Protein Engineering Design and Selection, 2003 The formation of a disulfide bond between adjacent cysteine residues is accompanied by the formation of a tight turn of the protein backbone. In nearly 90% of the structures analyzed a type VIII turn was found. The peptide bond between the two cysteines is in a distorted trans conformation, the omega torsion angle ranges from 159 to -133 degrees, with ...

Discerning protein pools by selective staining with self‐labeling tags
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cell surface proteins have an intra‐ and extracellular pool. Combining genetic fusion to self‐labeling tags that can be addressed with small molecule fluorophores allows separating these pools. We highlight recent developments and techniques for state‐of‐the‐art interrogation of cell surface proteins in the complex tissue setting.

Metal bridges to probe membrane ion channel structure and function
Biomolecular Concepts, 2015 Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that undergo important conformational changes as they open and close to control transmembrane flux of different ions.

Physicochemical properties that control protein aggregation also determine whether a protein is retained or released from necrotic cells [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 Amyloidogenic protein aggregation impairs cell function and is a hallmark of many chronic degenerative disorders. Protein aggregation is also a major event during acute injury; however, unlike amyloidogenesis, the process of injury-induced protein ...

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Breast cancer remains a major cause of cancer death in women, frequently developing endocrine therapy resistance. This study demonstrates that upregulated p21‐activated kinase 1 (PAK1) activity drives resistance to tamoxifen and long‐term estrogen deprivation in ER+ breast cancer models.

Thiol/Disulfide homeostasis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Romanian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2019 Background. Oxidative stress may play an important role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) etiopathogenesis. The thiol group is a very strong antioxidant. In this study, we aimed to investigate the presence of oxidative stress in patients with RA by evaluating

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...

Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 In proteins, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) reacts with redox-sensitive cysteines to form cysteine sulfenic acid, also known as S-sulfenylation. These cysteine oxidation events can steer diverse cellular processes by altering protein interactions, trafficking,
