Inborn errors in the metabolism of glutathione [PDF]

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2007
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine and glycine. Glutathione is present in millimolar concentrations in most mammalian cells and it is involved in several fundamental biological functions, including free radical scavenging, detoxification of xenobiotics and carcinogens, redox reactions, biosynthesis of DNA, proteins and ...

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

A working model for cytoplasmic assembly of H/ACA snoRNPs

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dyskerin is the component of nuclear H/ACA ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) endowed with pseudouridine synthase catalytic activity. Two isoforms of human dyskerin have been characterized: the abundant Iso1, mainly nuclear, and the shorter Iso3, mainly cytoplasmic but occasionally imported into nuclei.

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

Blood phenylalanine fluctuation in phenylketonuric children treated by BH4 or low-phenylalanine diet from birth

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The prognosis of phenylketonuria (PKU) is related to the quality of metabolic control all life-long. PKU treatment is based on a low-Phe diet, 6R-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) treatment for the BH4-responsive PKU patients or enzyme replacement therapy ...

The impact of Hnrnpl deficiency on transcriptional patterns of developing muscle cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We performed nanopore whole‐transcriptome sequencing comparing RNA from Hnrnpl‐knockdown versus control C2C12 myoblasts to investigate the contributions of Hnrnpl to muscle development. Our results indicate that Hnrnpl regulates the expression of genes involved with Notch signaling and skeletal muscle, particularly splicing patterns of specific muscle ...

An incidental finding in newborn screening leading to the diagnosis of a patient with ECHS1 mutations

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2020
Short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase (ECHS1) is a mitochondrial beta-oxidation enzyme involved in the metabolism of acyl-CoA fatty acid esters, as well as in valine metabolism.

Homologous expression and purification of human HAX‐1 for structural studies

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This research protocol provides detailed instructions for cloning, expressing, and purifying large quantities of the intrinsically disordered human HAX‐1 protein, N‐terminally fused to a cleavable superfolder GFP, from mammalian cells. HAX‐1 is predicted to undergo posttranslational modifications and to interact with membranes, various cellular ...

Determining factors of the cognitive outcome in early treated PKU: A study of 39 pediatric patients

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2019
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disorder of phenylalanine metabolism, characterized by a neurotoxic phenylalanine (Phe) accumulation, and treatable with a life-long Phe-restricted diet. Though early and continuously treated PKU (ETPKU) patients exhibit normal
