An acute phase protein ready to go therapeutic for sepsis

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2014
Graphical Abstract While APP are well‐known inflammation biomarkers, A2MG found in sepsis patients' sera within lipid microparticles is an essential player in the host response to sepsis and has diagnostic as well as therapeutic potentials.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

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+.

Modulation of peripheral inflammation by locally administered endomorphin-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Objectives: Neurogenic inflammation is mediated via sensory peptides released from the peripheral terminals of sensory nerves and can be modulated by locally released opioid peptides at the site of injury.

Preventing MALT1-mediated CYLD cleavage induces intestinal dysbiosis and reduces EAE severity

open access: yesEMBO Reports
The paracaspase MALT1 is essential for lymphocyte activation and also plays roles in non-immune cells and cancer. Its protease activity regulates immune signaling by cleaving specific substrates, making it a promising therapeutic target.

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.
