5、 brief history.看这里！另一个反映蛋白质紧密程度的参数是沉降系数S。一般是紧密程度相似的蛋白质,分子质量大,则S 值大.然而,Nup2p 的S 值为2.9 小于分子质量比其小的清蛋白的4.7。Nup2p 的傅立叶转换红外光谱中,波数为1686、1671、1654、1637 和1625 cm-1 的峰,分别对应于转角、环形、无序环形、无序片层和片层的各种类型二级结构的特征吸收。由这些峰的强度可以推算出这些类型二级结构的含量:转角11.8%、环形22.2%、无序环形42.6%、无序片层16.2%和片层7.2%。Nup2p NLS:nuclear localization signal
6、 Srp1p NPC:nuclear pore complex Key WordsImport of proteins containing a classical NLS into the nucleus is mediated by importinand importin.Cells lacking NUP2 show a specific defect in both NLS import and Srp1p export,indicating that Nup2p is required for efficient bidirectional transport of Srp1p a
7、cross the nuclear pore complex(NPC).Nup2p is located at the nuclear side of the central gated channel of the NPC and provides a binding site for Srp1p via its amino-terminal domain.Nup2p effectively releases the NLS protein from importin -importin and and strongly binds to the importin heterodimer v
8、ia Srp1p.统计分析得到的另一个结论是,NUP 起作调节作用,因此,他们是“管家”的“助手”从生物学的角度看,NUP 似乎具有更多的优点:首先，不需要经过折叠就能行使作用其次，肽链不需折叠,因此,它们整条肽链中的更多位点可以与更多的分子结合,进而呈现多种功能第三，结构还可随外界的需求而改变,以一些分子作为模板进行折叠 以31 种物种基因组研究的结果为基础,对基因组表达产物中天然无折叠的蛋白质和蛋白质中天然无折叠结构域(50 个氨基酸残基的片段)的比例进行分析,所得的数据表明,真核生物基因组表达产物中NUP 和蛋白质中天然无折叠结构域(natively unfolded domain,NU
