Subtype‐associated complexity and prognostic significance of the NLRP3 inflammasome landscape in pancreatic neoplasms

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) can progress into malignant pancreatic cancer, posing challenges in accurately assessing the risk of malignancy.

Targeting highly attenuated IL-18 to PD-1 for enhanced anti-tumor activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Checkpoint inhibitors targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis have revolutionized cancer immunotherapy, yet response rates remain limited. To enhance efficacy, next-generation approaches target T cell-activating cytokines to PD-1 via antibodies.

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Protein-ligand binding affinities from large-scale quantum mechanical simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The accurate prediction of protein-drug binding affinities is a major aim of computational drug optimisation and development. A quantitative measure of binding affinity is provided by the free energy of binding, and such calculations typically require ...

AscF in the mycobacterial CIII–CIV supercomplex lacks metal and nucleotide binding but links malate oxidation to respiration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The mycobacterial CIII‐CIV respiratory supercomplex is an obligate assembly, encompassing several subunits of unknown functions. We have characterized the intracellular subunit AscF, and show that it is unlikely to be a sensor for metals or nucleotides, but is required for growth on nonfermentable energy sources, and likely works as an adapter for ...

ΔNp63α a key factor of epithelial differentiation controls the activity of YB-1 oncoprotein: potential implications in carcinogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
My thesis unveils a novel protein-protein association involving ΔNp63αand YB-1 and a mechanism through which a factor essential for epithelial development and differentiation can control the activity of an ...

The therapeutic opportunities and pitfalls of using iron ion chelators to treat neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Although too much iron in the brain promotes neurodegeneration, iron ion chelators have had mixed effects in clinical trials. This review explains why; some chelators do not render the iron redox‐inactive (e.g., L1) whereas others do (e.g., desferrioxamine).

Identification of the plant mitochondrial OrfX protein: A mass spectrometry approach

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The mitochondrial genome of plants contains an open reading frame, orfx, which encodes a rare protein that has so far escaped mass spectrometric detection. The protein resembles the c‐subunit of bacterial twin‐arginine‐motif‐dependent protein translocases (TatC).

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

The DNA Binding Protein Lsr2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Lsr2 is a small, basic DNA binding protein that is highly conserved in mycobacteria and related actinomycetes. Lsr2 is essential for growth in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and previous studies have shown that Lsr2 is involved in down-regulating a wide ...
