Addressing the Functional Determinants of FAK during Ciliogenesis in Multiciliated Cells
(2017)We previously identified focal adhesion kinase (FAK) as an important regulator of ciliogenesis in multiciliated cells. FAK and other focal adhesion (FA) proteins associate with the basal bodies and their striated rootlets ...

Computational protein design with a generalized born solvent model: Application to asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase
(2011)Computational Protein Design (CPD) is a promising method for high throughput protein and ligand mutagenesis. Recently, we developed a CPD method that used a polar-hydrogen energy function for protein interactions and a ...

Deficiencies in the Fanconi Anemia DNA damage response pathway increase sensitivity to HPV-associated head and neck cancer
(2010)Patients with the rare genetic disease, Fanconi anemia (FA), are highly susceptible to squamous cell carcinomas arising at multiple anatomic sites including the head and neck region. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs), particularly ...

Design of a modified mouse protein with ligand binding properties of its human analog by molecular dynamics simulations: The case of C3 inhibition by compstatin
(2011)The peptide compstatin and its derivatives inhibit the complement-component protein C3 in primate mammals and are potential therapeutic agents against the unregulated activation of complement in humans, but are inactive ...

Model investigations for vanadium-protein interactions: Vanadium(III) compounds with dipeptides and their oxovanadium(IV) analogues
(2002)The reaction of VCl3 with 1,10-phenanthroline and a series of dipeptides (H2dip), having aliphatic as well as aromatic side chains, in methyl alcohol and in the presence of triethylamine affords vanadium(III) compounds of ...

N-alpha-terminal Acetylation of Histone H4 Regulates Arginine Methylation and Ribosomal DNA Silencing
(2013)Post-translational modifications of histones play a key role in DNA-based processes, like transcription, by modulating chromatin structure. N-terminal acetylation is unique among the numerous histone modifications because ...

Polarized distribution of Bcr-Abl in migrating myeloid cells and co-localization of Bcr-Abl and its target proteins
(1999)Bcr-Abl plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia. Although a large number of substrates and interacting proteins of Bcr-Abl have been identified, it remains unclear whether ...

Recognition of ribonuclease A by 3′-5′-pyrophosphate-linked dinucleotide inhibitors: A molecular dynamics/continuum electrostatics analysis
(2007)The proteins of the pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) family catalyze the cleavage of the RNA polymer chain. The development of RNase inhibitors is of significant interest, as some of these compounds may have a therapeutic ...

Species specificity of the complement inhibitor compstatin investigated by all-atom molecular dynamics simulations
(2010)The development of compounds to regulate the activation of the complement system in non-primate species is of profound interest because it can provide models for human diseases. The peptide compstatin inhibits protein C3 ...
