Proline Isomerization: From the Chemistry and Biology to Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Proline isomerization, the process of interconversion between the cis- and trans-forms of proline, is an important and unique post-translational modification that can affect protein folding and conformations, and ultimately regulate protein functions and

Assisted evolution enables HIV-1 to overcome a high trim5α-imposed genetic barrier to rhesus macaque tropism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Diversification of antiretroviral factors during host evolution has erected formidable barriers to cross-species retrovirus transmission. This phenomenon likely protects humans from infection by many modern retroviruses, but it has also impaired the ...

Plant Cyclophilins: Multifaceted Proteins With Versatile Roles

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Cyclophilins constitute a family of ubiquitous proteins that bind cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressant drug. Several of these proteins possess peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity that catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of the ...

Genome-wide characterization and identification of cyclophilin genes associated with leaf rust resistance in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Cyclophilins (CYPs) are a group of highly conserved proteins involved in host-pathogen interactions in diverse plant species. However, the role of CYPs during disease resistance in wheat remains largely elusive.

CC-4066 therapy delivered to kidneys during cold storage and assessed with normothermic reperfusion is feasible and safe

open access: yesFrontiers in Transplantation, 2023
IntroductionCurrently there is an urgent need to translate interventions that may be beneficial to marginal donor kidneys prior to transplant, to improve their quality from bench to bedside. This project investigated the effects of CC-4066, a potent dual

Association of cyclophilins and cardiovascular risk factors in coronary artery disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Cyclophilins are chaperone proteins that play important roles in signal transduction. Among them, cyclophilins A, B, C, and D were widely associated with inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. Cyclophilins A and C have been proposed as coronary artery

Evidence that intracellular cyclophilin A and cyclophilin A/CD147 receptor-mediated ERK1/2 signalling can protect neurons against in vitro oxidative and ischemic injury

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2007
We previously reported that cyclophilin A protein is up-regulated in cortical neuronal cultures following several preconditioning treatments. In the present study, we have demonstrated that adenoviral-mediated over-expression of cyclophilin A in rat ...

Cyclophilin D-induced mitochondrial impairment confers axonal injury after intracerebral hemorrhage in mice

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2023
The mitochondrial permeability transition pore is a nonspecific transmembrane channel. Inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening has been shown to alleviate mitochondrial swelling, calcium overload, and axonal degeneration ...
