A New Versatile Immobilization Tag Based on the Ultra High Affinity and Reversibility of the Calmodulin-Calmodulin Binding Peptide Interaction
Mukherjee S, Ura M, Hoey RJ, Kossiakoff AA
J. Mol. Biol. 2015 Aug;427(16):2707-25
PMID: 26159704
Abstract
Reversible, high-affinity immobilization tags are critical tools for myriad biological applications. However, inherent issues are associated with a number of the current methods of immobilization. Particularly, a critical element in phage display sorting is functional immobilization of target proteins. …

Engineering Synthetic Antibody Inhibitors Specific for LD2 or LD4 Motifs of Paxillin
Nocula-Lugowska M, Lugowski M, Salgia R, Kossiakoff AA
J. Mol. Biol. 2015 Jul;427(15):2532-2547
PMID: 26087144
Abstract
Focal adhesion protein paxillin links integrin and growth factor signaling to actin cytoskeleton. Most of paxillin signaling activity is regulated via leucine-rich LD motifs (LD1-LD5) located at the N-terminus. Here, we demonstrate a method to engineer highly selective synthetic …

Nuclear pores. Architecture of the nuclear pore complex coat
Stuwe T, Correia AR, Lin DH, Paduch M, Lu VT, Kossiakoff AA, Hoelz A
Science 2015 Mar;347(6226):1148-52
PMID: 25745173
Abstract
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) constitutes the sole gateway for bidirectional nucleocytoplasmic transport. Despite half a century of structural characterization, the architecture of the NPC remains unknown. Here we present the crystal structure of a …

Protein targeting. Structure of the Get3 targeting factor in complex with its membrane protein cargo
Mateja A, Paduch M, Chang HY, Szydlowska A, Kossiakoff AA, Hegde RS, Keenan RJ
Science 2015 Mar;347(6226):1152-5
PMID: 25745174
Abstract
Tail-anchored (TA) proteins are a physiologically important class of membrane proteins targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum by the conserved guided-entry of TA proteins (GET) pathway. During transit, their hydrophobic transmembrane domains (TMDs) are chaperoned by …

Engineering synthetic antibody binders for allosteric inhibition of prolactin receptor signaling
Rizk SS, Kouadio JL, Szymborska A, Duguid EM, Mukherjee S, Zheng J, Clevenger CV, Kossiakoff AA
Cell Commun. Signal 2015 Jan;13:1
PMID: 25589173
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Many receptors function by binding to multiple ligands, each eliciting a distinct biological output. The extracellular domain of the human prolactin receptor (hPRL-R) uses an identical epitope to bind to …

Applications for an engineered Protein-G variant with a pH controllable affinity to antibody fragments
Bailey LJ, Sheehy KM, Hoey RJ, Schaefer ZP, Ura M, Kossiakoff AA
J. Immunol. Methods 2014 Dec;415:24-30
PMID: 25450256
Abstract
Immunoglobulin binding proteins (IBPs) are broadly used as reagents for the purification and detection of antibodies. Among the IBPs, the most widely used are Protein-A and Protein-G. The C2 domain of Protein-G from Streptococcus is …
