Lipid-Binding Proteins: A Family of Fatty Acid and Retinoid Transport Proteins
Leonard J. Banaszak,Nathan S. Winter,Zhaohui Xu,David A. Bernlohr,S. W. Cowan,Alwyn T. Jones +5 more
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the structural analyses and comparisons between members of a multigene family of hydrophobic ligand-binding proteins and provides a detailed comparison of intra- and extracellular lipid binding proteins with known crystal structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The expression pattern of a novel gene encoding brain-fatty acid binding protein correlates with neuronal and glial cell development
TL;DR: The partially overlapping expression pattern with that of cellular retinoid binding proteins suggests that B-FABP is involved in the metabolism of a so far unknown hydrophobic ligand with potential morphogenic activity during CNS development.

The protein kinase family: conserved features and deduced phylogeny of the catalytic domains.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic mapping of the conserved protein kinase catalytic domains can serve as a useful first step in the functional characterization of these newly identified family members.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene regulation by steroid hormones.
TL;DR: The location, orientation, and structure of the hormone regulatory elements (HRE) in nine hormonally modulated genes is described and a model for the interaction is proposed in which a dimer of the receptor in head-to-head orientation binds to the inverted symmetry element of the HRE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a receptor for the morphogen retinoic acid.
TL;DR: Analysis of complementary DNA encoding a novel gene product reveals striking similarity to the steroid and thyroid hormone receptors and Binding and transcription activational studies show it to be a receptor for the vitamin A-related morphogen retinoic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid binding to plasma albumin.
TL;DR: A review of the available information about fatty acid binding to plasma albumin is presented, and stepwise association constants for binding to human albumin of fatty acids containing 6-18 carbon atoms indicate that each mole of fatty acid binds with a different affinity.

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.
