Structural insights into a 20.8-kDa tegumental-allergen-like (TAL) protein from Clonorchis sinensis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Survival of Clonorchis sinensis, a cause of human clonorchiasis, requires tegument proteins, which are localized to the tegumental outer surface membrane. These proteins play an important role in a host response and parasite survival.

Homologous membrane wrapped ZIF‐8 nanoparticles accelerate differentiation of neural stem cell for spinal cord injury therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Homologous membrane wrapped ZIF‐8 nanoparticles were proposed to improve biocompatibility and targeting ability to neural stem cells (NSCs). ZIF‐8‐SCM NPs exhibit pH responsiveness, thereby generating an intracellular Zn2+ storm to accelerate neural differentiation through calcium and MAPK signaling pathways. Moreover, they promote function recovery in

Influence of Head‐to‐Tail Cyclization of Lanmodulin‐Inspired Peptides on Lanthanide Affinity and Structure

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The influence of head‐to‐tail cyclization, as well as the effect of ring expansion with an additional glycine on lanmodulin‐inspired peptides on the structure and lanthanide (Ln)‐binding behavior was investigated. While the decrease of structural flexibility can indeed increase the Ln affinity and peptide pre‐organization, it does not lead to an ...

From Caffeine to Aspirin: Everyday Molecules as Triggers for Genetically Encoded Proximity Systems

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This Perspective article highlights how familiar dietary ingredients and over‐the‐counter (OTC) drugs (such as caffeine and its metabolites, SA, and aspirin) can be repurposed as clinically translatable chemical triggers for genetically encoded proximity systems.

The Influence of Drosophila Spire and Myosin V During Mid‐Oogenesis Is Independent of Their Direct Interaction

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

New Insights Into the Three‐Dimensional Mechanics of the Flagellar Beat Cycle

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in imaging at the molecular scale have provided greater detail concerning the three‐dimensional structure of the ciliary/flagellar axoneme. Additionally, it has recently been confirmed that electrostatic forces regulate the dynein‐tubulin interaction at the microtubule binding domain (MTBD) of dynein, and at the junction of the nexin ...

Conformation-specific detection of calmodulin binding using the unnatural amino acid p-azido-phenylalanine (AzF) as an IR-sensor

open access: yesStructural Dynamics, 2018
Calmodulin (CaM) is a very conserved, ubiquitous, eukaryotic protein that binds four Ca2+ ions with high affinity. It acts as a calcium sensor by translating Ca2+ signals into cellular processes such as metabolism, inflammation, immune response, memory ...

Calcium/Calmodulin Inhibition of Transcriptional Activity of E-proteins by Prevention of Their Binding to DNA

open access: yes, 2004
The Ca2+ sensor protein calmodulin can interact with the DNA binding basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain of E12, E47, and SEF2-1 (E2-2), which belong to the E-protein subclass of bHLH transcription factors.
