  • They form a G-protein regulator family that also contains TPR repeats. (embl-heidelberg.de)
  • The domain family possesses multiple functions including the abilities to bind inositol phosphates, and various proteins. (embl.de)
  • Proteins bearing ncNLSs directly bind to one of the approximately 20 members of the importin family present in higher eukaryotes (72). (irjs.info)
  • The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases. (lookformedical.com)
  • To search for novel proteins that interact with Galphao, a mouse brain library was screened using the yeast two-hybrid interaction system. (embl-heidelberg.de)
  • Tyrosine protein kinases belonging to the Btk/Itk/Tec subfamily. (embl.de)
  • The function of specific proteins from this organism are the subject of intense scientific interest and have been used to derive basic understanding of the functioning similar proteins in higher eukaryotes. (lookformedical.com)
  • Structurally, β subunits are seven-blade propellers, each blade formed of a WD40 motif. (sigmaaldrich.com)
  • Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has widened the field of structure-based drug discovery by allowing for routine determination of membrane protein structures previously intractable. (stanford.edu)
  • The induced positive effects of analgesia and euphoria are mediated by μOR signalling through the adenylyl cyclase-inhibiting heterotrimeric G protein G i . (rcsb.org)
  • Despite the overall architectural similarity with our earlier structures of Ric-8A complexed to Galphaq and Galphai1, Ric-8B distinctly accommodates an extended loop found only in Galphas/olf proteins. (stanford.edu)
