Amyloid Fibrils03:03

Amyloid Fibrils

10.3K
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins.  Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils. 
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen.   In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis01:20

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis

10.3K
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is when bulk amounts of specific molecules are imported into a cell after binding to cell surface receptors. The molecules bound to these receptors are taken into the cell through inward folding of the cell surface membrane, which is eventually pinched off into a vesicle within the cell. Structural proteins, such as clathrin, coat the budding vesicle.

One well-characterized example of receptor-mediated endocytosis is the...

Formation of Lipopolysaccharides

1.1K
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are crucial components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, serving both structural and functional roles. It contributes to membrane stability and protects bacteria from host immune responses. LPS is composed of three major regions—lipid A, a core oligosaccharide, and an O antigen. The biosynthesis and assembly of LPS involve a highly coordinated set of enzymatic reactions and transport mechanisms. Additionally, LPS is recognized as an endotoxin,...

Bacterial Toxins01:12

Bacterial Toxins

154
Bacterial toxins are sophisticated virulence factors that enable pathogenic bacteria to interact with, invade, and damage host tissues. These toxins fall broadly into two types: protein exotoxins, which are secreted into the environment and target specific host receptors, and lipopolysaccharide endotoxins, which are structural components of the bacterial outer membrane released primarily during bacterial lysis or membrane shedding. Exotoxins generally act more selectively, binding to cell...

Diphtheria01:28

Diphtheria

187
Diphtheria is an acute, toxin-mediated infectious disease that primarily affects the upper respiratory tract. It is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a Gram-positive, pleomorphic rod that lacks spore-forming capability and exhibits a characteristic club-shaped morphology under microscopic examination. While C. diphtheriae can asymptomatically colonize mucosal surfaces, clinical disease manifests only when the bacterial strain is lysogenized by a specific β-corynephage. This phage...

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología estructural Biología estructural.
  • La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
  • La patogénesis molecular es la patogénesis molecular.

Sus antecedentes:

  • El factor letal del ántrax (LF) es una proteína clave en la patogénesis del ántrax.
  • La LF funciona como una proteasa específica, inhibiendo las vías cruciales de señalización celular mediante la escisión de las proteína quinasa-cinasas activadas por mitógeno (MAPKK).

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Para dilucidar la estructura tridimensional de LF.
  • Para caracterizar la base estructural de la interacción de la LF con su sustrato, MAPKK-2.

Principales métodos:

  • Se empleó cristalografía de rayos X para determinar la estructura de la LF.
  • Se analizó la estructura cristalina del complejo N-terminal LF-MAPKK-2.

Principales resultados:

  • El LF posee una estructura de cuatro dominios (I, II, III, IV).
  • El dominio I interactúa con el antígeno protector (AP).
  • Los dominios II, III y IV forman una ranura que une y escinde la cola N-terminal del MAPKK-2. El dominio IV contiene el sitio catalítico. El análisis evolutivo sugiere que la duplicación genética, la mutación y la fusión contribuyeron a la estructura y la especificidad de la LF.

Conclusiones:

  • La estructura cristalina determinada proporciona información sobre el mecanismo de acción de la LF.
  • La organización única del dominio y la historia evolutiva de LF explican su alta especificidad de sustrato en la inhibición de las vías de señalización MAPKK.
