RING finger domain and RING finger-like ubiquitin ligases (E3s), such as U-box proteins,
constitute the vast majority of known E3s. RING-type E3s function together with ubiquitin …

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins which lack enzymatic activity on their ligand and
are distinct from antibodies and free mono-and oligosaccharide sensor/transport proteins …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) uses an elaborate surveillance system called the ER
quality control (ERQC) system. The ERQC facilitates folding and modification of secretory …

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs in plants during certain developmental stages or
under adverse environmental conditions, as a result of the accumulation of unfolded or …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a multifunctional intracellular organelle supporting many
processes required by virtually every mammalian cell, including cardiomyocytes. It performs …

A correct three-dimensional structure is crucial for the physiological functions of a protein,
yet the folding of proteins to acquire native conformation is a fundamentally error-prone …

BACKGROUND: Diseases of glycosylation are rare inherited disorders, which are often
referred to as congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). Several types of CDG have been …

During the last decade it was unambiguously shown that plants synthesize minute amounts
of carbohydrate-binding proteins upon exposure to stress situations like drought, high salt …

Animal Lectins: Form, Function and Clinical Applications presents up-to-date knowledge of
animal lectins. Detailed descriptions on biological activities, tissue and/or subcellular …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a functionally and morphologically complex cellular
organelle largely responsible for a variety of crucial functions, including protein folding …
