  1. 1. Evolutionary Analysis and Posttranslational Chemical Modifications in Protein Redesign : A Study on Mu Class Glutathione Transferases

    Författare :Ylva Ivarsson; Bengt Mannervik; Gun Stenberg; Richard N. Armstrong; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biochemistry; glutathione transferase; evolutionary analysis; positive selection; epoxide; stereoselectivity; protein modification; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Glutathione transferases (GSTs) constitute a family of multifarious enzymes that conjugate glutathione (GSH) with a wide range of electrophiles. GSTs are grouped into different classes based on protein sequence similarities. Despite high sequence identities between GSTs of the same class they often display different substrate specificites.

  3. 2. Exploring conditional motif-based protein interactions in health and disease

    Författare :Johanna Kliche; Ylva Ivarsson; Ulrich Stelzl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ProP-PD; protein-protein interaction; short linear motif; phosphorylation; disease mutation; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) orchestrate a variety of cellular events, ranging from signal transduction, scaffolding to subcellular localisation. A subclass of PPIs is mediated by short linear motifs, which are short amino acid stretches found in the intrinsically disordered regions of the proteome. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Identification of SLiMs: Mapping and characterizing motif-based protein interactions

    Författare :Muhammad Ali; Ylva Ivarsson; Shoshana Wodak; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phage display; protein-protein interactions; short linear motifs; PDZ; FERM; affinity; x-ray crystallization; molecular docking; NLS;

    Sammanfattning : During the last twenty years it has become evident that about 35-40% of amino acids in the proteome are in regions that have evolved to remain unstructured. These intrinsically disordered regions contain short linear motifs (SLiMs), which serve as docking sites for protein-protein interactions. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Diving into short linear motifs : Large-scale identification of endogenous and host-pathogen protein-protein interactions and further characterized by deep mutational scanning

    Författare :Caroline Benz; Ylva Ivarsson; Birthe B. Kragelund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein-protein interactions; short linear motif; endogenous interactions; host-pathogen; viral hijacking; deep mutational scanning; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Short linear motifs (SLiMs) are protein-protein interaction sites that play an essential role in distinct cellular processes. Those interactions are challenging to capture by common high-throughput methods. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Development of new affinity proteins for neurodegenerative disorders

    Författare :Linnea C. Hjelm; John Löfblom; Stefan Ståhl; Hanna Lindberg; Ylva Ivarsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein engineering; sequestrins; amyloid beta; alpha-synuclein; phage display; affibodies; blood–brain barrier; Transferrin receptor; receptor-mediated transcytosis; recombinant spider silk; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Sammanfattning : Neurodegenerative disorders include a full spectrum of diagnoses, including dementias and other neuronal diseases, characterised by degradation of neurons in the brain occurring along with disease progression. Amongst the dementias, the most prevalent are Alzheimer’s (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) that affect millions of people worldwide. LÄS MER
