Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor from rat liver.
TL;DR: The tertiary structure of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) from rat liver is presented and unexpected similarities were detected between MIF and two kinds of isomerase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure of nitric oxide reductase from denitrifying fungus Fusarium oxysporum.

TL;DR: Structures of nitric oxide reductase (NOR) in the ferric resting and the ferrous CO states have been solved at 2.0 Å resolution and provide significant new insights into how NO is reduced in biological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
A protein structural motif that bends DNA.
TL;DR: From the high‐resolution structure of HU, a model for this interaction with DNA is proposed andcial amino acid differences between the proteins can be rationalized in terms of their different specific functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The crystal structure of human MRP14 (S100A9), a Ca(2+)-dependent regulator protein in inflammatory process.
TL;DR: HMRP14 is distinguished from other S100 member proteins by its long C-terminal region, and its structure shows that the region is extensively flexible, which suggests that this region is a target-binding site of this protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escherichia coli positive regulator OmpR has a large loop structure at the putative RNA polymerase interaction site.
Hidemasa Kondo,Atsushi Nakagawa,Jun Nishihira,Yoshifumi Nishimura,Takeshi Mizuno,Isao Tanaka +5 more
TL;DR: The C-terminal DNA-binding domain of OmpR, a positive regulator involved in osmoregulation expression of the ompF and ompC genes in Escherichia coli, has a helix-turn-helix variant motif.
