The thesis consists of five chapters which aim to investigate the mechanical properties and fabricating processes of different biomedical Ti scaffolds, with the structure presented: Chapter 1 is a generalized introduction to the content of the thesis, including the background, scopes and objectives of the research. In Chapter 2, a comprehensive literature review is presented. Chapter 3 presents the design and fabrication of the Ti scaffolds. In Chapter 4, the mechanical properties of the fabricated Ti scaffolds were analyzed.

An efficient, three-component, catalyst free synthesis of dipyrazolo[1,5-a:3',4'-d]pyramid scaffolds has been carried out using 3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one (1), 5-amino pyarazole (2a-b) and substituted aromatic aldehydes.

Ina search for genes regulated in response to cAMPwe have identified a newprotein, p76 RBE , whosemRNAand protein expression is enhanced in thyrocytes following thyrotropin stimulation of the cAMP transduction cascade. This protein presents important similarities with Rhophilin and contains different protein–protein interactionmotifs. The presence of HR1 and PDZ motifs as well as a potential PDZ binding domain motif suggests that p76 RBE could be implicated in targeting or scaffolding processes....

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) plays an important role inmRNA translation by binding the 5¢-cap structure of themRNAand facilitating the recruitment to themRNAof other translation factors and the 40S ribosomal subunit. eIF4E can interact either with the scaffold protein eIF4Gor withrepressor proteins termed eIF4E-binding proteins (4E-BPs). Highlevels of expression can disrupt cellular growthcontrol and are associated withhuman cancers.

Escherichia coliproteinY (pY) binds to the small ribosomal subunit and stabilizes ribosomes against dissociation when bacteria experience environmental stress. pY inhibits trans-lationin vitro,most probably by interferingwith the binding of the aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosomal A site. Such a translational arrest may mediate overall adaptation of cells to environmental conditions. We have determined the 3D solution structure of a 112-residue pY and have studied its backbone dynamic by NMRspectroscopy. ...

The mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase module: (Raf fiMEKfiERKs) is central to the control of cell growth, cell differentiation and cell survival. The fidelity of signalling and the spatio-temporal activation are key deter-minants in generating precise biological responses. The fidelity is ensured by scaffold proteins – protein kinase
insulators – andby specific docking sites. The duration and the intensity of the response are in part controlled by the compartmentalization of the signalling molecules. ...

The nuclei in the plasmodiumofPhysarumpolycephalum,as of othermyxomycetes, containhigh amounts of polymalate, which has been proposed to function as a scaffold for the carriage and storage of several DNA-binding proteins [Angerer, B. and Holler, E. (1995) Biochemistry34, 14741– 14751]. By delivering fluorescence-labeled polymalate into a growing plasmodiumby injection, we observedmicroscopic staining of nuclei in agreement with the proposed function.

The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-Basophil (PTP-Bas) and itsmouse homologue, PTP-Basophil-like (PTP-BL), are high molecular mass protein phosphatases consisting of a number of diverse protein–protein interaction modules. Several splicing variants of these phosphatases are known to exist thus demonstrating the complexity of these molecules. PTP-Bas/BL serves as a central scaffolding protein facilita-ting the assembly of a multiplicity of different proteins mainly via five different PDZ domains. ...

The (ba)8-barrel is the most common enzyme fold and it is capable of cata-lyzing an enormous diversity of reactions. It follows that this scaffold should be an ideal starting point for engineering novel enzymes by directed evolution. However, experiments to date have utilized in vivo screens or selections and the compatibility of (ba)8-barrels with in vitro selection methods remains largely untested.

Our laboratory is interested in the biochemical and biophysical basis of cell structure. The structure of a cell is determined primarily by its cytoskeleton, which serves as a scaffold to sup-port the plasma membrane, and as a network of tracks along which motor proteins transport sub cellular structures. Our research is therefore focused on the mechanics of the cytoskele-ton, with a particular emphasis on microtubules and microtu-bule-based motors.

Nephrin is a signalling cell–cell adhesion protein of the Ig superfamily and the first identified component of the slit diaphragm that forms the critical and ultimate part of the glomerular ultrafiltration barrier. The extracellular domains of the nephrin molecules form a network of homophilic and heterophilic interactions building the structural scaffold of the slit dia-phragm between the podocyte foot processes.

The eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) 4E, is regulated by modulating both its phosphorylation and its availability to interact with the scaffold protein, eIF4G, to form the mature eIF4F complex. Here we show that treat-ment of C2C12 myoblasts with the proteasomal inhibitor, MG132 (N-carbobenzoxyl-Leu-Leu-leucinal), resulted in an early decrease inprotein synthesis rates followed by a partial recovery, reflecting the reprogramming of translation.

Mutations in the human Crumbs homologue 1 (CRB1) gene are a frequent cause of various forms of retinitis pigmentosa. The CRB1–membrane-asso-ciated palmitoylated protein (MPP)5 protein complex is thought to organ-ize an intracellular protein scaffold in the retina that is involved in maintenance of photoreceptor–Mu¨ller glia cell adhesion.

Genetic screens inDrosophilahave revealed that the serine⁄threonine kinase Hippo (Hpo) and the scaffold protein Salvador participate in a pathway that controls cell proliferation and apoptosis. Hpo most closely resembles the pro-apoptotic mammalian sterile20 kinases 1 and 2 (Mst1 and 2), and Salvador (Sav) has a human orthologue hSav (also called hWW45).

Thrombopoietin is the primary regulator of platelet production. We exploi-ted two naturally occurring miniproteins of the inhibitor cystine knot fam-ily as stable and rigid scaffolds for the incorporation of peptide sequences that have been shown to act as high-affinity thrombopoietin antagonists. Several miniproteins that antagonistically block thrombopoietin-mediated receptor activation were identified using a microscale reporter assay.

Cystine-knot miniproteins are members of a large family of small proteins that are defined by a common structural scaffold which is stabilized by three intramolecular disulfide bonds. Cystine-knot miniproteins display a broad spectrum of therapeutically useful natural biological activities and several family members are marketed as therapeutics or are in clinical development.
