Disruption of SETD3‐mediated histidine‐73 methylation by the BWCFF‐associated β‐actin G74S mutation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The β‐actin G74S mutation causes altered interaction of actin with SETD3, reducing histidine‐73 methylation efficiency and forming two distinct actin variants. The variable ratio of these variants across cell types and developmental stages contributes to tissue‐specific phenotypical changes. This imbalance may impair actin dynamics and mechanosensitive

Combining LOPIT with differential ultracentrifugation for high-resolution spatial proteomics
Nature Communications, 2019 Spatial proteomics allows studying cellular protein localisations at system-wide scale. Here, the authors show that combining the previously developed hyperLOPIT method with differential centrifugation yields protein localisation maps at suborganellar ...

Properties of African Cassava Mosaic Virus Capsid Protein Expressed in Fission Yeast
Viruses, 2016 The capsid proteins (CPs) of geminiviruses combine multiple functions for packaging the single-stranded viral genome, insect transmission and shuttling between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) CP was expressed in fission

Purification tags markedly affect self‐aggregation of CPEB3
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Although recombinant proteins are used to study protein aggregation in vitro, uncleaved tags can interfere with accurate interpretation. Our findings demonstrate that His₆‐GFP and His₁₂ tags significantly affect liquid droplet and amyloid fibril formation in the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of mouse cytoplasmic polyadenylation element‐binding ...

Quantification of p38/synaptophysin in highly purified adrenal medullary chromaffin vesicles [PDF]
, 1988 p38/synaptophysin is a membrane protein present in clear (synaptic) vesicles of neurons and endocrine ceHs [1-4]. From the amino acid sequence deduced from cDNAs encoding p38/synaptophysin, a model with several membrane spanning polypeptide segments and ...

The Optimized Fabrication of a Novel Nanobubble for Tumor Imaging
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Nanobubbles with a size of less than 1 µm can be used as ultrasound contrast agents for diagnosis and as drug/gene carriers for therapy. However, the optimal method of preparing uniform-sized nanobubbles is considered controversial.
