Widespread biochemical reaction networks enable Turing patterns without imposed feedback

Nature Communications
Understanding self-organized pattern formation is fundamental to biology. In 1952, Alan Turing proposed a pattern-enabling mechanism in reaction-diffusion systems containing chemical species later conceptualized as activators and inhibitors that are ...

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]

, 2009
HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Labyrinthine Turing Pattern Formation in the Cerebral Cortex [PDF]

, 2002
I propose that the labyrinthine patterns of the cortices of mammalian brains may be formed by a Turing instability of interacting axonal guidance species acting together with the mechanical strain imposed by the interconnecting axons.Comment: See home ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

LDL receptor-related protein-1 regulates NFκB and microRNA-155 in macrophages to control the inflammatory response [PDF]

, 2016
LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) is an endocytic and cell-signaling receptor. In mice in which LRP1 is deleted in myeloid cells, the response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was greatly exacerbated.

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate activates the human mechano-gated KCNK channels KCNK 2 (TREK-1), KCNK 4 (TRAAK) and KCNK 10 (TREK-2).

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
: Two-pore domain K+ (KCNK, K2P) channels underlie the leak (background) potassium conductance in many types of excitable cells. They oppose membrane depolarization and cell excitability.

A normal form for excitable media

, 2006
We present a normal form for travelling waves in one-dimensional excitable media in form of a differential delay equation. The normal form is built around the well-known saddle-node bifurcation generically present in excitable media.
