Chemical compound and disease context of BANK1

• An atomic model of the subunit was generated by homology modeling using as the reference the known X-ray crystallographic structure of the related enzyme pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (EC 2.7.9.1) from Clostridium symbiosum (Protein Data Bank entry 1DIK) [16].
• Fifty patients from rural areas in the Jenin district of the West Bank, Palestinian Authority, were diagnosed with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) between 1989 and 1998 [17].
• Over 100 melanoma cell lines deposited in the ESTDAB Melanoma Cell Bank (Tubingen, Germany) were studied for the characteristic glycan composition related to tumor progression [18].
• To evaluate relationships of serum carotenoids, alpha-tocopherol, selenium, and retinol with breast cancer prospectively, we conducted a case-control study nested in a cohort from the Breast Cancer Serum Bank in Columbia, Missouri (United States) [19].

Biological context of BANK1

• Transmembrane (TM) proteins constitute 15-30% of the genome, but <1% of the structures in the Protein Data Bank. This discrepancy is disturbing, and emphasizes that structure determination of TM proteins remains challenging [20].
• The Protein Data Bank and the challenge of structural genomics [21].
• By comparison, about half of the single domain proteins in the Protein Data Bank have their N- and C-terminal elements in contact, more than expected on a random probability basis but not nearly enough to account for the bias in protein folding [22].
• Current knowledge about the determinants of beta-sheet formation has been notably improved by the structural and kinetic analysis of model peptides, by mutagenesis experiments in proteins and by the statistical analysis of the protein structure database (Protein Data Bank; PDB) [23].
• The original model, using initial Glasgow Coma Scale score, hemorrhage size, and pulse pressure, accounted for mortality or survival at 30 days in 92% of patients in the Pilot Stroke Data Bank with a sensitivity of 0.84 and a specificity of 0.96 [24].

Anatomical context of BANK1

• PATIENTS AND METHODS: Western blotting was performed on cytosols from frozen tumor specimens of 927 N- breast cancer patients in the San Antonio Breast Tumor Bank. The monoclonal antibody M1G8 was used to detect cathepsin D (in previous study, a polyclonal antiserum had been used) [25].
• Due to the high rate of predicted carriers (> 63,000) in the Nebraska population (1990 U.S. Census = 1,578,358), we analyzed sperm DNA obtained from semen donors at the University of Nebraska Genetic Semen Bank for eight of the more common mutations to determine the frequency and diversity in our population [26].
• We searched the Stroke Data Bank and personal files to find patients with CT-documented infarcts in the territory of the inferior division of the right middle cerebral artery [27].
• These patients were classified as having strokes of determined origin or cryptogenic strokes according to criteria developed for the Stroke Data Bank of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Separation of septum primum from secundum and the number of microbubbles appearing in left atrium were then quantitated [28].
• Human stromal and endothelial cultures were established from corneas obtained from the Maryland Eye Bank. Cultures were incubated in the presence of human gamma interferon for 4 days, trypsinized, washed, and then stained with a monoclonal reagent specific for human Class II (HLA-DR) antigens [29].

Associations of BANK1 with chemical compounds

• The finding that sigma is close to unity (1 +/- 0.2) indicates a noncooperative role for alanine in PII structure formation, consistent with statistical surveys of the Protein Data Bank that suggest that most PII structure occurs in isolated residues [30].
• On a three-dimensional templated model of GLUT1 (Protein Data Bank code 1SUK), a molecular recognition program, AUTODOCK 3, reveals nine hexose-binding clusters spanning the entire "hydrophilic" channel [31].
• Finally, we present a structural model for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-alpha-cobratoxin interaction by superimposing the alpha-cobratoxin.alpha18-mer complex onto the crystal structure of the acetylcholine-binding protein (Protein Data Bank code ) [32].
• The caddie protein, which consists of one six-strandedbeta-sheet and one alpha-helix, has no similarity with all proteins deposited into the Protein Data Bank. Although tyrosinase and catechol oxidase are classified into the type 3 copper protein family, the latter enzyme lacks monooxygenase activity [33].
• Codon usage in 87 602 genes has been calculated using the nucleotide sequence data obtained from the GenBank Genetic Sequence Data Bank (Release 90.0; September 1995) [34].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of BANK1

• Serum samples from all cadaver organ donors to the New England Organ Bank between 1986 and 1990 were screened retrospectively for antibodies to HCV (anti-HCV) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [35].
• With the use of a specific radioimmunoassay, the concentration of CK-BB was measured in 524 sera (obtained from the National Cancer Institute-Mayo Clinic Serum Diagnostic Bank) from patients with a variety of benign and malignant disorders [36].
• In 1983, 949 cases of acute non-fatal illness consisting of headache, dizziness, blurred vision, abdominal pain, myalgia, and fainting occurred in the West Bank. Physical examination and biochemical tests were otherwise normal [37].

• SETTING: Neurovascular Unit and Echocardiography Laboratory, Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York, New York.
