 (S467) in a hydrophobic motif on TaS6K1 was induced in a process of germination triggered by GA. ...
Analysis of the kinase domain structure of TaS6K1 revealed an activation loop (T-loop) motif, turn motif (TM), and hydrophobic motif (HM) with their phosphorylation sites conserved in all S6 kinases belonging ...

The transcription factors SOX9 and SOX5/SOX6 cooperate genome-wide through super-enhancers to drive chondrogenesis
2015
Nucleic Acids Research
SOX9 recognizes pairs of inverted SOX motifs, whereas SOX6 favors pairs of tandem SOX motifs. The SOX proteins primarily target enhancers. ...
SOX9 is a transcriptional activator required for chondrogenesis, and SOX5 and SOX6 are closely related DNA-binding proteins that critically enhance its function. ...

Evidence for a Role of the Transcriptional Regulator Maid in Tumorigenesis and Aging
2015
PLoS ONE
Maid is a helix-loop-helix protein that is involved in cell proliferation. In order to further elucidate its physiological functions, we studied Maid activity in two small fish model systems. ...
Taken together, our results suggest that Maid levels can influence the progression of liver cancer. In conclusion, we found that Maid is important regulator of hepatocarconogenesis and aging. ...

Discovery and Characterization of a Bilirubin Inducible Green Fluorescent Protein From the Moray Eel Gymnothorax zonipectis
2021
Frontiers in Marine Science
This protein, GymFP, is 15.6 kDa with a fluorescence excitation at 496 nm and an emission maximum at 532 nm upon addition of bilirubin. ...
The mechanisms of biofluorescence in marine organisms are also variable. To fluoresce, some organisms use fluorescent proteins, while others use small molecules. ...
All fluorescent fatty acid binding proteins discovered to date have a Glycine-Proline-Proline (GPP) motif that resides on a loop that may act to protect bilirubin from solvent. ...

Critical role for v 6 integrin in enamel biomineralization
2012
Journal of Cell Science
During the secretory stage of enamel formation, ameloblasts deposit an extracellular matrix that is in direct contact with the ameloblast plasma membrane. ...
This accumulation was related to increased synthesis of amelogenin, rather than to reduced removal of the matrix proteins. ...

Proteomes
An important role of the storage proteins in zinc binding has been recently suggested by the finding of a positive linear relationship between the increase of barley major prolamin fraction, B-hordein, ...
However, nowadays, a modified version of Osborne fractionation has been used by the replacement of ethanol with other alcohols (e.g., 50% (v/v) propanol), and the addition of a reducing agent to extract ...
