Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Dynamics and thermodynamics of protein-ligand interactions [PDF]

, 2012
Complex networks of protein-ligand interactions underpin cellular function and communication. Disease can arise from disruption of these networks through the alteration of protein-ligand interaction affinities, for example by protein mutation or ligand ...

Development of anti-murine IL-18 binding protein antibodies to stimulate IL-18 bioactivity

The Journal of Immunology
Abstract Interleukin (IL)-18 is an immunoregulatory cytokine that acts as a potent inducer of T helper 1 and cytotoxic responses. IL-18 activity is regulated by its decoy receptor IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), which forms a high-affinity complex with IL-18 to block binding of the cognate receptors.

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

FEBS 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.

Backbone dynamics of complement control protein (CCP) modules reveals mobility in binding surfaces [PDF]

, 2004
The regulators of complement activation (RCA) are critical to health and disease because their role is to ensure that a complement-mediated immune response to infection is proportionate and targeted.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Elevated Interleukin-18 Receptor Accessory Protein Mediates Enhancement in Reactive Oxygen Species Production in Neutrophils of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients

Cells, 2021
Interleukin-18 receptor accessory protein (IL18RAP) is an indispensable subunit for the IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) complex’s ability to mediate high-affinity IL-18 binding and signalling transduction.
