Structural Stability Comparisons Between Natural and Engineered Group II Chaperonins: Are Crenarchaeal “Heat Shock” Proteins Also “pH Shock” Resistant?

Microorganisms
Archaeal group II chaperonins, also known as heat shock proteins (HSPs), are abundantly expressed in Sulfolobales. HSPα and HSPβ gene expression is upregulated during thermal shock. HSPs form large 18-mer complexes that assist in folding nascent proteins

Mixed lineage kinase 3 mediates SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced kidney injury via the Hsp70‐IL‐17A axis

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Kidney samples from patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) showed upregulated expression and activity of Mixed Lineage Kinase (MLK3). Based on the mechanistic studies, we identified MLK3 as a critical player in promoting SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced kidney injury.

Production of recombinant human granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor in thermoinducible E. coli: Tuning inclusion body architecture and protein yield via dissolved oxygen control

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Recombinant protein expression in Escherichia coli frequently results in the formation of inclusion bodies (IBs), which provide high protein accumulation but often require additional steps to recover functional protein. Although culture conditions strongly influence IB physicochemical and structural characteristics, the impact of ...

Improving protein secretion with autophagy‐inhibiting or proteasome‐activating small molecules

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Therapeutic proteins are produced frequently by mammalian cells in large‐scale bioreactors. As a result, producer cells are exposed to a chemically (nutrients, gas exchange, target protein overexpression) and physically (shear due to mixing) stressful environment, which can lead to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and loss of ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Heat shock proteins in hypothermia: a review

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Hypothermia is a serious condition marked by a significant decrease in core body temperature, posing considerable risks to biological systems. In response to thermal stress, cells activate protective mechanisms, often synthesizing heat shock proteins ...

Early Dapagliflozin and Melatonin Treatment Ameliorated LV Fibrosis via Suppressing TGF‐β1/Smads and Activating Nrf2‐ARE Signaling in MI Rodent

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study tested whether combined dapagliflozin (DAPA) and melatonin (Mel) therapy was superior to merely one for ameliorating the left ventricular (LV) fibrosis/remodeling and improving LV ejection fraction (LVEF) in rats after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In vitro study demonstrated that DAPA treatment significantly suppressed the TGF‐

Data‐Driven Insights into Hyperkinetic Disorders in Neurodevelopmental Syndromes and Epileptic Encephalopathies

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Childhood‐onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic ...

Exteroceptive Reflexes in Stiff Person Syndrome, Other Neurological Conditions and Healthy Controls

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare disabling neurological condition with overlapping symptomatology with more common neurological conditions. Exaggerated exteroceptive reflex mechanisms are thought to play a role in its pathophysiology.
