Calmodulin: A Multitasking Protein in Kv7.2 Potassium Channel Functions
Biomolecules, 2018 The ubiquitous calcium transducer calmodulin (CaM) plays a pivotal role in many cellular processes, regulating a myriad of structurally different target proteins.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1386-1397, April 2025.Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...

Connexin domains relevant to the chemical gating of gap junction channels
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 Most cells exchange ions and small metabolites via gap junction channels. These channels are made of two hemichannels (connexons), each formed by the radial arrangement of six connexin (Cx) proteins. Connexins span the bilayer four times (M1-M4) and have

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Pathogenic variants in the calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II B gene (CAMK2B) have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, including epilepsy, yet the mechanisms underlying cortical dysfunction remain largely unclear.

Ibrain, EarlyView.This systematic review of 37 studies demonstrates that aerobic, resistance, and combined exercise enhance cognitive function and brain health across all ages. Exercise promotes neuroplasticity, upregulates brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and mitigates age‐related cognitive decline, establishing ...

Can calmodulin bind to lipids of the cytosolic leaflet of plasma membranes?
Open BiologyCalmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous calcium-sensitive messenger in eukaryotic cells. It was previously shown that CaM possesses an affinity for diverse lipid moieties, including those found on CaM-binding proteins. These facts, together with our observation

iLABMED, EarlyView.This article reviews the pivotal role of post‐translational modifications of proteins in the development and progression of hematologic malignancies, and explores their clinical translation potential as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins have emerged as critical regulators in the ...

iMeta, EarlyView.Climate change demands accelerated plant adaptation and de novo domestication. Yet current enviromics focuses disproportionately on external environments, neglecting internal dynamics—gene expression, metabolic flux, and signal transduction—within predictive envirotyping frameworks.
