1. Caracterização molecular da interação entre proteínas de citros envolvidas no controle da expressão gênica e a proteína efetora bacteriana PthA, indutorra do cancro cítrico / Molecular characterization of the interaction between citrus proteins involved in gene transcription control and the effector protein PthA, a citrus canker disease inductor
O cancro cítrico, causado pela bactéria Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), é uma doença que afeta a maioria das espécies do gênero Citrus, ocorrendo praticamente em todos os continentes, e se destaca como uma das ameaças à citricultura brasileira. O mecanismo molecular pelo qual Xac causa o cancro não é inteiramente conhecido, entretanto, sabe

2. Effects of Site-Directed Mutagenesis of Escherichia coli Heat-Labile Enterotoxin on ADP-Ribosyltransferase Activity and Interaction with ADP-Ribosylation Factors
Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT), an oligomeric protein with one A subunit (LTA) and five B subunits, exerts its effects via the ADP-ribosylation of Gsα, a guanine nucleotide-binding (G) protein that activates adenylyl cyclase. LTA also ADP-ribosylates simple guanidino compounds (e.g., arginine) and catalyzes its own auto-ADP-ribosylation. All

3. Activation of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxins by native and recombinant adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation factors, 20-kD guanine nucleotide-binding proteins.
Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxins (LT) are responsible in part for "traveler's diarrhea" and related diarrheal illnesses. The family of LTs comprises two serogroups termed LT-I and LT-II; each serogroup includes two or more antigenic variants. The effects of LTs result from ADP ribosylation of Gs alpha, a stimulatory component of adenylyl cyclase; th

4. The low molecular mass GTP-binding protein Rho is affected by toxin A from Clostridium difficile.
Enterotoxin A is one of the major virulence factors of Clostridium difficile, and the causative agent of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis. In cell culture (NIH-3T3, rat basophilic leukemia cells) toxin A inhibits Clostridium botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 (C3)-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of the low molecular mass GTP-binding Rho proteins.

5. The ADP ribosylation factor nucleotide exchange factor ARNO promotes β-arrestin release necessary for luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor desensitization
Desensitization of guanine nucleotide binding protein-coupled receptors is a ubiquitous phenomenon characterized by declining effector activity upon persistent agonist stimulation. The luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LH/CGR) in ovarian follicles exhibits desensitization of effector adenylyl cyclase activity in response to the mid-cycle surge

6. Activation of rat brain phospholipase D by ADP-ribosylation factors 1,5, and 6: separation of ADP-ribosylation factor-dependent and oleate-dependent enzymes.
Two major forms of phospholipase D (PLD) activity, solubilized from rat brain membranes with Triton X-100, were separated by HPLC on a heparin-5PW column with buffer containing octyl glucoside. One form was completely dependent on sodium oleate for activity. The other, which was dramatically activated by the addition of ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) 1 and gu

7. ADP-ribosylation factor 1 dependent clathrin-coat assembly on synthetic liposomes
The assembly of clathrin-coated vesicles on Golgi membranes is initiated by the GTP-binding protein ADP ribosylation factor (ARF), which generates high-affinity membrane-binding sites for the heterotetrameric AP-1 adaptor complex. Once bound, the AP-1 recruits clathrin triskelia, which polymerize to form the coat. We have found that ARF⋅GTP also recruits A

8. Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that enhance choleragen ADP-ribosyltransferase activity: nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of an ADP-ribosylation factor cDNA.
Three (two soluble and one membrane) guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) that enhance ADP-ribosylation of the Gs alpha stimulatory subunit of the adenylyl cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) complex by choleragen have recently been purified from bovine brain. To further define the structure and function of these ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs), we isolated a c

9. Resistance of Exotoxin A to Purified Pseudomonas Proteolytic Enzymes
Pseudomonas toxin is produced as a proenzyme which is cytotoxic for cells in culture but must be activated to express full enzymatic activity. The ability of purified pseudomonas alkaline protease and elastase or of culture filtrates of two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to modify the activity of pseudomonas toxin was examined. Two parameters of toxin act

10. BIG2, A Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor for ADP-Ribosylation Factors: Its Localization to Recycling Endosomes and Implication in the Endosome IntegrityD⃞
Small GTPases of the ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) family play a key role in membrane trafficking by regulating coated vesicle formation, and guanine nucleotide exchange is essential for the ARF function. Brefeldin A blocks the ARF-triggered coat assembly by inhibiting the guanine nucleotide exchange on ARFs and causes disintegration of the Golgi complex and

11. A ribosome-dependent GTPase from yeast distinct from elongation factor 2.
Three proteins required for poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis have been separated from yeast. Two of the factors correspond to the elongation factors 1 and 2 described for other eukaryotic systems, according to the criteria of phenylalanyl-tRNA binding and diphtheria toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. The third protein, while absolutely required fo

12. Exo1: A new chemical inhibitor of the exocytic pathway
A phenotypic screen was used to search for drug-like molecules that can interfere with specific steps in membrane traffic. 2-(4-Fluorobenzoylamino)-benzoic acid methyl ester (Exo1), identified in this screen, induces a rapid collapse of the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum, thus acutely inhibiting the traffic emanating from the endoplasmic reticulum.
