Assessment of Attainable Distances in Proteins by Through‐Space 19F–19F Couplings

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
De novo synthesized difluorinated tryptophan analogues are site‐specifically incorporated into Cyclophilin A (CypA). 19F–19F NOESY build‐up experiments are recorded for each labeled protein, and the distances derived from cross‐relaxation rates are compared to reference distances.

Cyclosporine inhibits a direct interaction between cyclophilins and hepatitis C NS5A.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundHepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is a leading indication for liver transplantation. HCV infection reoccurs almost universally post transplant, decreasing both graft longevity and patient survival.

Two Alimentary Canal Proteins, Fo-GN and Fo-Cyp1, Act in Western Flower Thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis TSWV Infection

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is a plant virus that causes massive economic damage to high-valued crops. This virus is transmitted by specific thrips, including the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis.

Metrnl: A Novel Therapeutic Target in Atherosclerosis

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease and the main pathological basis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Exploration of endogenous protective factors in the disease is beneficial for the establishment of new therapeutic strategies.

S-cyclophilin. New member of the cyclophilin family associated with the secretory pathway

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1991
Cyclophilin is an abundant and ubiquitous cytosolic protein that is conserved throughout evolution from man to bacteria. It is the target of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A. Cyclophilin has peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans-isomerase activity, and it accelerates protein folding in vitro, suggesting that it might be involved in the folding of cytosolic

Subtype Specific Differences in NS5A Domain II Reveals Involvement of Proline at Position 310 in Cyclosporine Susceptibility of Hepatitis C Virus

open access: yesViruses, 2012
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is susceptible to cyclosporine (CsA) and other cyclophilin (CypA) inhibitors, but the genetic basis of susceptibility is controversial. Whether genetic variation in NS5A alters cell culture susceptibility of HCV to CypA inhibition

Beyond Bioenergetics: Moonlighting Functions of F1FO‐ATPase From ATP Synthesis to an ATP‐Wasting Death Switch

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial F1FO‐ATPase is classically viewed as the “splendid” rotary nanomachine that sustains life by converting the proton‐motive force (pmf) into ATP. Yet this same complex can adopt a second, context‐dependent function that links bioenergetics to cell fate.

A cDNA Clone for Cyclophilin from Griffithsia japonica and Phylogenetic Analysis of Cyclophilins

open access: yesMolecules and Cells, 2002
A cDNA clone, designated as Griffithsia japonica cyclophilin-1 (GjCyp-1), was isolated by differential screening of a cDNA library for a red alga, G. japonica. The transcript that corresponded to GjCyp-1 was abundant in vegetative, male, and tetrasporangial thalli, but only the basal level of the transcript was detected in female gametophytes ...

Generalizing the Gaussian Network Model: Spanning‐Tree Thermodynamics Shows Entropy‐Driven KRAS Activation

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The GTPase KRAS executes a conformational switch between a GTP‐bound active state and a GDP‐bound inactive state, a process central to oncogenic signaling. However, the structural basis of this switching at the level of residue‐contact organization remains incompletely characterized by traditional binary structural models.

Covalent drug discovery: Progress against key targets, emerging strategies and lessons learnt

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent drug discovery is currently experiencing a boom in industrial and academic interest. To date, at least 75 covalent drugs have received regulatory approval, targeting both traditional target classes and more challenging proteins for which other approaches failed. In many cases, unique aspects of covalent targeting are essential for the
