Cells assemble protein networks through regions of protein recognition that are found in numerous proteins as conserved peptide motifs. This allows for the specific and efficient communication of ...

Jakob Nilsson, PhD, is a professor at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research at the University of Copenhagen, where his group focuses on how short linear motifs and their role in ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA ...

One type of protein interaction mediated by the unstructured proteome involves short linear motifs (SLiMs), abundant stretches of up to 10 amino acids. Their interactions with other proteins are ...

The following is a summary of “Recognition of glycine versus non-glycine citrulline motifs dictates the HLA class II association of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies - insights from autoantibody ...

Proteins often interact with other proteins to form complexes or networks that carry out specific biological functions. These interactions can be transient or stable and are mediated by specific ...

However, already-known sections of the two proteins, so-called CENPC-k/CENPC motifs, are insufficient to establish a connection to the centromere. In a first step, they can only recognize the ...
