Calcium-Binding Proteins with Disordered Structure and Their Role in Secretion, Storage, and Cellular Signaling

Biomolecules, 2018
Calcium is one of the most important second messengers and its intracellular signaling regulates many aspects of cell physiology. Calcium ions, like phosphate ions, are highly charged and thus are able to alter protein conformation upon binding; thereby ...

Search for New Allergens in Lolium perenne Pollen Growing under Different Air Pollution Conditions by Comparative Transcriptome Study

Plants, 2020
The relationship between air pollution and the allergenic capacity of pollen is widely accepted, with allergenicity being directly related to air pollution. To our knowledge, this is the first study comparing the differential expression of Lolium perenne

Inducing Ferromagnetism by Structural Engineering in a Strongly Spin‐Orbit Coupled Oxide

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Magnetic materials with strong spin‐orbit coupling (SOC) are essential for the advancement of spin‐orbitronic devices, as they enable efficient spin‐charge conversion, complex magnetic structures, spin‐valley physics, topological phases and other exotic phenomena.

The mitochondrial Ras-related GTPase Miro: views from inside and outside the metazoan kingdom

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Miro GTPase, a member of the Ras superfamily, consists of two GTPase domains flanking a pair of EF hand motifs and a C-terminal transmembrane domain that anchors the protein to the mitochondrial outer membrane. Since the identification of Miro in humans,

The Kinetoplastid-Specific Protein TcCAL1 Plays Different Roles During In Vitro Differentiation and Host-Cell Invasion in Trypanosoma cruzi

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
In the pathogen Typanosoma cruzi, the calcium ion (Ca2+) regulates key processes for parasite survival. However, the mechanisms decoding Ca2+ signals are not fully identified or understood.

Self‐Regulating Sodium‐Ion Battery Materials: From Phase Reconstruction to Functional Activation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐regulating sodium‐ion batteries hinge on programmable phase behavior in layered oxides, interphases that renew without growth, and electrolytes that steer solvation and chemistry. This review distills mechanisms into design rules that span composition, site and entropy tuning, and self‐buffering anodes, linking operando evidence to choices and ...

Characterization and Expression Analysis of the Ca²⁺/Cation Antiporter Gene Family in Tomatoes

Plants, 2019
The Ca2+/cation antiporter (CaCA) superfamily plays an important role in the regulation of the essential element Ca2+ and cation concentrations. Characterization and expression analyses of CaCA superfamily genes were performed in the tomato (Solanum ...

The role of calcium binding to the EF-hand-like motif in bacterial solute-binding protein for alginate import

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2021
ABSTRACT Gram-negative Sphingomonas sp. A1 incorporates acidic polysaccharide alginate into the cytoplasm via a cell-surface alginate-binding protein (AlgQ2)-dependent ATP-binding cassette transporter (AlgM1M2SS). We investigated the function of calcium bound to the EF-hand-like motif in AlgQ2 by introducing mutations at the calcium ...

Vacuum‐Evaporated, Lead‐Free RbYbI3 Perovskite Interlayers for Universal Electron Injection in High‐Performance Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The optoelectronic performance of organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) is critically governed by charge injection from electrodes into organic layers, where significant energy barriers at the interfaces often impede efficient charge injection.

Farnesyltransferase Deficiency in Cardiomyocytes Initiates Senescence and Contributes to Cardiac Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipid overload suppresses SREBF2‐mediated FNTB expression, leading to defective Lamin A maturation and nuclear envelope instability. This nuclear catastrophe triggers a pro‐fibrotic senescence program in cardiomyocytes. Notably, restoring nuclear integrity via AAV9‐based gene therapy effectively attenuates cardiac remodeling, identifying the ...
