GTP Hydrolysis Without an Active Site Base: A Unifying Mechanism for Ras and Related GTPases.

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2019
GTP hydrolysis is a biologically crucial reaction, being involved in regulating almost all cellular processes. As a result the enzymes that catalyze this reaction are amongst the most important drug targets.

Metabolic Origin, Role and Fate of the Denaturant Guanidine

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.
The origin of metabolic guanidine is largely a mystery. We suggest it is created when guanine‐containing nucleotides are oxidised by molecular oxygen instead of being broken down into urea as purines normally would. Guanidine may act as a signal to help cells control the level of reactive oxygen species.

Clinical Trial of Human Fetal Brain‐Derived Neural Stem/Progenitor Cell Transplantation in Patients with Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
In a phase I/IIa open‐label and nonrandomized controlled clinical trial, we sought to assess the safety and neurological effects of human neural stem/progenitor cells (hNSPCs) transplanted into the injured cord after traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI).

Biofilms and cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) signaling: lessons from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacteria

open access: yes, 2016
The cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) second messenger represents a signaling system that regulates many bacterial behaviors and is of key importance for driving the lifestyle switch between motile loner cells and biofilm formers.

The Malignant Transformation of Viral Hepatitis to Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Mechanisms and Interventions

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2025.
The malignant transformation from chronic viral hepatitis to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) involves intricate interactions among viral, host, and environmental factors. Key drivers of this transformation include viral integration, genomic instability, epigenetic modifications, oxidative stress, gut microbiota dysbiosis, chronic inflammation, immune ...

Specific Proteins in Nontuberculous Mycobacteria: New Potential Tools

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been isolated from water, soil, air, food, protozoa, plants, animals, and humans. Although most NTM are saprophytes, approximately one‐third of NTM have been associated with human diseases. In this study, we did a comparative proteomic analysis among five NTM strains isolated from several sources.

Restricted Access to Myeloid Cells Explained [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The lentiviral accessory protein, Vpx, is known to counteract a restriction factor that is specific to myeloid cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells. This review summarizes the findings in two seminal studies that identify SAMHD1 as the cellular
