  1. 16. Transthyretin and the transthyretin-related protein: A structural study

    Författare :Erik Lundberg; A. Elisabeth Sauer-Eriksson; Lennart Sjölin; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transthyretin; Transthyretin-related protein; X-ray crystallography; Protein structure; Amyloidosis; Structural biology; Strukturbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Transthyretin (TTR) is one of several proteins involved in amyloid disease in humans. Unknown conformational changes of the native state of TTR result in aggregation of TTR molecules into amyloid fibrils, which accumulate in extracellular tissues. This may result in different clinical symptoms, e.g. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Structural Studies of Binding Proteins: Investigations of Flexibility, Specificity and Stability

    Författare :Ulrika Magnusson; Sherry L. Mowbray; Anthony J. Wikinson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Periplasmic binding protein; X-ray crystallography; conformational change; acidophile; protein specificity; protein structure; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Binding proteins are present both in gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. They are the recognition components of the ABC transport systems that transport different nutrients into the cell, and are in some cases also involved in chemotaxis. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Protein Profiling and Type 2 Diabetes

    Författare :Tea Sundsten; Peter Bergsten; Leif Jansson; Maria Sörhede Winzell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Cell biology; Type 2 diabetes; Protein profiling; SELDI-TOF MS; Proteomics; Cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a heterogeneous disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the pathogenesis. The disease is characterized by alterations in many genes and their products. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Functional studies and engineering of family 1 carbohydrate-binding modules

    Författare :Janne Lehtiö; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Cellulose-binding; carbohydrate-binding modules; phage display; bacterial surface display; combinatorial protein library; protein engineering; Trichoderma reesei; Staphylococcus carnosus;

    Sammanfattning : The family 1 cellulose-binding modules (CBM1) form a groupof small, stable carbohydrate-binding proteins. These modulesare essential for fungal cellulosedegradation. This thesisdescribes both functional studies of the CBM1s as well asprotein engineering of the modules for several objectives. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Molecular mechanisms underlying morphological effects of protein kinase C under normal conditions and cellular stress

    Författare :Lovisa Sunesson; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuroblastoma; amytrophic lateral sclerosis; PABPC1; IGF2BP3; G3BP2; peripherin; C1 domain; protein-protein-interactions; Protein kinase C; neurite outgrowth;

    Sammanfattning : The protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases consists of 10-15 members. The PKC isoforms have central roles in many essential cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, cytoskeletal changes, and migration. LÄS MER
