Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Dynamic Allostery Modulates Catalytic Activity by Modifying the Hydrogen Bonding Network in the Catalytic Site of Human Pin1

Molecules, 2017
Allosteric communication among domains in modular proteins consisting of flexibly linked domains with complimentary roles remains poorly understood. To understand how complementary domains communicate, we have studied human Pin1, a representative modular

Selective replacement of the catalytic zinc of the human stromelysin-1 catalytic domain [PDF]

JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 1998
We have selectively replaced the catalytic zinc of the catalytic domain of stromelysin-1 (SCD) with other transition metals. Dialysis of the enzyme against 2 mM 1,10-phenanthroline, 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.5 in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2 removes the catalytic zinc, leaving the structural zinc site intact.

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Functional Characterization of the SHIP1-Domains Regarding Their Contribution to Inositol 5-Phosphatase Activity

Biomolecules
The Src homology 2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase 1 (SHIP1) is a multidomain protein consisting of two protein–protein interaction domains, the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, and the proline-rich region (PRR), as well as three phosphoinositide ...

The domain architecture of large guanine nucleotide exchange factors for the small GTP-binding protein Arf

BMC Genomics, 2005
Background Small G proteins, which are essential regulators of multiple cellular functions, are activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) that stimulate the exchange of the tightly bound GDP nucleotide by GTP.

The Second Catalytic Domain of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase δ (PTPδ) Binds to and Inhibits the First Catalytic Domain of PTPς [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1998
The LAR family protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), including LAR, PTP delta, and PTP sigma, are transmembrane proteins composed of a cell adhesion molecule-like ectodomain and two cytoplasmic catalytic domains: active D1 and inactive D2. We performed a yeast two-hybrid screen with the first catalytic domain of PTP sigma (PTP sigma-D1) as bait to ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
