We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Function

MCL1_HUMAN Involved in the regulation of apoptosis versus cell survival, and in the maintenance of viability but not of proliferation. Mediates its effects by interactions with a number of other regulators of apoptosis. Isoform 1 inhibits apoptosis. Isoform 2 promotes apoptosis.^[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Understanding the relationship between protein sequence and structure well enough to design new proteins with desired functions is a longstanding goal in protein science. Here, we show that recurring tertiary structural motifs (TERMs) in the PDB provide rich information for protein-peptide interaction prediction and design. TERM statistics can be used to predict peptide binding energies for Bcl-2 family proteins as accurately as widely used structure-based tools. Furthermore, design using TERM energies (dTERMen) rapidly and reliably generates high-affinity peptide binders of anti-apoptotic proteins Bfl-1 and Mcl-1 with just 15%-38% sequence identity to any known native Bcl-2 family protein ligand. High-resolution structures of four designed peptides bound to their targets provide opportunities to analyze the strengths and limitations of the computational design method. Our results support dTERMen as a powerful approach that can complement existing tools for protein engineering.
