The protein Hsp90 plays a significant role in the survival of cells that are exposed to stress. Researchers in Germany uncovered this protein’s mode of operation some time ago — but now Hsp90 has surprised even the experts with an unexpected pattern of motion.
To understand a protein, it helps to get inside of it, and a professor has now figured out a way to do so. A new computer software program and projection system lets a person look at larger-than-life, 3-D structures of proteins in virtual reality.
Researchers have identified a novel regulatory protein complex in Drosophila that explains another protein’s double life, and which likely plays an important role in mammals, too.
Switch protein also influences the cytoskeleton
21 May 2010The protein Ras is known as the switch for cell division when it is activated. Mutations in Ras and its interaction partners can thus lead to the development of cancer.
A new study has found that the protein ICR1 controls the way auxin moves throughout a plant affecting its development. When this protein is genetically engineered into valuable biofuel crops such as corn, sugarcane or experimentals like switchgrass, farmers can expect to get a far larger yield than what they harvest today, research suggests.

New protein involved in longevity identified
8 May 2010Researchers have found that the level of a single protein in the tiny roundworm C. elegans determines how long it lives
New way to attack TB
24 Mar 2010Suspecting that a particular protein in tuberculosis was likely to be vital to the bacteria’s survival, scientists screened 175,000 small chemical compounds and identified a potent class of compounds that selectively slows down this protein’s activity and, in a test tube, blocks TB growth, demonstrating that the protein is indeed a vulnerable target.
