  1. 1. Biophysical characterization of protein-protein interactions involving intrinsically disordered proteins

    Author : Ida Nyqvist; Jakob Dogan; Ivarsson Ylva; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Intrinsically disordered proteins; Protein-protein interactions; Disorder-to-order transition; Rate-limiting transition state; Ф-value analysis; NMR relaxation; Side-chain dynamics; Backbone dynamics; Conformational entropy change; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Abstract : Intrinsically disordered proteins and regions (IDPs/Rs) are proteins that do not form stable and well-defined structures in their free states but rather occupy an ensemble of conformations that change over time while still staying functional. They are prevalent in the eukaryotic proteome and are involved in various vital processes in the cell where they often interact with their binding partners through coupled binding and folding reactions.

  2. 2. Regulation of the multi-functional protein YscU in assembly of the Yersinia type III secretion injectisome

    Author : Ho Ngoc Hoang Oanh; Magnus Wolf-Watz; Anna Linusson Jonsson; Maria Sunnerhagen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Type III secretion system T3SS ; injectisome; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; inhibitors; Yops; YscU; YscP; YscI; disorder-to-order transition; nuclear magnetic resonance NMR ; circular dichroism CD ; isothermal titration calorimetry ITC ; biologisk kemi; biological chemistry;

    Abstract : Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-negative zoonotic pathogenic bacterium causing gastroenteritis in human and animals. It shares a conserved virulence plasmid encoding for a needle-like secretion machinery, or type III secretion system, which can be found in other pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. READ MORE

  3. 3. Characterization and Engineering of Protein-Protein Interactions Involving PDZ Domains

    Author : Andreas Karlsson; Per Jemth; Daniel Otzen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intrinsically disordered protein regions; PDZ domain; binding kinetics; protein engineering; interaction mechanism; specificity; PDZbody; Chemistry with specialization in Biophysics; Kemi med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis has contributed with knowledge to several aspects of protein-protein interaction involving PDZ domains. A substantial amount of our proteome contains regions that are intrinsically disordered but fold upon ligand interaction. READ MORE
