FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Protein Dynamics and its Correlation to Protein Activity and Stability [PDF]
, 2009 The aim of this thesis is to investigate the role of fast protein dynamics (picosecond timescale) in enzyme activity and stability, and specifically to test the hypothesis that enzyme activity and stability are inversely related by their internal ...

Role of conformational dynamics in the evolution of novel enzyme function
, 2018 Enzymes exist as a dynamic ensemble of conformations, each potentially playing a key role in substrate binding, the chemical transformation, or product release.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The neurokinin 1 receptor exists as full‐length (NK1L) and C‐terminally truncated (NK1S) splice variants. We show that NK1S heterodimerizes with NK1L, impairing Gαq coupling and Ca2+ mobilization while enhancing β‐arrestin1 recruitment. NK1S suppresses substance P‐driven gene expression and cell migration, revealing NK1S as an endogenous biased ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Human ABCE1 cannot functionally replace its yeast ortholog. Yeast–human chimera analysis identified NBD1 as a major interspecies barrier. Genetic screening yielded hABCE1 revertants that rescue yeast viability but fail to suppress aberrant translation reinitiation in the 3′ UTR.

MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.

Nucleic acid enzymes: The fusion of self-assembly and conformational computing
, 2009 Macromolecules are the predominant physical substrate sup-porting information processing in organisms. Two key characteristics—conformational dynamics and self-assembly properties—render macro-molecules unique in this context.

Recent insights into the molecular mechanism of ubiquinol oxidation by cytochrome bc1
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The review reflects on the mechanism of the catalytic reaction in cytochrome bc1: the electron bifurcation that involves the separation of two electrons derived from the quinol oxidation to opposite sides of the enzyme across the membrane. This review summarizes the long‐standing effort to understand the mechanism of quinol oxidation catalyzed by ...

NMR RELAXATION METHODS TO DETECT PROTEIN DYNAMICS: EVALUATION OF ACCURACY, IMPROVEMENT OF THE METHODOLOGY, AND ITS APPLICATION [PDF]
, 2013 Proteins are dynamic molecules whose ability to undergo conformational changes and fluctuations can impact their biological function, such as enzyme catalysis and substrate recognition. Mutations or perturbations that do not significantly change protein
