CONFORMATIONAL ANALYSIS OF FRAGMENT OF HUMAN PIN1 WW DOMAIN: INFLUENCE OF CHARGED AMINO-ACID RESIDUES ON β-HAIRPIN STRUCTURE

TASK Quarterly, 2014
We examined the effect of like-charged residues on the conformation of an original nine amino-acid-residue fragment of the human Pin1 WW domain (hPin1) with the following sequence: Ac-Arg-Met-Ser-Arg-Ser-Ser-Gly-Arg-Val-NH2 (U9). This was facilitated by

Mean Field Approach for a Statistical Mechanical Model of Proteins

, 2003
We study the thermodynamical properties of a topology-based model proposed by Galzitskaya and Finkelstein for the description of protein folding. We devise and test three different mean-field approaches for the model, that simplify the treatment without ...

Hepatocyte Mettl3 Deficiency Drives Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Liver Fibrosis via Cholangiocyte‐Macrophage Crosstalk

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration demonstrating that hepatic Mettl3 depletion significantly elevates the secretion of Mif and Csf1. This elevation facilitates Trem2+ macrophage infiltration and triggers cholangiocyte remodeling through the Spp1‐Cd44 interaction, resulting in spontaneous PSC development in vivo.

Thanatin and vinyl sulfide analogues as narrow spectrum antimicrobial peptides that synergise with polymyxin B

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Thanatin is a β-hairpin antimicrobial peptide cyclised by a single disulfide bond that has shown potent broad-spectrum activity towards bacterial and fungal pathogens. Towards Gram-negative species, thanatin acts both by forming trans-membranal pores and

Reversible fold-switching controls the functional cycle of the antitermination factor RfaH

Nature Communications, 2019
The antitermination factor RfaH adopts two functional states where its C-terminal domain is folded either as an α-helical hairpin or β-barrel. Here the authors employ solution state NMR measurements to show that the C-terminal domain transforms into the ...

Unraveling the Morphological and Functional Maturation Mechanisms Underlying Human Neural Development Using iPSCs‐Derived Neuronal Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neuronal model, Tian and colleagues reveal that voltage‐gated calcium channels Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, and their mediated calcium ion influx, are essential for early morphogenesis of human neuronal development, while ECEL1 underlies human neuronal functional developmental maturation through CALM3 ...

TNF receptor–related factor 3 inactivation promotes the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma through NF‐κB‐inducing kinase–mediated hepatocyte transdifferentiation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a deadly but poorly understood disease, and its treatment options are very limited. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular drivers of ICC and search for therapeutic targets.

The NADPH oxidase NOX4 regulates redox and metabolic homeostasis preventing HCC progression

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Loss of NOX4 in HCC tumor cells induces metabolic reprogramming in a Nrf2/MYC‐dependent manner to promote HCC progression. Abstract Background and Aims The NADPH oxidase NOX4 plays a tumor‐suppressor function in HCC. Silencing NOX4 confers higher proliferative and migratory capacity to HCC cells and increases their in vivo tumorigenic potential in ...
