Signal peptide peptidase
In molecular biology the Signal Peptide Peptidase (SPP) is a type of protein that specifically cleaves parts of other proteins. It is an intramembrane aspartyl protease with the conserved active […]
Prolyl isomerase
Prolyl isomerase (also known as peptidylprolyl isomerase or PPIase) is an enzyme (EC 5.2.1.8) found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that interconverts the cis and trans isomers of peptide bonds […]
Anthrax toxin
Anthrax toxin is a three-protein exotoxin secreted by virulent strains of the bacterium Bacillus anthracis—the causative agent of anthrax. The toxin was first discovered by Harry Smith in 1954. Anthrax […]
Interleukin 23 subunit alpha
Interleukin-23 subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL23A gene. IL-23 is produced by dendritic cells and macrophages. This gene encodes the p19 subunit of […]
Estrogen-related receptor
The ERRs are orphan nuclear receptors meaning the identity of their endogenous ligand has yet to be unambiguously determined. They are named because of sequence homology with estrogen receptors but […]
Thioredoxin fold
The thioredoxin fold is a protein fold common to enzymes that catalyze disulfide bond formation and isomerization. The fold is named for the canonical example thioredoxin and is found in […]
MYD88
Myeloid differentiation primary response gene (88) (MYD88) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYD88 gene.
Barstar
Barstar is a small protein synthesized by the bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Its function is to inhibit the ribonuclease activity of its binding partner barnase with which it forms an extraordinarily […]
Barnase
Barnase (a portmanteau of BActerial RiboNucleASE) is a bacterial protein that consists of 110 amino acids and has ribonuclease activity. It is synthesized and secreted by the bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens […]
