Studies on interactions of exported "plasmodium falciparum" membrane proteins [PDF]
, 2014 Responsible for about 700’000 annual deaths worldwide, malaria today is still one of the major health problems in developing countries. The most deadly form of human malaria called malaria tropica is caused by the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium ...

BiosensorsIntroducing 3-aminotyrosine (aY), a noncanonical amino acid (ncAA), into green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromophores shows promise for achieving red-shifted fluorescence. However, inconsistent results, including undesired green fluorescent species,

Nature Communications, 2017 Centrosome duplication is synchronized with cell cycle events but how this is regulated at a molecular level is unclear. Here, the authors show that the DNA replication licensing factor Cdc6 restrains centrosome duplication via binding and inhibiting Sas-

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Cell-Membrane-Anchored DNA Nanoplatform for Programming Cellular Interactions
, 2019 Cell–cell interactions are mediated through compositions expressed on the membrane. Engineering the cell surface to display functional modules with high biocompatibility, high controllability, and high stability would offer great opportunities for ...

Polymer-encased nanodiscs with improved buffer compatibility
Scientific Reports, 2017 Styrene-maleic acid copolymers allow for solubilization and reconstitution of membrane proteins into nanodiscs. These polymer-encased nanodiscs are promising platforms for studies of membrane proteins in a near-physiologic environment without the use of ...

Skeletal muscle delimited myopathy and verapamil toxicity in SUR2 mutant mouse models of AIMS
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2023 ABCC9‐related intellectual disability and myopathy syndrome (AIMS) arises from loss‐of‐function (LoF) mutations in the ABCC9 gene, which encodes the SUR2 subunit of ATP‐sensitive potassium (KATP) channels.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Nature Communications, 2023 Lysosomes communicate through cholesterol transfer at endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact sites. At these sites, the Niemann Pick C1 cholesterol transporter (NPC1) facilitates the removal of cholesterol from lysosomes, which is then transferred to the ER ...
