Receptor Binding Domains and Coronavirus Adaptation and Evolution
… is a viral membrane protein involved in host receptor binding and fusion of the viral and host cell membranes. Reported here is work performed on the spike proteins of two human common cold causing coronaviruses: HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43. Specifically, the X-ray crystal structures of the …

Glycan receptor binding determinants of Influenza A virus hemagglutinin
… hemagglutinin (HA), which changes its binding specificity towards glycan receptors in the human upper respiratory epithelia (referred to as human receptors). In this thesis, determinants that mediate changes in HA-glycan receptor binding specificity are investigated, with focus on the …

Generation and Characterization of Flavivirus Receptor-Binding Domain Mutants and Chimeras
… uncertain, but potentially involves the putative receptor-binding domain of the envelope glycoprotein, domain III (EIII). In order to determine the tolerance for heterologous sequences, and to characterize the role of EIII in virus growth and tissue tropism, chimeric viruses were generated using …

Study of Receptor Binding and Growth Effect of Gastrin Gene Products
… for its biological effect through the CCK2 receptor. Structure-functional studies of gastrin and the CCK2 receptor revealed the importance of Phe in residue 17 of gastrin in receptor recognition. Removal of Phe" abolishes the binding of gastrin to the human CCK2 receptor but leads to an …

Engineering and targeting glycan receptor binding of influenza A virus hemagglutinin
… the host infection by influenza A virus is the binding of the viral surface glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA) to the sialylated glycan receptors terminated by N-acetyineuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) expressed on the host cell surface. Glycans terminating in Neu5Ac that is a2-6 and a2-3 linked to the …

The effect of oral-hypoglycaemic drugs and obesity on insulin receptor binding
… is concerned with the regulation of insulin receptors, with respect to receptor number, affinity and certain postreceptor effects of insulin action. The Aston obese hyperglycaemic (ob/ob) mouse was used as an animal model of obesity and type 2, NID diabetes mellitus. Hepatocyte insulin …

Design, Synthesis and Biological Properties of Estrogen Receptor Binding Breast Tumor Localizing Agents
… in vitro evaluation for usefulness as estrogen receptor binding radiopharmaceuticals. Two of these compounds, 16(alpha)-bromoestradiol-17(beta) and 11(beta)-methoxy-16(alpha)-bromoestradiol-17(beta) exhibited high binding affinity for the estrogen receptor, and were predicted to exhibit high …

Investigating the role that Interleukin-10's receptor binding properties play in defining its biological activities
… naturally as a dimeric molecule which binds two receptor subunits: IL-10Rα and IL-10Rß. It has very poor affinity for the IL-10Rß receptor subunit and is unable to bind IL-10Rß in the absence of IL-10Rα (Walter, 2014). Using error-prone yeast display we were able to generate a variant of IL-10 …

The Effect of Retinoic Acid on Rai1 and Identification of Retinoic Acid Receptor Binding Site in Human Rai1
Previous studies showed haploinsufficiency of RAI1 is the main cause of Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS). SMS is a developmental neurobehavioral syndrome characterized by intellectual disability, congenital anomalies, obesity, neurobehavioral abnormalities, and disrupted circadian sleep-wake pattern. …

Determinants in the pandemic H3N2 influenza A virus hemagglutinin that affect receptor binding and transmission in the pig
Bij het ontstaan van pandemische influenzavirussen wordt een bijzondere rol toegeschreven aan het varken. Deze dieren zijn infecteerbaar met zowel aviaire, humane als porciene isolaten. Ze worden daarom verondersteld te functioneren als tussengastheer voor de overdracht van aviaire influenzagenen …

Energetic and dynamic characterization of the IgA1:FcαRI interaction reveals long-range conformational changes in IgA1 upon receptor binding
… immunoglobulin A (IgA) and the IgA-specific receptor, FcαRI, initiates a pro-inflammatory immune response in the presence of a multivalent antigen, and has recently been shown to possess an anti-inflammatory role in the absence of antigen. Additionally, soluble FcαRI has been implicated in …

Structure-activity relationship of octreotide analogues labeled with rhenium and technetium-99m
… (S₂N₂ and S₃N) were developed. Their in vitro receptor binding affinity toward somatostatin receptors was measured via IC₅₀ studies. In vitro stability studies were carried out under physiological conditions on ⁹⁹[superscript-m]Tc-cyclized analogues in phosphate buffered saline, mouse serum, …

The Effects of Chronic Ethanol on GABA Receptors in the Nonhuman Primate Brain
… ethanol increases the function of the GABAA receptor, while chronic ethanol decreases function. Rodent studies have reported changes in gene and protein levels, receptor function, and receptor binding density in GABAA receptors and subunits after chronic ethanol, and changes in GABAB gene and …
