Prediction of secondary structural elements in the phosphatidylcholine-transfer protein from bovine liver. 1982

R Akeroyd, and J A Lenstra, and J Westerman, and G Vriend, and K W Wirtz, and L L van Deenen

Secondary structural elements of the phosphatidylcholine-transfer protein from bovine liver have been predicted from its primary structure with the aid of two computerized methods. The predicted alpha-helix and beta-strand content have been compared with the values derived from circular dichroism spectra. The hydrophobicity profile (Rose plot) of the protein indicated that the supposed lipid-binding site occurs in the most hydrophobic region. The predicted secondary structural elements have been folded in a tentative model of the protein molecule according to its hydrophobicity profile.

D000727 Androgen-Binding Protein Carrier proteins produced in the Sertoli cells of the testis, secreted into the seminiferous tubules, and transported via the efferent ducts to the epididymis. They participate in the transport of androgens. Androgen-binding protein has the same amino acid sequence as SEX HORMONE-BINDING GLOBULIN. They differ by their sites of synthesis and post-translational oligosaccharide modifications. Androgen Binding Protein,Binding Protein, Androgen,Protein, Androgen Binding,Protein, Androgen-Binding
