Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

The in Vitro Antigenicity of Plasmodium vivax Rhoptry Neck Protein 2 (PvRON2) B- and T-Epitopes Selected by HLA-DRB1 Binding Profile

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax is a neglected disease which is responsible for the highest morbidity in both Americas and Asia. Despite continuous public health efforts to prevent malarial infection, an effective antimalarial vaccine is still ...

Review of Immunoinformatic approaches to in-silico B-cell epitope prediction

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, the current state of in-silico, B-cell epitope prediction is discussed. Recommendations for improving some of the approaches encountered are outlined, along with the presentation of an entirely novel technique, which uses molecular ...

Restoration and HDX-MS Epitope Mapping of a Broad-Spectrum SARS-Cov-2 Antibody

open access: yes, 2023
Highly contagious diseases like SARS-Cov-2 posts a major threat for public health and global economy, both preventative and therapeutic solutions are therefore urgently needed. Through the use of epitope-guided antibody design, we successfully restored a

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Food allergens and mucosal immune systems with special reference to recognition of food allergens by gut-associated lymphoid tissue

open access: yesAllergology International, 1999
Food allergy, triggered by an aberrant immune response elicited by orally ingested food allergens, is generated through a complicated mechanism because the allergen interacts with the mucosal immune system (the gut- associated lymphoid tissue, GALT) and ...

Epitope-driven common subunit vaccine design against H. pylori strains

open access: yes, 2018
The developing potent vaccine is a pre-emptive strategy to tackle drug abuses and maladies of multidrug-resistant Helicobacter pylori strains. Ongoing vaccine studies are being conducted, however, development is in its infancy as ineffective vaccine ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
