The interaction of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) with peptides relies on noncovalent binding to basic amino acid sequences, for which a minimal requirement is a pentapeptide region in the protein and the sulfated and carboxyl region in the GAG. Since such sequences are present in the heparin-binding
A synthesized analog of myelopeptide HP-2-->M[symbol: see text]-2 (Leu-Val-Val-Tyr-Pro-Trp) caused a significant (60-80%) and prolonged inhibition of s.c. grafted tumors P388, Ca-755, B-16 and sarcoma 180 in isogenic mice but did not affect the growth of tumor B-16 in nude mice. Nor did it influence
An insoluble preparation of rat liver cathepsin D was obtained by coupling the enzyme to Enzacryl Polyacetal (EPA-cathepsin) and to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. EPA-cathepsin was active toward the synthetic hexapeptides (Gly-Phe-Leu)2 and did not split hemoglobin. The optimum pH of splitting was
Structurally diverse organophosphonate inhibitors targeting the active site of the enzyme were used to investigate the relationship of the active site and the dimer interface of wild-type protease in solution. Positional scanning synthetic combinatorial libraries revealed Kaposi's sarcoma-associated
The genome of avian sarcoma virus CT10 encodes a fusion protein in which viral Gag sequences are fused to cellular Crk sequences containing primarily Src homology 2 (SH2) and Src homology 3 (SH3) domains. Transformation of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) with the Gag-Crk fusion protein results in
Chromosomal fusion of the N-terminal region of the Ewings Sarcoma Oncogene (EWS-activation-domain, EAD) to the DNA-binding domains of a variety of cellular transcription factors produce oncogenic proteins (EWS-fusion proteins (EFPs)) that cause distinct malignancies. In EFPs, the EAD acts as a
Cathepsins D were isolated from human liver and spleen, from three malignant tumours (kidney cancer, sarcoma, spleen tumour caused by chronic myeloleucosis) and from one non-malignant tumour (uterine myoma). The isolation procedure involved adsorption on pepstatin-Sepharose and gel-filtration on
The herpesvirus proteases are an example in which allosteric regulation of an enzyme activity is achieved through the formation of quaternary structure. Here, we report a 1.7 A resolution structure of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus protease in complex with a hexapeptide transition state
A protein kinase activity (PK) was associated with immunoprecipitates between polypeptides of human lymphoblastoid cells of malignant origin (Raji cell line) or of their normal counterparts ( Priess cell line) and antibodies directed against avian pp60 src or against the carboxyterminal hexapeptide
The c-src protein isolated from neuronal cells (pp60c-src+) displays a higher level of protein kinase activity than does pp60c-src from nonneural tissues. There are two structural alterations present in the amino-terminal half of pp60c-src+ expressed in neurons which could contribute to the enhanced
Chromosomal translocations involving the N-terminal approximately 250 residues of the Ewings sarcoma (EWS) oncogene produce a group of EWS fusion proteins (EFPs) that cause several distinct human cancers. EFPs are potent transcriptional activators and interact with other proteins required for mRNA
The proto-oncoprotein SYT is involved in the unique translocation t(X;18) found in synovial sarcoma SYT-SSX fusions. SYT has a conserved N-terminal domain (SNH domain) that interacts with the human paralog of Drosophila Brahma (hBRM) and Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1) chromatin remodeling proteins and
