ACTIVIN RECEPTOR LIGAND FOR THR TREATMENT OF BETA-THALASSEMIA: a SERENDIPITOUS DISCOVERY

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2020
b-thalassemia is a hereditary disorder caused by defective production of b-globin chains of hemoglobin (Hb) that leads to an increased a/b globins ratio with subsequent free a-globins.

Reactions of HNO with Metal Porphyrins: Underscoring the Biological Relevance of HNO [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Azanone (1 HNO, nitroxyl) shows interesting yet poorly understood chemical and biological effects. HNO has some overlapping properties with nitric oxide (NO), sharing its biological reactivity toward heme proteins, thiols, and oxygen.

EPR analysis of cyanide complexes of wild-type human neuroglobin and mutants in comparison to horse heart myoglobin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data reveal large differences between the ferric (C-)cyanide complexes of wild-type human neuroglobin (NGB) and its H64Q and F28L point mutants and the cyanide complexes of mammalian myo-and haemoglobin.

An Interplay of Gases: Oxygen and Hydrogen in Biological Systems

open access: yesOxygen
Produced by photosynthesis, oxygen (O2) is a fundamentally important gas in biological systems, playing roles as a terminal electron receptor in respiration and in host defence through the creation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Nitrophorins and nitrobindins: structure and function

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2017
Classical all α-helical globins are present in all living organisms and are ordered in three lineages: (i) flavohemoglobins and single domain globins, (ii) protoglobins and globin coupled sensors and (iii) truncated hemoglobins, displaying the 3/3 or the

Proximal and distal control for ligand binding in neuroglobin: role of the CD loop and evidence for His64 gating [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Neuroglobin (Ngb) is predominantly expressed in neurons of the central and peripheral nervous systems and it clearly seems to be involved in neuroprotection.

Decreased cold‐sensing function of the transient receptor potential channel TRPM8 from tailed amphibians

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

Structural interpretation of the amino acid sequence of a second domain from the Artemia covalent polymer globin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Artemia has a complex extracellular hemoglobin of Mr 260,000 comprising two globin chains (Mr 130,000) each of which is a polymer of eight covalently linked domains of Mr 16,000.

A Cryoprotectant‐Compatible Nanoporous Platform for Stable and Scalable Delivery of Biopharmaceuticals

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A cryoprotectant‐compatible nanoporous platform enables ambient‐stable and scalable delivery of gene editing therapeutics. By combining hierarchical pore architecture with optimized lyophilization chemistry, the system preserves Cas9‐RNP activity post‐freeze‐drying.

Testes-specific hemoglobins in Drosophila evolved by a combination of sub- and neofunctionalization after gene duplication

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background For a long time the presence of respiratory proteins in most insects has been considered unnecessary. However, in recent years it has become evident that globins belong to the standard repertoire of the insect genome.
