An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

DISCOVERY OF TJa ANTIBODY IN JAPAN

Journal of the Japan Society of Blood Transfusion, 1960
In September, 1958, a blood sample was referred to us for Rh-typing. The patient had nine pregnancies, each one of which ended in a miscarriage at the third to seventh month. She belonged to the blood group A, and the Rh0 (D) factor was positive. Her serum agglutinated all the red cells used in the test (except her own cells) both at 37C and at low ...

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.

Successful targeting of multidrug-resistant tumors with bispecific antibodies

mAbs
Multidrug resistance (MDR) hinders efficacious cancer chemotherapy. Overexpression of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump (EP) on cancer cells is a primary cause of MDR since it expels numerous anticancer drugs.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Phage display for discovery of anticancer antibodies

New Biotechnology
Antibodies and antibody-based immunotherapeutics are the mainstays of cancer immunotherapy. Expanding the repertoire of cancer-specific and cancer-associated epitopes targetable with antibodies represents an important area of research. Phage display is a powerful approach allowing the use of diverse antibody libraries to be screened for binding to a ...

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

KRAS-specific inhibition using a DARPin binding to a site in the allosteric lobe

Nature Communications, 2019
Mutant RAS family members occur in a wide range of tumour types, and there is a great interest in identifying isoform-specific inhibitors. Here, the authors characterise two designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) that specifically inhibit the KRAS ...

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

Computational Design of Epitope-Specific Functional Antibodies

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: The ultimate goal of protein design is to introduce new biological activity. We propose a computational approach for designing functional antibodies by focusing on functional epitopes, integrating large-scale statistical analysis with multiple ...
