Similar to the other PDZ domain interactionsthat have been shown to be abolished by ... signal is impaired.We finally examined the effect of deletion of the components of the PDZ binding motif on the signal-ing properties of the receptor in Ca2+imagingexperiments. Truncation of the ... summary, when the interaction betweenMUPP1 and OR2AG1 is inhibited by over-expressing the interacting PDZ domains, the resulting response ofOR2AG1 to odorant is modified in that the rapiddecay...

The solubilization of the ICD ofRNF13 and the presence of the putative NLS on the C-terminal side of the TM domain are consistent with the possibility that the ICD, released from the mem-brane ... released by proteolysis from the TM anchor localized approxi-mately in the middle of the protein.RNF13 is a type I integral membrane protein By isolating microsomes and stripping them of periph-eral ... RNF13 is sub-ject to unexpected proteolysis that releases both the PA domain and the RING domain from the mem-brane, providing a biochemical basis for understanding the regulation of this family...

Therefore, it can be concludedthat the nature of the base is insignificant for the tetra-merization effect. The next goal was to determine the role played by the sugar and phosphate...
