Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Two sides of the same coin: heat shock proteins as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for some complex diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Heat shock proteins are molecular chaperones that play crucial roles in the folding and unfolding of complex polypeptides within the cellular system. These molecules are involved in various processes, including vesicular transport, prevention of protein ...

Enhanced levels of cold shock proteins in Listeria monocytogenes LO28 upon exposure to low temperature and high hydrostatic pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Listeria monocytogenes is a psychrotrophic food-borne pathogen that is problematic for the food industry because of its ubiquitous distribution in nature and its ability to grow at low temperatures and in the presence of high salt concentrations.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Expression of Hsp72 in Lymphocytes in Patients with Febrile Convulsion

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2005
The pathophysiology of febrile convulsion, the most common childhood neurologic disease, remains unclear. In this study, we investigated what role a heat shock protein plays in this disease.

Heat Shock Proteins in Fish Health and Diseases: A Pharmacological Perspective

open access: yes, 2017
Disease outbreaks are considered one of the largest constraints for the sustainable development of the aquaculture sector. Though applications of antibiotics manage to control and prevent infectious microbial diseases, however, its extensive uses have ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Heat Shock Proteins in Cancer

open access: yesPharmedicine Journal
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are vital in the progression of cancer, aiding in the survival, proliferation, and metastasis of tumor cells. The overexpression of particular HSPs, such as HSP70 and HSP27, is often found in various malignancies, including ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Heat Shock Proteins in Maize [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1983
The pattern of protein synthesis in roots of 3-day-old maize seedlings (Zea mays L.) is rapidly and dramatically altered when the incubation temperature is raised from 25 to 40 degrees C. One-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate gels reveal that although synthesis of the proteins observed at 25 degrees C continues at 40 degrees C, a new set of ;heat ...
