CHARACTERIZATION OF THE STRUCTURE AND BINDING OF BRANCHED K6/K48-LINKED AND BRANCHED K6/63-LINKED POLYUBIQUITIN CHAINS
(2021)
Ubiquitin (Ub) is an important post-translational protein modifier in eukaryotes. Post-translational modification with Ub is an essential process for eukaryotic cellular signaling including protein degradation, DNA repair, ...
EPIGENETICS TUNE CHROMATIN MECHANICS, A COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH
(2021)
The base unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotes, the nucleosome, is adaptively modified for epigenetic control. Given the vast chemical space of chromatin and complexity of signaling and expression, much of our knowledge about ...
PLASTICITY IN PROTEIN SEQUENCE-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS
(2021)
Allostery is defined as the functional regulation at one site in a protein by activity at a distant site. Because of the ubiquitous occurrence and diverse cellular roles of allosteric proteins, designing novel allosteric ...
THE UNIQUE PROPERTIES OF BRANCHED K11/K48-LINKED POLYUBIQUITIN, AND THE PROTEASOMAL RECOGNITION OF (POLY)UBIQUITIN AND UBIQUITIN-LIKE SIGNALS BY RPN1
(2021)
Post-translational modification of substrates with ubiquitin (Ub) is an essential process across all eukaryotes, responsible for regulating a myriad of cellular pathways. Many aspects of ubiquitination are extensively ...
COMBINED CHEMICAL AND ENZYMATIC APPROACHES TO PROTEIN GLYCOSYLATION
(2021)
Glycosylation is a key post-translational modification of proteins and influences the structure and biological functions of proteins. Glycoproteins are significant in treating a variety of diseases and make up a large ...
Structural and Biophysical Characterization of Homo Sapiens RIOK2 in Complex with Selective Prostate Cancer Inhibitors and its Transition State Complex
(2021)
Homo sapiens Riok2 (HsRiok2) is an atypical, Ser/Thr protein kinase that has been implicated in a number of cancers, including Prostate Cancer. More recently, evidence has shown that HsRiok2 plays a biological role in the ...
BIOCHEMICAL AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF NUSG PARALOG LOAP
(2021)
The NusG family of transcription factors is the only universally conserved family of transcription elongation regulators in all three domains of life. NusG proteins exert ubiquitous genetic regulatory effects by reversibly ...
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PRMT5-RIOK1-NUCLEOLIN COMPLEX
(2021)
Protein methylation is one of the most important protein post-translational modifications. Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) catalyzes the mono- and symmetric dimethylation of arginine residues of a wide range ...
BIOPHYSICAL STUDIES OF UBIQUITIN: FROM FOLDING TO PROTEIN ENGINEERING
(2021)
The signaling protein ubiquitin is known for its ubiquity — existing in nearly all cel- lular compartments, holding a prominent role in major cellular signaling pathways and serving as a model system for protein folding. ...
