Each recombinant protein has unique physicochemical properties and requires different machinery for proper folding, assembly, and post-translational modifications (PTMs). Here we aimed to identify the machinery supporting recombinant protein secretion by measuring the protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks of four different recombinant proteins (SERPINA1, SERPINC1, SERPING1 and SeAP) with various PTMs and structural motifs using the proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) method. We identified PPIs associated with specific features of the secreted proteins using a Bayesian statistical model, and found proteins involved in protein folding, disulfide bond formation and N-glycosylation were positively correlated with the corresponding features of the four model proteins. Among others, oxidative folding enzymes showed the strongest association with disulfide bond formation, supporting their critical roles in proper folding and maintaining the ER stability. Knock down of ERP44, a measured interactor with the highest fold change, led to the decreased secretion of SERPINC1, which relies on its extensive disulfide bonds. Proximity-dependent labeling successfully identified the transient interactions supporting synthesis of secreted recombinant proteins and refined our understanding of key molecular mechanisms of the secretory pathway during recombinant protein production.

GH1 enzymes hydrolyse that requires cooperation with heparan sulfate proteoglycans, glycosidic linkages between carbohydrate moieties (http://www.cazy. which function as co-receptors for FGFR activation1,2.

In each hormones that regulate critical metabolic processes in a variety of the sKLB domains, one of these two ‘catalytic’ glutamates is replaced of tissues3,4. FGF19 regulates bile acid synthesis and lipogenesis, by another amino acid (Fig. 1d–f): the first glutamate in D1 is replaced whereas FGF21 stimulates insulin sensitivity, energy expenditure by Asn241, and the second glutamate in D2 is replaced by Ala889.

Abstract Background: Protein structures have conserved features – motifs, which have a sufficient influence on the protein function. These motifs can be found in sequence as well as in 3D space. Understanding of these fragments is essential for 3D structure prediction, modelling and drug- design. The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is the source of this information however present search tools have limited 3D options to integrate protein sequence with its 3D structure. Results: We describe here a web application for querying the PDB for ligands, binding sites, small 3D structural and sequence motifs and the underlying database. Novel algorithms for chemical fragments, 3D motifs, ϕ/ψ sequences, super-secondary structure motifs and for small 3D structural motif associations searches are incorporated. The interface provides functionality for visualization, search criteria creation, sequence and 3D multiple alignment options.

The performance enhancement of these catalytic systems largely requires the precise control over the structure with the lowest Pt amount yet high activity to mitigate the high cost of Pt-based nanomaterials. Specific surfactant molecules have been widely employed to manipulate the morphologies and assemblies of nanostructures. Thus rational designs of the surfactants become very significant. In nature, a lot of biomaterials evolved well-developed nanostructures with unique properties through long-time natural selection using biomolecules as the surfactant. Compared with traditional trial-and-error design, biomimetic design ii provides more rational controls leading to new synthetic design for nanostructures. In this thesis, synthesis and assembly of Pt-based nanocrystals and the mechanisms were studied.
