Function of liver activation-regulated chemokine/CC chemokine ligand 20 is differently affected by cathepsin B and cathepsin D processing

open access: yes, 2006
Chemokine processing by proteases is emerging as an important regulatory mechanism of leukocyte functions and possibly also of cancer progression. We screened a large panel of chemokines for degradation by cathepsins B and D, two proteases involved in ...

PEG400 regulates Falcipain 2 activity through an allosteric mechanism

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Falcipain‐2 can potentially be leveraged as a drug target due to its critical role as a haemoglobinase during the intra‐erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we investigate the regulation of the proteolytic and haemoglobinase activity of falcipain‐2 in the presence of polyethylene glycol.

Targeted, receptor‐mediated delivery of a masked d‐amino acid cell‐penetrating peptide for cell‐specific phototoxicity

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
A targeted phototoxic peptide selectively accumulates in cells expressing chemokine‐like receptor 1 (CMKLR1). Phototoxicity of the native peptide is low, but cleavage by lysosomal protease cathepsin B releases a 6‐tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) labeled nona‐ᴅ‐arginine which mediates lysosomal rupture and cell death upon irradiation.

Phenotypic characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants that alleviate root growth defects in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis mutant

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Vitamin B6 is a critical molecule for plant metabolism and development. Rsr4‐1, a loss‐of‐function mutant in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis gene, has a distinct short root phenotype. Here we describe five novel suppressor mutants with an rsr4‐1 background that have normalized root growth and distinct phenotypic and molecular characteristics, representing a ...

High‐resolution spatial transcriptomic atlas of mouse soleus muscle: Unveiling single cell and subcellular heterogeneity in health and denervation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Seq‐Scope maps skeletal muscle transcriptomes at high spatial resolution while preserving histological context, revealing distinct responses of myofibers, neuromuscular junctions, and stromal cells to denervation. This spatial view uncovers fiber type‐specific and localized remodeling across intact muscle tissue.

Chronic Excessive Exercise Aggravates Apical Periodontitis in Mice

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the effects of overtraining on the development of apical periodontitis (AP) in mice. Methodology Sixty 6‐week‐old male C57BL/6 mice were allocated to six groups: sedentary without AP (SED); sedentary with AP (SED AP); aerobic training without AP (AERO); aerobic training with AP (AERO AP); overtraining without AP (OVER); and ...
