Targeting the noncatalytic activity of GSK3β modulates neuronal excitability in medium spiny neurons via Nav1.6 interactions

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Kinases phosphorylate ion channels, but their noncatalytic roles via protein–protein interactions (PPI) are less understood. Here, we identified the peptidomimetic ZL141 to characterize the PPI between GSK3β and Nav1.6, revealing a noncatalytic role for GSK3β in regulating Nav1.6 currents and neuronal excitability ...

Dimerization‐dependent NOTCH receptor transactivation unveils a class of highly selective NOTCH signalling inhibitors

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
NOTCH signalling is indispensable for tissue homeostasis and, consequently, corruption of its normal function promotes numerous diseases, including cancer. However, the development of targeted therapies has been hampered by inefficacy and overt toxicity. Here, we show that NOTCH receptor dimerization is necessary for receptor transactivation, which has

Characterisation of a phylogenetically distinct PL25 family ulvan lyase from a seaweed biomass enriched metagenome

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ulvan is a polysaccharide available from green seaweed with beneficial properties for various applications. The full potential of ulvan requires enzymatic degradation of the polymer, thus producing ulvan oligosaccharides. This study expands the armoury of characterised ulvan lyases.

Phycocyanobilin biosynthesis in Galdieria sulphuraria requires isomerization of phycoerythrobilin synthesized by bilin reductases

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The biosynthesis of bilins, tetrapyrroles essential for light harvesting and sensing, is performed by specific enzymes (FDBRs). In Galdieria sulphuraria, both phycobiliprotein types bind phycocyanobilin, despite lacking the canonical synthesizing gene PCYA. Instead, PEBA and PEBB are encoded, producing phycoerythrobilin, proposed to be later isomerized

The ALS‐associated E425K mutation uncouples DNAJC7 from the Hsp70 chaperone cycle

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
DNAJC7 is a J‐domain protein that plays a key role in protein quality control by regulating Hsp70 activity and preventing protein aggregation. We find that the ALS‐associated E425K mutation in DNAJC7 disrupts productive interaction and activation of Hsp70, thereby blocking the transfer and refolding of client proteins such as TDP‐43.

Automodification of N‐terminal serine residues facilitates PARP2 release from DNA

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PARP2 is involved in detecting DNA damage and its N‐terminal role is largely unknown. Based on biochemical and biophysical data, our findings suggest that in the presence of HPF1, N‐terminal serine 8 and 73 are enriched in auto‐ADP‐ribosylation. Our results provide insight into the mechanistic role of PARP2 N‐terminus in the PARylation‐dependent ...
