Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of β -lactoglobulin and its similarity to plasma retinol-binding protein
Miroslav Z. Papiz,Lindsay Sawyer,Elias Eliopoulos,Anthony C.T. North,John B. C. Findlay,R. Sivaprasadarao,T.A. Jones,M. E. Newcomer,P. J. Kraulis +8 more
TL;DR: A possible binding site for retinol in BLG has been identified by model-building and a role for BLG in vitamin A transport is suggested and specific receptors for the BLG–retinol complex in the intestine of neonate calves are discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The lipocalin protein family: structural and sequence overview.
TL;DR: The lipocalins are part of a larger protein superfamily: the calycins, which includes the fatty acid binding proteins, avidins, a group of metalloproteinase inhibitors, and triabin, and are characterised by a similar structure and by the conservation of a remarkable structural signature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bovine β-lactoglobulin at 1.8 Å resolution — still an enigmatic lipocalin
Sharon Brownlow,João H. Morais Cabral,Ron Cooper,Darren R. Flower,Stephen J. Yewdall,Igor Polikarpov,Anthony C.T. North,Lindsay Sawyer +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of β-Lg lattice Z at 3.0 A resolution by multiple isomorphous replacement and have partially refined it (R factor=24.8%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Pheromone binding to two rodent urinary proteins revealed by X-ray crystallography.
Zsolt Böcskei,Colin R. Groom,Darren R. Flower,Darren R. Flower,Charles Wright,Simon E. V. Phillips,Andrea Cavaggioni,John B. C. Findlay,Anthony C.T. North +8 more
TL;DR: Three-dimensional structures of mouse major urinary protein and rat urinary α2-globulin confirm the role of these proteins in pheromone transport and elaborate the structural basis of ligand binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and sequence relationships in the lipocalins and related proteins.
TL;DR: Similarities of structure and sequence within the two families suggests that they form part of a larger “structural superfamily”; this overall group is christened the calycins to reflect the cup‐shaped structure of its members.
