Identification of the alpha subunit half-cystine specifically labeled by an affinity reagent for the acetylcholine receptor binding site.
TL;DR: From the cycle of the Edman degradation in which radioactive residues are released, it is concluded that Cys 192 and, possibly in addition, Cys 193 are the residues specifically labeled by 4-(N-maleimido)benzyltri[3H]methylammonium iodide close to the acetylcholine binding site.

Acetylcholine receptor binding site contains a disulfide cross-link between adjacent half-cystinyl residues.
Peter N. Kao,Arthur Karlin +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a transition between two stable conformations of the vicinal disulfide, both involving a nonplanar cis peptide bond between Cys-192 andCys-193, is associated with receptor activation by agonists.

TL;DR: It is concluded that alveolar lining cells derive from bone marrow cells immediately after acute injury and the CD34(+)lin(-) subpopulation is capable of such pulmonary engraftment.

Protein-arginine Methyltransferase I, the Predominant Protein-arginine Methyltransferase in Cells, Interacts with and Is Regulated by Interleukin Enhancer-binding Factor 3
TL;DR: Deletion studies demonstrated that the COOH-terminal region of ILF3, which is rich in arginine, glycine, and serine, is responsible for the strong interaction between PRMT1 andILF3 and is the site of ILf3 methylation byPRMT1.

Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare pulmonary infection in HIV-negative patients without preexisting lung disease : Diagnostic and management limitations
TL;DR: The results emphasize the observed chronic nature of MAI pulmonary disease in this population, both before diagnosis and despite therapy, so an aggressive diagnostic approach, including bronchoscopy, should be considered if sputum cultures are negative.
