Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum organelle glue as maturation promoter for origination/dimensional dual‐cross cardiomyocytes

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum contact sites (MERCS) are areas where the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum closely interact. In this study, we utilize synthetic organelle glues to artificially engineer MERCS for regulating cardiomyocyte development, through which the immature and chemo‐plasticity issues of undifferentiated cells are addressed.

PROTEIN INHIBITORS SYNTHESISED BY MICROORGANISMS [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologia Acta, 2013
In a review the literature data on protein inhibitors of peptidases synthesised by different types of microorganisms are systematized. It is shown that at the present time on the basis of amino acid sequence homology protein inhibitors are grouped into ...

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

Involvement of Arabidopsis thaliana endoplasmic reticulum KDEL-tailed cysteine endopeptidase 1 (AtCEP1) in powdery mildew-induced and AtCPR5-controlled cell death. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a prerequisite for successful development and it limits the spread of biotrophic pathogens in a rapid hypersensitive response at the site of infection.

Proteomic signatures of equine dental tooth tissues in ageing and disease

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ageing and dental disease in horses lead to structural and functional deterioration of dental tissues, yet their molecular signatures remain poorly characterised. Understanding how these processes alter the protein composition of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp is essential for improving equine oral health and identifying ...

Extracellular proteolytic activation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa aminopeptidase (PaAP) and insight into the role of its non-catalytic N-terminal domain.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes several endopeptidases, including elastase, alkaline proteinase (Apr), a lysine-specific endopeptidase (LysC), and an aminopeptidase (PaAP), all of which are important virulence factors.

Phylogenetic analysis of the bacterial Pro-Pro-endopeptidase domain reveals a diverse family including secreted and membrane anchored proteins

open access: yesCurrent Research in Microbial Sciences, 2021
Pro-Pro-endopeptidases (PPEP, EC 3.4.24.89) are secreted, zinc metalloproteases that have the unusual capacity to cleave a peptide bond between two prolines, a bond that is generally less sensitive to proteolytic cleavage. Two well studied members of the

Cross‐protective effect of a multicomponent fusion protein vaccine during a natural episode of Streptococcus zooepidemicus respiratory disease in ponies

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus is a highly diverse opportunistic pathogen of horses, associated with respiratory disease and endometritis. Objectives To characterise S. zooepidemicus isolates recovered from young ponies during a natural episode of respiratory disease, and to determine if vaccination with Strangvac®, a ...

Differential Proteomic Analysis to Reveal the Mechanism of Heat Damage in Soybean Using a Data‐Independent Acquisition (DIA) Strategy

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Heat‐stressed soybeans adapt to elevated temperatures through coordinate regulation of destructive and protective protein expression ‐ suppressing detrimental proteins while enhancing beneficial ones. ABSTRACT Soybean represents the largest imported agricultural product in China. Imported soybeans are typically transported via maritime shipping. During

Distinct and Specific Role of NlpC/P60 Endopeptidases LytA and LytB in Cell Elongation and Division of Lactobacillus plantarum

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential lattice of the bacterial cell wall that needs to be continuously remodeled to allow growth. This task is ensured by the concerted action of PG synthases that insert new material in the pre-existing structure and PG ...
