Regulatory coiled-coil domains promote head-to-head assemblies of AAA+ chaperones essential for tunable activity control

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Ring-forming AAA+ chaperones exert ATP-fueled substrate unfolding by threading through a central pore. This activity is potentially harmful requiring mechanisms for tight repression and substrate-specific activation.

To translate, or not to translate: viral and host mRNA regulation by interferon-stimulated genes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Type I interferon (IFN) is one of the first lines of cellular defense against viral pathogens. As a result of IFN signaling, a wide array of IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) products is upregulated to target different stages of the viral life cycle.

Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.

A processive rotary mechanism couples substrate unfolding and proteolysis in the ClpXP degradation machinery

open access: yeseLife, 2020
The ClpXP degradation machine consists of a hexameric AAA+ unfoldase (ClpX) and a pair of heptameric serine protease rings (ClpP) that unfold, translocate, and subsequently degrade client proteins.

Cellular functions of the ClpP protease impacting bacterial virulence

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Proteostasis mechanisms significantly contribute to the sculpting of the proteomes of all living organisms. ClpXP is a central AAA+ chaperone-protease complex present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that facilitates the unfolding and subsequent ...

Optimization of ClpXP activity and protein synthesis in an E. coli extract-based cell-free expression system. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Protein degradation is a fundamental process in all living cells and is essential to remove both damaged proteins and intact proteins that are no longer needed by the cell.

Mechanistic insights into bacterial AAA+ proteases and protein-remodelling machines [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Microbiology, 2015
To maintain protein homeostasis, AAA+ proteolytic machines degrade damaged and unneeded proteins in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. This process involves the ATP-dependent unfolding of a target protein and its subsequent translocation into a self-compartmentalized proteolytic chamber.

Combinatorial expression of glial transcription factors induces Schwann cell‐specific gene expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Schwann cells provide peripheral nerve trophic support, myelinate axons, and assist in repair. However, Schwann cell repair capacity is limited by chronic injury, disease, and aging. Schwann cell reprogramming is a cellular conversion strategy that could provide a renewable cell supply to repair injured nerves.

A Lon-like protease with no ATP-powered unfolding activity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Lon proteases are a family of ATP-dependent proteases involved in protein quality control, with a unique proteolytic domain and an AAA(+) (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) module accommodated within a single polypeptide chain.

Inflammation, Immunity, and Cardiovascular Diseases

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular stress signals (e.g., hemodynamic shear, oxidized lipids, and ischemia) act on endothelial and immune cells to activate and amplify inflammation through NF‐κB, the NLRP3 inflammasome, and JAK/STAT signaling, inducing proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines (IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α, and CCL2) and self‐amplifying circuits; clinically, inflammatory
