Nucleoplasmin histone-chaperone protein C015 / 6915
Nucleoplasmin histone-chaperone protein, molecular model. This is nucleoplasmin 2 (Npm2), a chaperone that acts on human nucleoplasmin. Chaparone proteins play a key role in aiding protein folding. This one binds to histone, the proteins around which DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is packaged in cell nuclei. Nucleoplasmin 2 occurs in humans in oocytes (female reproductive cells) and embryos. This structure is a decamer (ten-fold structure) consisting of two pentamers. The protein chains, forming a ring, are indicated by the colours

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Nucleoplasmin histone-chaperone protein C015/6915, also known as nucleoplasmin 2 (Npm2). As a chaperone protein, Npm2 plays a crucial role in assisting with the folding of other proteins. In this particular case, it binds to histones - the proteins responsible for packaging DNA within cell nuclei. The image reveals a striking decamer structure composed of two pentamers. The individual protein chains come together to form a ring-like shape, each represented by different colors against a black background. This visually stunning representation highlights the complexity and beauty found within biological systems. Nucleoplasmin 2 is primarily present in human oocytes (female reproductive cells) and embryos, suggesting its significance during early developmental stages. Its presence underscores its importance in genetic and reproductive processes. This illustration not only serves as an artistic portrayal but also provides valuable insights into structural biology and biochemistry. It offers scientists and researchers an opportunity to study and understand how these macromolecules function at a molecular level. Overall, this artwork represents the intersection between science and art while shedding light on the fascinating world of genetics, embryology, and cellular reproduction.
