Structural basis of the allosteric trigger of the Hsp70 chaperone proteins. [PDF]
, 2008 This work solves a decades-old dilemma that stood in the way of understanding the allosteric mechanism of Hsp70 (heat shock 70 kDa) chaperone proteins. Hsp70s are central to protein folding, refolding, and trafficking in organisms ranging from Archae to ...

The evolution of an allosteric site in phosphorylase [PDF]
Structure, 1996 Glycogen phosphorylases consist of a conserved catalytic core onto which different regulatory sites are added. By comparing the structures of isozymes, we hope to understand the structural principles of allosteric regulation in this family of enzymes. Here, we focus on the differences in the glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) binding sites of two isozymes ...

YAP1::TFE3 mediates endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal plasticity in epithelioid hemangioendothelioma
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The YAP1::TFE3 fusion protein drives endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) plasticity, resulting in the loss of endothelial characteristics and gain of mesenchymal‐like properties, including resistance to anoikis, increased migratory capacity, and loss of contact growth inhibition in endothelial cells.

Structural insights into the role of the Smoothened cysteine-rich domain in Hedgehog signalling. [PDF]
, 2013 Smoothened (Smo) is a member of the Frizzled (FzD) class of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and functions as the key transducer in the Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway.

A common allosteric site and mechanism in caspases [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 We present a common allosteric mechanism for control of inflammatory and apoptotic caspases. Highly specific thiol-containing inhibitors of the human inflammatory caspase-1 were identified by using disulfide trapping, a method for site-directed small-molecule discovery.

Bias-inducing allosteric binding site in mu-opioid receptor signaling
SN Applied Sciences, 2021 G-protein-biased agonism of the mu-opioid receptor (μ-OR) is emerging as a promising strategy in analgesia. A deep understanding of how biased agonists modulate and differentiate G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) signaling pathways and how this is ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.
