XIAP Deficiency Impairs Colonic Tuft Cell Development and Predisposes to Crohn's Disease
XIAP deficiency leads to impaired colonic tuft cells development and JAK–‐STAT pathway hyperactivation in CD patients and mice. Mechanically, XIAP regulates tuft cells development through Wnt–‐TLE4/TCF–‐ASCL2 signaling. Tuft cells deficiency predisposes XIAP‑‐deficient CD patients or Xiap−/−‐/‐ mice to hazardous microbial effects, driving colonic ...

Substrate selectivity of human histidine methyltransferase METTL9
Abstract Methylation of histidine residues in zinc transporters by histidine methyltransferase METTL9 plays an important role in modulating their metal‐binding properties. Here, we report synthetic, enzymatic, and computational studies on human METTL9‐catalyzed Nπ‐methylation of His375 in zinc transporter SLC39A5‐derived peptides in which the histidine

Residues with backbone N‐amination have been introduced into a region of parallel β‐sheet secondary structure. Contrary to predictions, the N‐amination of Trp9 or Phe33 did not give an increase in the thermal stability of DS119. MD simulations suggest this is due to the highly fluctuating nature of the β‐sheet region. ABSTRACT The miniprotein DS119 has

A simple two‐stage extrusion aligns supramolecular fibrils into 1D gel noodles. The residual pressure in the viscous pre‐gel drives the formation of a thin filament that is locked by Ca2+ cross‐linker into a highly anisotropic segment. The aligned noodles show enhanced tensile strength and guide myoblast elongation along the fiber, mimicking aligned ...

Optimal 1TEL–target protein linker character is target protein‐dependent
In this study, we examine the effect of short to medium‐length flexible, semi‐flexible and rigid linkers on the crystallization of a DARPin or the TNK1 UBA domain fused to the 1TEL protein crystallization chaperone, demonstrating that while rigid linkers can impair crystallization and reduce diffraction quality, the ideal linker character remains ...
