  • Parts derived from human and yeast proteins are outlined with solid and dashed lines, respectively. (biorxiv.org)
  • The enzyme breaks down elastin, the specific protein of elastic fibers, and digests other proteins such as fibrin, hemoglobin, and albumin. (lookformedical.com)
  • The "self"-protein albumin in mouse airway fluid was uniquely modified by GSH-MDI at position 414K, a preferred site of MDI reactivity on human albumin. (cdc.gov)
  • The 414K-MDI conjugation appears to covalently cross- link GSH to albumin via GSH's NH2-terminus, a unique conformation possibly resulting from cyclized mono(GSH)-MDI or asymmetric ( S , N -linked) bis(GSH)-MDI conjugates. (cdc.gov)
  • The drawing depicts a generic amyloid fibril precursor protein (1) in equilibrium with a partially unfolded, molten, globulelike form of the protein (2) and its completely denatured state (3). (medscape.com)
  • The amyloidogenic precursor proteins in patients with familial renal amyloidosis are thought to be less stable than their wild-type counterparts, causing them to populate intermediate, molten, globulelike states more readily. (medscape.com)
  • In addition to PufX, a previously unrecognized integral membrane protein, referred to as protein-U, was identified in the core complex. (nature.com)
  • These examples epitomize why the expression levels of the subunits of a complex evolve to be co-regulated. (biomedcentral.com)
