Factor H-related protein 1 neutralizes anti-factor H autoantibodies in autoimmune hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]

, 2011
The autoimmune form of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by circulating autoantibodies against the complement regulator factor H, and is often associated with deficiency of the factor H-related proteins CFHR1 and CFHR3.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Pneumococcal histidine triad proteins are regulated by the Zn(2+)-dependent repressor AdcR and inhibit complement deposition through the recruitment of complement factor H [PDF]

, 2009
The pneumococcal histidine triad (Pht) proteins are a recently recognized family of surface proteins, comprising 4 members: PhtA, PhtB, PhtD, and PhtE. They are being promoted for inclusion in a multicomponent pneumococcal protein vaccine currently under

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Mapping the Complement Factor H-Related Protein 1 (CFHR1):C3b/C3d Interactions

PLOS ONE, 2016
Complement factor H-related protein 1 (CFHR1) is a complement regulator which has been reported to regulate complement by blocking C5 convertase activity and interfering with C5b surface association. CFHR1 also competes with complement factor H (CFH) for binding to C3b, and may act as an antagonist of CFH-directed regulation on cell surfaces.

Identification of a novel zinc metalloprotease through a global analysis of clostridium difficile extracellular proteins [PDF]

, 2013
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although the cell surface proteins are recognized to be important in clostridial pathogenesis, biological functions of only a few are known.

Helicobacter pylori infection and expressions of EGF, EGFR and c-erbB-2 proteins in gastric carcinoma.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010
The family of epidermal growth factor (EGF, EGFR, c-erbB-2) plays a pivotal role in gastric cancer progression, invasion and metastasizing. Helicobacter pylori infection is known to contribute significantly to the formation and progression of gastric ...
