... directly involved in ligand binding, presumably abolishing the interaction with signaling partners. The remaining mutations alter amino acids located outside the ligand-binding pocket and reduce ... lymphoproliferative dis- ease. Arginine 335 is found in the ‘BG loop’ not involved in phosphotyrosine binding and mutation to tryptophan most probably causes instability of the SH2 domain. Thus, these patients ... prolines on peptide folding [21]. Thus, proline is a rigid amino acid creating a fixed kink in a protein chain. Similar to the situation in many other genes, CpG dinucleotides in the BTK gene are more...

The complexity of decorin signaling is further expanded by ... with the EGF-binding domain [32]. The structural constraints of the EGFR binding region support a stochiometry of 1 : 1 for the decorin pro- tein core and EGFR, suggesting that decorin is bio- logically ... signaling, including vinculin and focal adhesion kinase [82]. Lumican alters the relationship between actin filaments and b1 integrin, which in turn would affect focal adhe- sion formation, thereby...

Typically, the limiting amino acids in ... dietary proteins are lysine, the sulfur-containing amino acids, threonine, and/ or tryptophan.
