The fluorescent probe anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate binds to adipocyte lipid binding protein at a site that competes with normal physiological ligands, such as fatty acids. Binding to the protein is accompanied by a relatively large increase in …
The crystal and solution structures of all of the intracellular lipid binding proteins (iLBPs) reveal a common beta-barrel framework with only small local perturbations. All existing evidence points to the binding cavity and a poorly delimited …
Adipocyte lipid-binding protein (ALBP) is a small (14.5 kDa) 10-stranded beta-barrel protein found in mammalian fat cells. The crystal structures of various holo-forms of ALBP have been solved and show the fatty acid ligand bound in a large …
A number of crystallographic studies of the adipocyte lipid-binding protein have established that the fatty acid-binding site is within an internalized water-filled cavity. The same studies have also suggested the existence of a region physically …
The physiological consequences of molecular chaperone overproduction in Escherichia coli are presented. Constitutive overproduction of DnaK from a multicopy plasmid containing large chromosomal fragments spanning the dnaK region resulted in plasmid …
