Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Comparative evaluation of eggshell-derived nano-hydroxyapatite and amniotic membrane as pulpotomy agents in primary teeth: A randomized clinical trial

Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry
Background: Despite the clinical success of existing pulpotomy medicaments, the search for novel and economically viable alternatives continues. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of eggshell-derived nano-hydroxyapatite (EnHA) and ...

The effects of strigolactones on some biochemical traits in calcified media on grapevine

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2022
Plants are stressed in different ways when they are in environments unsuitable for them. Among these stresses, abiotic factors are common. Calcified soil is also a stress factor.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Light-driven nucleation, growth, and patterning of biorelevant crystals using resonant near-infrared laser heating

Nature Communications, 2023
Spatiotemporal control over crystal nucleation and growth is of fundamental interest for understanding how organisms assemble high-performance biominerals, and holds relevance for manufacturing of functional materials.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

The Efficacy of Calcium Carbonate Scale Inhibition by Commercial Polymer Scale Inhibitors

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015
The efficacy of calcium carbonate scale inhibition by three selected inhibitors, Polymaleic Acid (PMA), Polyamino Polyether Methylene Phosphonic Acid (PAPEMP) and Acrylic Acid-Maleic Anhydride (AA/MA) copolymer was investigated via static beaker tests at

FSA Neutralization with Calcium Compounds

Procedia Engineering, 2014
AbstractAs environmental regulations continue to restrict chemical processing emissions, phosphate plant operators will eventually be required to neutralize fluoride waste materials. Most phosphate plants currently use direct contact barometric condensers with recirculating cooling pond water that is saturated with fluoride salts. Most of this fluoride

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
