Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Post-Translational Modification and Subcellular Distribution of Rac1: An Update

Cells, 2018
Rac1 is a small GTPase that belongs to the Rho family. The Rho family of small GTPases is a subfamily of the Ras superfamily. The Rho family of GTPases mediate a plethora of cellular effects, including regulation of cytoarchitecture, cell size, cell ...

An intracellular recombinant single‐chain variable antibody fragment as a new class of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger involved in human (patho‐)physiology. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a major cGMP hydrolyzing enzyme in many cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Several highly selective PDE5 inhibitors are in clinical use. However, there are currently no

Anti-cancer Effects of a Chemically Modified miR-143 on Bladder Cancer by Either Systemic or Intravesical Treatment

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2019
We developed a novel chemically modified miR-143 (miR-143#12), and with it we investigated the contribution of miR-143 to the pathogenesis of bladder cancer (BC), in which miR-143 is extremely downregulated.

A phased-addition strategy enhances the yield of RNAs obtained by in vitro transcription with modified transcriptional initiators [PDF]

, 2015
RNA is active in multiple biological processes, not only as an information carrier but in catalyzing reactions and regulating gene expression. To understand the basis for this versatility, it is critical to establish structure-function relationships in ...

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Molecular regulation of phagocyte function. Evidence for involvement of a guanosine triphosphate-binding protein in opsonin-mediated phagocytosis by monocytes.

Journal of Immunology, 1987
Although many functions of phagocytes are known to be regulated by guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins, phagocytosis itself has not been considered one of these. However, previous studies have examined only unstimulated neutrophil phagocytosis.

Binding of Bacillus subtilis dynamin‐like protein DynA to the bacterial membrane is essential for effective phage defense

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The bacterial dynamin‐like protein DynA from Bacillus subtilis plays a key role in phage defense. It binds the plasma membrane through a unique paddle domain in its D1 subunit. This membrane association is essential for its protective function, likely preventing explosive membrane rupture following phage infection.

Dynamics of the CD9 interactome during bacterial infection of epithelial cells by proximity labelling proteomics

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able
