Trypanosoma cruzi: cell charge distribution

open access: yesRevista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1985
Differences in cell charge between epimastigote and trypomastigote populations were compared in Y, Cl and Colombiana strains of T. cruzi. Trypomastigote populations were more homogenous in relation to cell charge than epimastigotes.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS 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.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

EQCM and EIS Study of the Effect of Potential of Zero Charge on Escherichia Coli Biofilm Development

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2010
Using EQCM method, the influence of electrode potential on Escherichia coli (E. coli) biofilm development was investigated in a range from −0.6V to 0.6V. Parabolic dependence of the cell density on the electrode potential was observed.

Inner-sphere complexation of cations at the rutile-water interface: A concise surface structural interpretation with the CD and MUSIC model

open access: yes, 2009
Acid–base reactivity and ion-interaction between mineral surfaces and aqueous solutions is most frequently investigated at the macroscopic scale as a function of pH.

Zwitterionic Osmolytes Employ Dual Mechanisms for Resurrection of Surface Charge under Salt-stress

open access: yes, 2022
Salt imbalance in cells is a major detrimental abiotic stress which causes ionic toxicity and disrupts important cellular functions. To counter this saline stress, cell often produces low molecular weight cosolutes, known as osmolytes, which have the ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Effects of paclitaxel nanocrystals surface charge on cell internalization

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016
In this study, we investigated the influence of paclitaxel nanocrystals (PTX-NC) surface charge on cell internalization and cell cytotoxicity. PTX-NCs were prepared using the nano-precipitation method. The surface-modified PTX-NCs were prepared using an absorption method with positively charged poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and negatively ...
