Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage

ELECTROPHORETIC PATTERNS AND FREE AMINO ACIDS OF CAMEL’S MILK CASEINS AND WHEY AS AFFECTED BY DIFFERENT HEAT TREATMENTS [PDF]

Journal of Food and Dairy Sciences, 2009
Camel (Camelus dromedarius) milk caseins and whey proteins compared to bovine milk proteins and its relation to different heat treatments were detected using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).

Bifidobacterium Pseudolongum‐Derived Inosine Mitigates Polystyrene Nanoplastics‐Induced Hepatic Injury by Inhibiting the Polarization of M1 Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Probiotic B.p colonization elevated gut‐derived inosine level in the liver, while elevated inosine activated A2AR and subsequently blocked NPs‐induced polarization of M1 macrophages by repressing the miR155/SOCS1/NF‐κB pathway. This reduced the release of inflammatory cytokines and thereby, mitigated NPs‐induced hepatic injury.

Histone H3K18 Lactylation Promotes the Malignant Progression of Wilms Tumor via a PSRC1/AKT/HIF‐1α Positive Feedback Loop

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In nephroblastoma, aberrant glycolysis drives lactate accumulation, which elevates histone H3K18 lactylation via p300. Lactylation of the PSRC1 promoter activates its transcription. PSRC1 competitively binds AKT, relieving PTEN‐mediated inhibition and triggering AKT/mTOR/HIF‐1α signaling.

Molecular Properties of Caseins and Allergenicity

, 2016
Cow milk allergy (CMA) is an aberrant reaction to the cow milk proteins (CMP). CMA is the most frequent cause of food allergy in childhood and several reasons are responsible of the highest prevalence, among them: early introduction of CMP in the infant ...

A Phosphorylation‐Induced Micellization Switch in the Low‐Complexity Domain of TDP‐43

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phosphorylation of TAR DNA‐binding protein's 43 kDa (TDP‐43) low‐complexity domain by casein kinase 1 delta (CK1δ) acts as a molecular switch, redirecting its self‐assembly from macroscopic phase separation toward finite‐sized, spherical block‐copolymer micelles of ∼30 nm.

Radical‐Mediated In Situ Fluorescence Dye Deposition: A Simple Interfacial Signal Amplification Reaction for Ultrasensitive Immunoassay on Barcode Beads

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A radical‐mediated in situ fluorescence dye deposition (RIFD) reaction containing merely three elements of beads, dyes, and radicals is discovered for the first time, and its underlying mechanism is elucidated. This simple RIFD enables the interfacial and ultrafast deposition of free dyes onto barcode beads, serving as a powerful signal amplification ...

Caseins: Versatility of Their Micellar Organization in Relation to the Functional and Nutritional Properties of Milk

Molecules, 2023
The milk of mammals is a complex fluid mixture of various proteins, minerals, lipids, and other micronutrients that play a critical role in providing nutrition and immunity to newborns. Casein proteins together with calcium phosphate form large colloidal

RNA Promotes Synapsin Condensates That Organize Synaptic Vesicles in Live Neurons and Enable Localized Translation in Reconstituted System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Condensates at synapses organize synaptic vesicles (SVs) and are crucial for efficient neurotransmitter release, yet how RNA contributes to this mesoscale architecture remains poorly understood. Here we uncover that RNA modulates synapsin–driven condensates.
