'Grb7 is an adapter-type signaling protein, which is recruited via its SH2 domain to a variety of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including ErbB2 and ErbB3. It is overexpressed in breast, esophageal, and gastric cancers, and may contribute to the invasive potential of cancer cells. Molecular interactions involving Grb7 therefore provide ... More
Presteady-state Analysis of Avian Sarcoma Virus Integrase. I. A SPLICING ACTIVITY AND STRUCTURE-FUNCTION IMPLICATIONS FOR COGNATE SITE RECOGNITION.

PubMed ID:11821409
'Integrase catalyzes insertion of a retroviral genome into the host chromosome. After reverse transcription, integrase binds specifically to the ends of the duplex retroviral DNA, endonucleolytically cleaves two nucleotides from each 3''-end (the processing activity), and inserts these ends into the host DNA (the joining activity) in a concerted manner. ...

G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane-containing receptors, such as the N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) of neutrophils, likely undergo a conformational change upon binding of ligand, which enables the receptor to transmit a signal to G proteins. We have examined the functional significance of numerous conserved charged amino acid residues proposed to be located ... More
