Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLow-Homology Protein Structural Class Prediction from Secondary Structure Based on Visibility and Horizontal Visibility NetworkZhi-Qin Zhao, Liang Luo, Xiao-Yan LiuIn this study, based on the predicted secondary structures of proteins, we propose a new approach to predict protein structural classes (α,β,α/β,α+β) for three widely used low-homology data sets. Fist, we obtain two time siries from the chaos game representation of each predicted secondary structure; second, based on two time series, we construct visibility and horizontal visibility network, respectively and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2018 · 9,668 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStructural and Evolutionary Analysis of PARPs in D. discoideumA. Mehadvi Kawal, Hina A. Mir, Chethan Kumar Ramniklal et al.Problem statement: Dictyostelium discoideum, a unicellular eukaryote, exhibits multicellularity upon nutrient starvation, making it a better model for developmental studies and for the study of various signal transduction pathways. The most felicitous point of interest is that many of its genes show high degree of similarity to vertebrate genes. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a ubiquitous and abundant nuclear protein, has … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,852 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Meat-Derived Lactic Acid Bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum IIA, Expresses a Functional Parvulin-Like Protein with Unique Structural PropertyCahyo Budiman, Irma Isnafia Arief, Fernandes Opook, Muhammad YusufThe genome sequence of a Lactic Acid Bacterium (LAB) Lactobacillus plantarum IIA contains a single gene encoding a parvulin-like protein (Par-LpIIA). This protein belongs to Peptidyl Prolyl cis-trans Isomerase (PPIase) family proteins that catalyze a slow cis-trans isomerization of cis prolyl bond during protein folding. This study aims to provide molecular and biochemical evidences of the existence of Par-LpIIA in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2021 · 7,023 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBrevibacillus Thermoruber 9X-GLC, Bacteria Isolated from Hot Compost, Producer of a Beta-Glucosidase Resistant to Glucose InhibitionAlejandro Sosa-Peinado, María Eugenia Hidalgo-Lara, Miguel Ángel Plascencia-Espinosa et al.The thermotolerant strain Brevibacillus thermoruber 9X-GLC produces large amounts of β-D-glucosidase and cellobiohydrolase when grown on cellobiose and avicel. 9X-GLC was isolated from hot compost of sugarcane bagasse and filter mud and selected for its high enzymatic activity from a Bacilli collection of 77 isolates from soils and compost. Culture supernatants and ultrafiltered concentrates from shaken flask cultures of 9X-GLC … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 20 Oct 2017 · 8,153 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Characterization at the Atomic Level of a Molecular Nano-Machine: The State of the Art of Helicobacter Pylori Flagellum OrganizationIvana Pulić, Valentina Loconte, Giuseppe ZanottiMotility is fundamental for success in colonization and survival of the human pathogen H. pylori, the bacterium that colonizes about half of the human population. Motility is achieved through flagella. In this review the present structural knowledge about the organization of H. pylori flagella is summarized, considering not only the structure of its proteins, but also what is known about … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2014 · 8,310 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHOMOLOGY MODELING AND MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDIES OF EC1 DOMAIN OF VE-CADHERIN TO ELUCIDATE DOCKING INTERACTION WITH CADHERIN-DERIVED PEPTIDEVivitri Dewi Prasasty, Usman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Teruna Jaya SiahaanVE-cadherin is a protein in the cadherin family that is found at the adherens junctions of the microvessel endothelial cells of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB). It is recognized as the homotypic cell adhesion molecules and there is limited structural information on how VE-cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion. It has been shown that the EC1 domain of cadherins is important for the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,530 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStructural Consequences of the Polymorphism Q223R in the Human Leptin Receptor: A Molecular Dynamics StudyJonathan P. Carrillo-Vázquez, Brenda Chimal-Vega, Beatriz Zamora-López et al.Leptin Receptor (LEPR) is a component of a signaling pathway related to appetite and energy expenditure. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) of Leptin receptor gene (lepr) have been proposed as possible modulator of adipose tissue and body weight. The main phenomenological consequence reported of these SNPs is the modulation of the LEP-LEPR interaction promoting the weight gain. Particularly, Q223R polymorphism has … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2013 · 7,835 accessesView PDF Cite
