An intuitionistic approach to scoring DNA sequences against transcription factor binding site motifs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Transcription factors (TFs) control transcription by binding to specific regions of DNA called transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs). The identification of TFBSs is a crucial problem in computational biology and includes the subtask of ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

The ontogeny of 2-[125I]iodomelatonin binding sites in chicken brain

open access: yes, 1992
The characteristics of the binding sites for 2-[125I]iodomelatoion in were studied in chicken brain membranes during development. Specific binding, defined using cold melatonin (1 μM), was detected as early as 8-day-old embryos.

Characterization of post-transcriptional regulatory network of RNA-binding proteins using computational predictions and deep sequencing data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This report is divided into three parts: Data Analysis, Mathematical Modeling and Conclusion and future directions. In the Data Analysis part, various methods and tools for characterizing the post-transcriptional regulatory networks of RNA-binding ...

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

The ubiquitin ligase RNF115 is required for the clearance of damaged lysosomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Upon lysosomal rupture, an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF115 translocates from the cytosol to the damaged lysosomal membrane. Moreover, RNF115 depletion impairs the clearance of damaged lysosomes, identifying it as a key regulator of lysosomal quality control.

Evolution of signal multiplexing by 14-3-3-binding 2R-ohnologue protein families in the vertebrates

open access: yes, 2012
This work was supported by the UK Medical Research Council via a Developmental Pathway Funding Scheme award and a Research Councils UK fellowship in marine biology.14-3-3 proteins regulate cellular responses to stimuli by docking onto pairs of ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Pharmacological identity of 2-[125I]iodomelatonin binding sites in chicken brain and sheep pars tuberalis

open access: yes, 1991
2-[125I]Iodomelatonin was used to compare the binding and pharmacological characteristics of the melatonin receptor sites found in chicken brain and sheep pars tuberalis.

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.
