A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

Photo prise à l'avant (dans la protrusion) d'astrocytes primaires de rat en migration. Marquage par immunofluorescence montrant en rouge, p150 Glued, une protéine associée aux extrémités 'plus' des microtubules et en vert la tubuline des microtubules. La photographie montre l'accumulation de p150 Glued à l'avant des cellules en migration, où la protéine pourrait participer à l'ancrage des microtubules à la membrane plasmique. Pour essayer de corriger, les dérèglements observés lors de la migration des cellules d'astrocytes tumuraux ou gliomes on cherche à connaitre les mécanismes moléculaires fondamentaux qui controlent la polarisation et la migration cellulaires.

We investigated whether the structural and functional behaviors of two unrelated protein domains were modified when fused. The IgG-binding protein ZZ derived from staphylococcal protein A was fused to the N- and/or C-terminus of the diphtheria toxin transmembrane domain (T). T undergoes a conformational change from a soluble native state at neutral pH to a molten globule-like state at acidic pH, leading to its interaction with membranes. We found that this molten globule state was not connected to the GdnHCl-induced unfolding pathway of T. The pH-induced transition of T, and also the unfolding of T and ZZ at neutral and acidic pH, were unchanged whether the domains were isolated or fused. The position of ZZ, however, influenced the solubility of T near its pK(i). SPR measurements revealed that T has a high affinity for membranes, isolated or within the fusion proteins (K(D)< 10(-11) M). This work shows that in the case of T and ZZ, the fusion of protein domains with different stabilities does not alter the structural changes involved in folding and function. This supports the use of T as a soluble membrane anchor.
