TL;DR: Six structurally related flavonoids were investigated and quercetin, the most active compound, was docked into the crystal structure of 11beta-HSD1, indicating potential hydrogen bond interactions with hydroxyl groups of catalytic amino acid residues.

TL;DR: Length and terminal modification studies showed that the most potent d-polyarginine tested was nona-d-arginines (D9R) amide with a Ki of 1.3 nm, and D9R amide was shown to protect RAW264.7 cells against anthrax toxemia with an IC50 of 3.7 μm.

TL;DR: Data support the role of the leucine zipper in tetramer formation and predict that extension of this zipper will further stabilize the protein.
Abstract: Eukaryotic expression vectors designed to produce E. coli Lac repressor protein targeted to the nucleus of mammalian cells were constructed. These constructions carry the lac repressor gene (lacI) fused at different positions to a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) from either the SV40 large T antigen or the adenovirus E1a. When the NLS's were fused to the lacI gene at the 5' end, the protein produced exhibited tighter repression of beta-galactosidase expression than the unmodified LacI protein. Localization sequences at the extreme 3' end of the gene generally diminished induction by IPTG, while introduction of the SV40 NLS nine base pairs upstream of the 3' end eliminated repressor activity. When either NLS was placed at the 3' end behind a random nine base pair linker, the activity of the LacI protein depended on the sequence of the linker, and in 9 of 10 linkers tested, activity of the protein was adversely affected. The one exception was the fusion protein from p3'ss, which had the NLS at the 3' end of lacI behind the nine base pair linker, AGC AGC CTG (ser-ser-leu). This protein exhibited efficient nuclear accumulation, strong repressor activity and greater sensitivity to IPTG induction. The functional linker from the p3'ss fusion protein extends the leucine zipper heptad repeat located at the C-terminus of the protein. These data support the role of the leucine zipper in tetramer formation and predict that extension of this zipper will further stabilize the protein. This modified lacI gene should be valuable for improved adaptation of the prokaryotic regulatory system to eukaryotic cells.
