FK506-binding protein molecule

FK506-binding protein molecule. Computer model showing the primary (rods) and secondary (alpha- helices, blue, and beta-sheets, purple) structures of the N-terminal of FK506-binding protein 52 (FKBP52). This is a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase enzyme, that is it catalyses the conversion of one peptidyl-prolyl isomer to another. FKBPs are involved in many cellular processes, including cell signalling, protein trafficking and transcription. They are also the target for immunosuppressive drugs, such as FK506, also known as tacrolimus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a FK506-binding protein molecule, specifically the N-terminal of FK506-binding protein 52 (FKBP52). The computer model beautifully illustrates the primary structure with its rod-like shape and secondary structures represented by alpha-helices in blue and beta-sheets in purple. FKBPs play crucial roles in various cellular processes, including cell signaling, protein trafficking, and transcription. As peptidyl-prolyl isomerase enzymes, they facilitate the conversion of one peptidyl-prolyl isomer to another. This molecular function holds immense significance in biological systems. The image also highlights how FKBPs serve as targets for immunosuppressive drugs like FK506 or tacrolimus. These compounds are widely used to suppress immune responses during organ transplantation or autoimmune diseases. Understanding the interaction between these drugs and their binding proteins aids researchers in developing more effective therapeutic interventions. Through this stunning computer artwork, we gain insight into the complex world of biochemistry and molecular biology. It reminds us of the remarkable intricacy that exists within our bodies at a microscopic level. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable visual resources that bridge artistry with scientific knowledge, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and functionality inherent within molecules like FKBP52.
