A STRUCTURALLY CONSERVED SITE IN AUP1 BINDS THE E2 ENZYME UBE2G2 AND IS ESSENTIAL FOR ER-ASSOCIATED DEGRADATION.

A structurally conserved site in AUP1 binds the E2 enzyme UBE2G2 and is essential for ER-associated degradation.

Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) is a protein quality control pathway of fundamental importance to cellular homeostasis.Although multiple ERAD pathways exist for targeting topologically distinct substrates, all pathways require substrate ubiquitination.Here, iPhone XS Max we characterize a key role for the UBE2G2 Binding Region (

The energy landscapes of repeat-containing proteins: topology, cooperativity, and the folding funnels of one-dimensional architectures.

Repeat-proteins are made up of near repetitions of 20- to 40-amino acid stretches.These polypeptides usually fold up into non-globular, elongated architectures that are stabilized by the interactions within each repeat and those between adjacent repeats, but that lack contacts between residues distant in sequence.The inherent symmetries both in pri

Sequential trypsin and ProAlanase digestions unearth immunological protein biomarkers shrouded by skeletal collagen

Summary: This study investigates the efficacy of proteomic analysis of human remains to identify active infections in the past through the detection of pathogens and the host response to infection.We advance leprosy as a case study due to the sequestering of sufferers in leprosaria and the suggestive skeletal lesions that can result from the diseas
