Avoiding pitfalls when modelling ligands in macromolecular crystallography

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
Flawed protein–ligand X‐ray structures can misdirect drug discovery based on PDB‐deposited models. This review uses publicly available PDB examples to highlight potential pitfalls, from absent ligands to incorrect chemistry, and presents a practical validation approach to improve model reliability.The determination of protein–ligand complex structures ...

Bone morphogenetic proteins: from structure to clinical use

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multi-functional growth factors belonging to the transforming growth factor ß superfamily. Family members are expressed during limb development, endochondral ossification, early fracture, and cartilage repair.

Type I receptors specify growth-inhibitory and transcriptional responses to transforming growth factor beta and activin.

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1994
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and activin bind to receptor complexes that contain two distantly related transmembrane serine/threonine kinases known as receptor types I and II. The type II receptors determine ligand binding specificity, and each interacts with a distinct repertoire of type I receptors.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Update on Non‐Biological and RNA‐Based Therapeutics in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: Precision Medicine Through Small Molecules: An EAACI Position Paper

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the last decades, critical advancements in research technology and knowledge on disease mechanisms steered therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory diseases towards unprecedented target specificity. For allergic and chronic lung diseases, biologic drugs pioneered this goal, acquiring on the way—through the clinical use of monoclonal ...

VprBP mitigates TGF-β and Activin signaling by promoting Smurf1-mediated type I receptor degradation

Journal of Molecular Cell Biology, 2019
Abstract The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family controls embryogenesis, stem cell differentiation, and tissue homeostasis. However, how post-translation modifications contribute to fine-tuning of TGF-β family signaling responses is not well understood.

Distinct Gene Expression Profiles of Ara h 2‐Specific B Cells in Desensitization and Tolerance During Peanut Oral Immunotherapy

Allergy, EarlyView.
Gene expression of Ara h 2‐specific B cells over the course of the peanut OIT. Isotype of allergen‐specific B cells changes through OIT towards IgG4. Peanut OIT changes the gene expression of allergen‐specific memory B cells. OIT patients showed increased gene expression for regulatory B cells and immune regulation.

Interplay between ALK2R206H mutant receptor and autophagy signaling regulates receptor stability and its chondrogenic functions

Cell Death Discovery
Heterozygous mutations in the Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I receptor ACVR1, encoding activin-like kinase 2 (ALK2), underlie all cases of the rare genetic musculoskeletal disorder Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP).

T Cell Microenvironmental Impacts and Therapeutic Opportunities: Application to Human Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the leading malignancy in adolescent and young adult males, yet the immunological and cellular mechanisms governing their tumor microenvironment (TME) remain poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive review of TGCT pathobiology with a focus on the immune landscape, particularly the role of tumor‐

Integrating novel therapeutic strategies in myeloproliferative neoplasms: Driving disease‐directed progress

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Over the past decade, there has been a substantial increase in the diversity and number of therapeutic options for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). While many remain within the clinical trial arena, the clinician and patient community have seen more approvals reaching the clinic and a rethink on how best we should be approaching these ...
