ATPase mechanism of the 5'-3' DNA helicase, RecD2: evidence for a pre-hydrolysis conformation change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The superfamily 1 helicase, RecD2, is a monomeric, bacterial enzyme with a role in DNA repair, but with 5'-3' activity unlike most enzymes from this superfamily. Rate constants were determined for steps within the ATPase cycle of RecD2 in the presence of

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Role of Glycogenolysis in Stimulation of ATP Release from Cultured Mouse Astrocytes by Transmitters and High K Concentrations

open access: yesASN Neuro, 2013
This study investigates the role of glycogenolysis in stimulated release of ATP as a transmitter from astrocytes. Within the last 20 years our understanding of brain glycogenolysis has changed from it being a relatively uninteresting process to being a ...

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Mapping the interactions between ATP and the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2 + -ATPase with ATP and ATP analogs studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2004
Die Infrarotspektroskopie in Verbindung mit photoaktivierbaren Substraten wurde zur Untersuchung von Substrat-Protein-Wechselwirkungen eingesetzt. Dabei wurden Konformationsänderungen der Ca2+-ATPase des Sarkoplasmatischen Retikulums bei Bindung des ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Targeting the purine salvage pathway in in vitro models of cerebral ischemia [PDF]

open access: yes
An interruption of the blood supply to the brain, as occurs during ischemic stroke, results in a rapid decline of ATP levels and a subsequent loss of neuronal function and viability.

HCs release ATP.

open access: yes, 2014
(A) Dissociated goldfish HC. This preparation consisted of about 90% of HCs. The remaining material was mostly debris. Scale bar, 20 µm. (B) The mean ± sem whole-cell IV relations of six dissociated HCs in conditions where potassium currents were ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.
