Structural determinants of APOBEC3B non-catalytic domain for molecular assembly and catalytic regulation [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2017
The catalytic activity of human cytidine deaminase APOBEC3B (A3B) has been correlated with kataegic mutational patterns within multiple cancer types. The molecular basis of how the N-terminal non-catalytic CD1 regulates the catalytic activity and consequently, biological function of A3B remains relatively unknown.

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.

Functional characterization of DYRK1A missense variants associated with a syndromic form of intellectual deficiency and autism

Biology Open, 2018
Haploinsufficiency of DYRK1A is a cause of a neurodevelopmental syndrome termed mental retardation autosomal dominant 7 (MRD7). Several truncation mutations, microdeletions and missense variants have been identified and result in a recognizable ...

Functional analysis of the N‐terminal region of acetylxylan esterase from Caldanaerobacter subterraneus subsp. tengcongensis

FEBS Open Bio, 2022
Acetylxylan esterase from Caldanaerobacter subterraneus subsp. tengcongensis (TTE0866) has an N‐terminal region (NTR; residues 23–135) between the signal sequence (residues 1–22) and the catalytic domain (residues 136–324), which is of unknown function ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

A bifunctional endolytic alginate lyase with two different lyase catalytic domains from Vibrio sp. H204

Frontiers in Microbiology
Alginate lyases can fully degrade alginate into various size-defined unsaturated oligosaccharide products by β-elimination. Here, we identified the bifunctional endolytic alginate lyase Aly35 from the marine bacterium Vibrio sp. Strain H204.

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 ...

Unconventional structure and mechanisms for membrane interaction and translocation of the NF-κB-targeting toxin AIP56

Nature Communications, 2023
Bacterial AB toxins are secreted key virulence factors that are internalized by target cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, translocating their enzymatic domain to the cytosol from endosomes (short-trip) or the endoplasmic reticulum (long-trip ...

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+.
