Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential assistance of molecular chaperones and transient formation of covalent complexes during protein degradation from the ER
TL;DR: The unexpected transient formation of covalent complexes in the ER lumen during the ERAD process is reported, and PDI participates as an oxidoreductase and a redox-driven chaperone in the preparation of proteins for degradation from the mammalian ER.
Journal ArticleDOI
A VEGF-A splice variant defective for heparan sulfate and neuropilin-1 binding shows attenuated signaling through VEGFR-2.
S. Cébe Suarez,Michel Pieren,L. Cariolato,S. Arn,U. Hoffmann,A. Bogucki,C. Manlius,J. Wood,Kurt Ballmer-Hofer +8 more
TL;DR: VEGF-A165b has attenuated signaling potential through VEGF receptor 2 defining this new member of the V EGF family as a partial receptor agonist.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of calnexin and calreticulin by cellular and viral glycoproteins.
TL;DR: It is reported here that most calnexin substrates do not associate with calreticulin even upon selective cal Nexin inactivation, while BiP associates more abundantly with nascent polypeptides under these conditions, showing stronger dependence of model viral glycoproteins on endoplasmic reticulum lectins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure of the orf virus NZ2 variant of vascular endothelial growth factor-E : Implications for receptor specificity
Michel Pieren,Andrea E. Prota,Claudia Ruch,Dirk Kostrewa,Armin Wagner,Katrin Biedermann,Fritz K. Winkler,Kurt Ballmer-Hofer +7 more
TL;DR: The crystal structure of V EGF-E NZ2 described here reveals high similarity to the known structural homologs VEGF-A, PlGF, and the snake venoms Vammin and VR-1, which are all homodimers and contain the characteristic cysteine knot motif.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure determination of VEGF-E by sulfur SAD.
TL;DR: The crystal structure of VEGF-E was solved by the sulfur single-wavelength anomalous dispersion method (S-SAD) using highly redundant low-resolution data collected at a wavelength of lambda approximately 1.7 A with an estimated anomalous signal of 1.5%.
