The expression of Muscle ankyrin repeat proteins in brown adipose tissue [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2011 MARP family members CARP, Ankrd2 and DARP are expressed in the striated muscle, while DARP protein is also detected in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Taking into account recent findings concerning the common origin of muscle and brown fat, expression of ...

Consensus-derived structural determinants of the ankyrin repeat motif [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 The ankyrin repeat is one of the most common, modular, protein–protein interaction motifs in nature. To understand the structural determinants of this family of proteins and extract the consensus information that defines the architecture of this motif, we have designed a series of idealized ankyrin repeat proteins containing one, two, three, or four ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ANKS1B in the nucleus accumbens plays a critical role in the transition from controlled to escalated cocaine intake. Mechanistically, ANKS1B interacts with CBP to epigenetically suppress FoxO3 through H3K27 acetylation. The ANKS1B‐CBP‐FoxO3 signaling cascade presents a novel theraputic target for the treatment of cocaine addiction.

Exploring Genetic Factors Involved in the Risk of Bruxism in Male Construction Workers
Journal of the California Dental AssociationObjective The bruxism has a multifactorial etiology, in which molecular factors and genes play an important role. Dopaminergic pathways are pathways involved in functions such as motor control, reward, motivation, arousal and cognition.
