MPN+, a putative catalytic motif found in a subset of MPN domain proteins from eukaryotes and prokaryotes, is critical for Rpn11 function
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background Three macromolecular assemblages, the lid complex of the proteasome, the COP9-Signalosome (CSN) and the eIF3 complex, all consist of multiple proteins... -

Partial identification by site-directed mutagenesis of a cell growth inhibitory site on the human galectin-1 molecule
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background Previous work, by us and others, has shown that mammalian galectins-1 have a growth-inhibitory activity for mammalian cells which is apparently independent... -

Site-specific mutations of FtsZ - effects on GTPase and in vitro assembly
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background FtsZ, the major cytoskeletal protein in bacterial cytokinesis, assembles in vitro into protofilaments, which can further associate into sheets, bundles or...
