Engineering Murine Cross‐Reactivity Into an Affibody to Human Death Receptor 5
ABSTRACT Interspecies cross‐reactive protein therapeutics that target conserved epitopes across species are critical for translational research. The present study showcases the engineering of an affibody molecule, originally discovered for binding to human death receptor 5 (hDR5) with 94 nM affinity, to simultaneously acquire cross‐reactivity to murine

An Ankyrin-Based Mechanism for Functional Organization of Dystrophin and Dystroglycan
Summaryβ-dystroglycan (DG) and the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) are localized at costameres and neuromuscular junctions in the sarcolemma of skeletal muscle.

ABSTRACT Background Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterised by widespread chronic pain, which is believed to be mediated by a state of central sensitisation (CS). Based on the hypothesis that CS itself could have genetic determinants, our aim was to further explore this pathway.

Ankyrin-spectrin scaffolds, from blood to brain
The initiation and rapid transduction of electrical signals in the nervous system depends on the proper expression of voltage-gated sodium channels in the axon initial segment and nodes of Ranvier. The localization of sodium channel in neurons depends on

Detection of Nav1.5 and ankyrin-G by immunoblot.
Relative expression of Nav1.5 (Panel A) and 190 kD ankyrin-G (Panel B) in control (non-infarcted hearts) and post infarct canine epicardial tissue. Tissues were collected from infarcted hearts (both EBZ and Remote) at post occlusion 24 hr, 48 hr, and 5 ...

Defining AV2‐1 as a novel pharmacological probe to target human and rodent TRPV2
Abstract Background and Purpose Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a non‐selective cation channel implicated in immune cell functions. However, progress in understanding TRPV2 has been limited by a lack of potent and selective pharmacological tools, particularly those targeting the human variant. We aimed to identify and characterise a

Sequence and structural alignments reveal insights into ANKLE2 evolution and function. [PDF]
Abstract ANKLE2 is an enigmatic protein with emerging roles in cell division, development, and virus replication. While ANKLE2 orthologs are present in all animals, its domain composition has evolved over time. ANKLE2's two namesake domains, the ankyrin repeat and LEM domains (named for LAP2, Emerin, and MAN1), have clear and defined roles; however ...

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed
ABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with

Variations in chromosome number are occasionally observed among oomycetes, a group that includes many plant pathogens, but the emergence of such variations and their effects on genome and virulence evolution remain ambiguous.
