Mitochondrial DNA mutations associated with aminoglycoside induced ototoxicity

open access: yesJournal of Otology, 2017
Aminoglycosides (AmAn) are widely used for their great efficiency against gram-negative bacterial infections. However, they can also induce ototoxic hearing loss, which has affected millions of people around the world. As previously reported, individuals

A molecular analysis of mutations at the complex dumpy locus in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
The Drosophila dumpy gene consists of seventy eight coding exons and encodes a huge extracellular matrix protein containing large numbers of epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) modules and a novel module called dumpy (DPY).

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Inflammation-induced cell proliferation potentiates DNA damage-induced mutations in vivo.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2015
Mutations are a critical driver of cancer initiation. While extensive studies have focused on exposure-induced mutations, few studies have explored the importance of tissue physiology as a modulator of mutation susceptibility in vivo.

Atypical UV Photoproducts Induce Non-canonical Mutation Classes Associated with Driver Mutations in Melanoma

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Somatic mutations in skin cancers and other ultraviolet (UV)-exposed cells are typified by C>T and CC>TT substitutions at dipyrimidine sequences; however, many oncogenic “driver” mutations in melanoma do not fit this UV signature.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Development of Sorghum Tolerant to Acid Soil Using Induced Mutation with Gamma Irradiation

open access: yesAtom Indonesia, 2010
Water scarcity still becomes a problem in some dryland agricultural areas in Indonesia. Development of dryland farming system may be focused on crops that are required less water such as sorghum.

Spontaneous mutational patterns and novel mutations for bedaquiline and clofazimine resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
The 2022 World Health Organization guidelines recommend use of two core anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs, bedaquiline (BDQ) and clofazimine (CFZ), for treatment of drug-resistant (DR)-TB.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
