The signaling protein CrkII switches between forms with high or low binding affinity. Both phosphorylation and native-state prolyl isomerization were suggested to regulate the transition between these forms. Here we analyzed how phosphorylation at Tyr222 and Tyr252 and the Pro238Ala substitution affect signal transfer of human and chicken CrkII to a downstream target. Human CrkII is regulated by phosphorylation only, but chicken CrkII is regulated by Pro238 trans→cis isomerization and by Tyr222 phosphorylation. Surprisingly, they act in an independent fashion. Apparently, the allosteric transition to a low-activity form can be induced by phosphorylation or prolyl isomerization located at distant sites in CrkII.

The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is implicated in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. During I/R, elevated mitochondrial Ca triggers mPTP opening, leading to necrotic cell death. Although nonessential regulators of this pore are characterized, the molecular identity of the pore-forming component remains elusive.

How can a single protein domain encode a conformational landscape with multiple stably folded states, and how do those states interconvert? Here, we use real-time and relaxation-dispersion NMR to characterize the conformational landscape of the circadian rhythm protein KaiB from . Unique among known natural metamorphic proteins, this KaiB variant spontaneously interconverts between two monomeric states: the "Ground" and "Fold-switched" (FS) states. KaiB in its FS state interacts with multiple binding partners, including the central KaiC protein, to regulate circadian rhythms.

Background: The prevalence of isolates resistant to first-line beta-lactam drugs is increasing, resulting in reduced treatment efficacy. Investigating the bacterial transcriptome and proteome can uncover links between bacterial genes and resistance mechanisms. In this study, we experimentally assessed in vitro the transcriptional and proteomic profiles of exposed to SICs of meropenem, an effective antimicrobial agent, collected from patients with intra-abdominal diseases at Astana City Hospital, Kazakhstan.

Article Synopsis
- Eukaryotic cells make many important proteins that get moved into a special area called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to be folded properly.
- A special helper protein called FKBP11 works in the ER to help these proteins fold correctly, especially those that are secreted or are part of the cell membrane.
- When FKBP11 is missing or less active, some proteins don’t stay stable and could cause problems in the cell.

Peptidyl-prolyl / isomerases (PPIases) are present in a wide variety of microorganisms, including protozoan parasites such as , , , , , , , , , , and , all of which cause important neglected diseases. PPIases are classified as cyclophilins, FKBPs, or parvulins and play crucial roles in catalyzing the isomerization of the peptide bond preceding a proline residue. This activity assists in correct protein folding.
