Characterization of a family of cysteine rich proteins and development of a MaSp1 derived miniature fibroin
… of MaSp1. We also characterize a family of small cysteine-rich proteins (CRPs) and demonstrate that these factors are present within the spinning dope of the major ampullate gland using MS analysis. Biochemical studies and characterization of one of the family members, CRP1, demonstrate that this …

IDENTIFICAZIONE DI UNA NUOVA CAUSA GENETICA IN UN CASO FAMILIARE DI ENCEFALOMIOPATIA MITOCONDRIALE E DEFICIT DI CITOCROMO C OSSIDASI.
… in the DRS that drives the import of small IMS proteins to their final localization. Briefly, the DRS consists of two essential components: the sulfhydryl oxidase Erv1 (homolog to human GFER) and the redox-regulated import receptor Mia40. The DRS drives the import of cysteine-rich proteins into …

Assessing Helicobacter pylori's HcpE and DsbK's Effects on Immunostimulation in Host Gastric Cells
… is essential. HcpE, a member of the Helicobacter cysteine-rich proteins (Hcps) family, contains the largest number of cysteine residues and is secreted extracellularly. Its structure is made of Sel-Like Repeats (SLR) motifs–stabilized by disulfide bonds–which are important in protein-protein …

HcpE, a potential immuno-modulatory protein from Helicobacter pylori that is dependent on the Disulfide bond protein DsbHP
… gastric cancer. H. pylori produces Helicobacter cysteine rich protein HcpE, a secreted protein which may play a role in virulence. In this study we show that HcpE is secreted in the culture supernatant both as a soluble protein and in association with outer membrane vesicles, and may play a role …

Biosynthetic and bioinformatic investigation of RiPPs with radical SAM-installed crosslinks
… is also an emerging modality in RiPP-like large proteins modified by RiPP-associated enzymes. In Chapter 4, we investigate a large cystine rich protein (CrpA; >10% cysteine content) that is modified by an rSAM enzyme. Bioinformatic analysis of prokaryotes identified that methanogenic archaea have …

THE ROLE OF NRF2 IN PREVENTING OXIDATIVE/ELECTROPHILIC STRESS-INDUCED LIVER INJURY
… Nrf2-null mice. Surprisingly, metallothioneins, cysteine-rich proteins that scavenge cadmium to prevent toxicity, were induced markedly in both Nrf2-null and Nrf2-enhanced mice. Thus, there are at least two distinct pathways to protect cadmium-induced toxicity: Nrf2-dependent induction of …
