Solution structure and p43 binding of the p38 leucine zipper motif: coiled-coil interactions mediate the association between p38 and p43.

abstract：:The marked difference in auxin sensitivity between plant roots and shoots was studied in terms of auxin-induced stimulation of membrane P-type ATPase. The results suggest the existence in rice seedlings of, at least, two isoforms of soluble proteinous factors (SPF), SPF(I) and SPF(II), which are involved in the stimul...

abstract：:PDZ domains are thought to act as protein-binding modules mediating the clustering of membrane and membrane-associated proteins. The INAD protein has been shown to interact via a PDZ domain with the calcium channel TRP which contributes to capacitative calcium entry into Drosophila photoreceptor cells. We have cloned ...
