Structural Aspects of the Allergen-Antibody Interaction
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 The development of allergic disease involves the production of IgE antibodies upon allergen exposure in a process called sensitization. IgE binds to receptors on the surface of mast cells and basophils, and subsequent allergen exposure leads to cross ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Deep learning in next-generation vaccine development for infectious diseases
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic AcidsThe landscape of vaccine development was changed in the genomic era with the help of computer science. Computer-aided vaccine epitope selection has become a foundation of rational vaccine design.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Investigation of the epitopic structure of thymosin β10 by epitope mapping experiments
Peptides, 1999 We present here a study on the epitopic structure and the immunochemical characteristics of thymosin beta10 (Tbeta10), a 43 aminoacid peptide involved in important cellular mechanisms, by using the epitope mapping Multipin method. Octapeptides overlapping by one amino acid so as to represent the whole sequence of Tbeta10 were synthesized on polystyrene

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Epitope Mapping of Human Alpha-Fetoprotein
Tumor Biology, 1998 Thirty monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were compared with one another by two methods: Immunoaffinity electrochromatography or additive ELISA. The first method permitted to analyse the epitopes of native AFP in solution [Abelev et al., Immunol Lett 1994;40:133-138] while the other approach also detects the epitopes of ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
