Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) plays an important role in B cell development. Deletion of C-terminal14 amino acids of the SH3 domain of BTK results in X-linked a g ammaglobulinemia ( X U ) , an inherited disease. We report here on the stability and folding of SH3 domain of BTK. Peptides correspondin

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), an inherited disease, is caused by mutations in the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). The absence of functional BTK leads to failure of B-cell differentiation; this incapacitates antibody production in XLA patients, who suffer from recurrent, sometimes lethal, bacter
Btk is a member of the Tec family of protein tyrosine kinases expressed in B cells. It is stimulated following cross-linking of the B cell receptor which leads to the autophosphorylation of a specific residue in the SH3 domain, Y223. Previous work using Btk-derived fusion proteins has shown that the
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an inherited immunodeficiency disease with a block in differentiation from pre-B to B cells resulting in a selective defect in the humoral immune response. Affected males have very low concentrations of serum immunoglobulins leading predominantly to recurrent bac
The structure of the C-terminal DNA-binding domain of human immunovirus-1 integrase has been refined using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The protein is a dimer in solution and shows a well-defined dimer interface. The folding topology of the monomer consists of a fivestranded -barrel tha
