Solution Structure of BAG Domains: BAG-1 delta N

Lead Institution
The Burnham Institute
Principal Investigator
Kathryn Ely
Project type
Capability Research
BAG-1 is a novel multifunctional protein first identified as a molecule that binds to the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. With the discovery that BAG-1 binds tightly to heat shock proteins Hsp70/Hsc70…

BAG1 as a Link between Cell Growth and the Stress Response: An NMR Study

Lead Institution
The Burnham Institute
Principal Investigator
Kathryn Ely
Project type
Capability Research
BAG1 is a multifunctional protein that modulates responses to cell death and cell stress. The 'BAG domain', located in the C-terminal region of BAG1 is necessary for interactions with two…

Structure of a Helical Signaling Domain from p130Cas

Lead Institution
The Burnham Institute
Principal Investigator
Kathryn Ely
Project type
Capability Research
The cellular responses to integrin signals are coordinated through specific protein-protein interactions. In this project, we focus on an adaptor protein called Cas that becomes phosphorylated upon…

Structural characterization of free and fibronectin-bound anastellin

Lead Institution
The Burnham Institute
Principal Investigator
Kathryn Ely
Project type
Capability Research
Anastellin is a carboxy-terminal fragment of the 1st FN3 domain from human fibronectin. It is capable of polymerizing fibronectin in vitro and it displays anti-tumor, anti-metastatic and anti…

Structure of the PR domain of RIZ1 tumor suppressor

Lead Institution
The Burnham Institute
Principal Investigator
Kathryn Ely
Project type
Capability Research
RIZ1 is a PR domain containing histone lysine methyltransferase and tumor suppressor activity that provides a link between dietary and genetic causes of cancer. We plan to determine the structure of…
