Return of the Electric Binding Site [PDF]

The Journal of General Physiology, 2008
The BK-type Ca2+-activated K+ channel has been the subject of increasingly detailed mechanistic study since the first recordings of this channel were obtained more than 25 years ago (Pallotta et al., 1981; Latorre et al., 1982; Magleby, 2003; and references therein).

Functional microRNA binding site variants

Molecular Oncology, 2019
Germline single nucleotide polymorphisms are one of the most common genetic variations. Polymorphisms that cause nonsynonymous mutations in gene coding regions are known to cause serious deleterious downstream effects.

How Diverse Are the Protein-Bound Conformations of Small-Molecule Drugs and Cofactors?

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018
Knowledge of the bioactive conformations of small molecules or the ability to predict them with theoretical methods is of key importance to the design of bioactive compounds such as drugs, agrochemicals, and cosmetics.

ATAC-Seq Data for Genome-Wide Profiling of Transcription Factor Binding Sites in the Rice False Smut Fungus Ustilaginoidea virens

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2021
Identification of transcription factor binding sites is one of the most important steps in understanding the function of transcription factors and regulatory networks in organisms. The assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) is a

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and COVID-19: a population-based cohort study

Blood Cancer Journal, 2021
Multiple myeloma (MM) patients have increased risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) when infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), the precursor of MM

The Na+ Binding Site of Thrombin [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
Thrombin is an allosteric serine protease existing in two forms, slow and fast, targeted toward anticoagulant and procoagulant activities. The slow --> fast transition is induced by Na+ binding to a site contained within a cylindrical cavity formed by three antiparallel beta-strands of the B-chain (Met180-Tyr184a, Lys224-Tyr228, and Val213-Gly219 ...

Leveraging current insights on IL‐10‐producing dendritic cells for developing effective immunotherapeutic approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Iceland screens, treats, or prevents multiple myeloma (iStopMM): a population-based screening study for monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and randomized controlled trial of follow-up strategies

Blood Cancer Journal, 2021
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) precedes multiple myeloma (MM). Population-based screening for MGUS could identify candidates for early treatment in MM.
