RPL13
60S ribosomal protein L13 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''RPL13'' gene. Function Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the L13E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This gene is expressed at significantly higher levels in benign breast lesions than in breast carcinomas. Transcript variants derived from alternative splicing and/or alternative polyadenylation exist; these variants encode the same protein. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Interactions RPL13 has been shown to Protein-protein interaction, interact with CDC5L. Bbc1 Bbc1 (Mti1p) is a protein ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ribosomal Protein
A ribosomal protein (r-protein or rProtein) is any of the proteins that, in conjunction with rRNA, make up the ribosomal subunits involved in the cellular process of translation. ''E. coli'', other bacteria and Archaea have a 30S small subunit and a 50S large subunit, whereas humans and yeasts have a 40S small subunit and a 60S large subunit. Equivalent subunits are frequently numbered differently between bacteria, Archaea, yeasts and humans. A large part of the knowledge about these organic molecules has come from the study of '' E. coli'' ribosomes. All ribosomal proteins have been isolated and many specific antibodies have been produced. These, together with electronic microscopy and the use of certain reactives, have allowed for the determination of the topography of the proteins in the ribosome. More recently, a near-complete (near)atomic picture of the ribosomal proteins is emerging from the latest high-resolution cryo-EM data (including ). Conservation Ribosomal prot ...

CDC5L
Cell division cycle 5-like protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''CDC5L'' gene. Function The protein encoded by this gene shares a significant similarity with ''Schizosaccharomyces pombe'' cdc5 gene product, which is a cell cycle regulator important for G2/ M transition. This protein has been demonstrated to act as a positive regulator of cell cycle G2/M progression. It was also found to be an essential component of a non-snRNA spliceosome, which contains at least five additional protein factors and is required for the second catalytic step of pre-mRNA splicing. Interactions CDC5L has been shown to interact with: * ASF/SF2, * BZW1, * CWC15, * DNA-PKcs, * DYNC1H1, * GCN1L1, * HSPA8, * ILF2, * PLRG1, * PPM1D, * PPP1CA, * PRPF19, * RBMX and * RPL12, * RPL13, * RPS16, * RPS25, * SF3A1, * SF3B1, * SF3B2, * SF3B4, * SFPQ, * SFRS2, * SNRPA1, * SNRPD3, * SRRM1, * Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein D1, * Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein D2, ...

Protein
Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, providing structure to cells and organisms, and transporting molecules from one location to another. Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which usually results in protein folding into a specific 3D structure that determines its activity. A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide. A protein contains at least one long polypeptide. Short polypeptides, containing less than 20–30 residues, are rarely considered to be proteins and are commonly called peptides. The individual amino acid residues are bonded together by peptide bonds and adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acid residue ...

Myosin
Myosins () are a superfamily of motor proteins best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes. They are ATP-dependent and responsible for actin-based motility. The first myosin (M2) to be discovered was in 1864 by Wilhelm Kühne. Kühne had extracted a viscous protein from skeletal muscle that he held responsible for keeping the tension state in muscle. He called this protein ''myosin''. The term has been extended to include a group of similar ATPases found in the cells of both striated muscle tissue and smooth muscle tissue. Following the discovery in 1973 of enzymes with myosin-like function in '' Acanthamoeba castellanii'', a global range of divergent myosin genes have been discovered throughout the realm of eukaryotes. Although myosin was originally thought to be restricted to muscle cells (hence '' myo-''(s) + '' -in''), there is no single "myosin"; rather it is a very large superfamily of genes whose p ...

WIPF1
WAS/WASL-interacting protein (WIP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''WIPF1'' gene. Function This gene encodes a protein that plays an important role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Overexpression of WIP in mammalian cells has been shown to increase actin polymerization. The encoded protein binds to a region of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein that is frequently mutated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, an X-linked recessive disorder. Impairment of the interaction between these two proteins may contribute to the disease. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene. In patients lacking the WIPF1 gene WASp protein levels are depleted and WAS symptoms present. Interactions WIP has been shown to Protein-protein interaction, interact with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein, WASL (gene), N-WASp, Cortactin, NCK1, MYO1E, MYO1e and Intersectin 1, ITSN1. While Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp)is expressed only in Hem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
