Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Cholelitiasis in an adult patient with mild hereditary spherocytosis – a case report [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2018
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an inherited abnormality of the red blood cell, caused by defects in structural membrane proteins. The condition is dominantly inherited in 75% of people.

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 ...

Recurrent melena in a diagnosed case of Bernard Soulier syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2021
Bernard Soulier Syndrome is a genetically inherited platelet disorder that commonly presents with symptoms of impaired blood coagulation, such as epistaxis, menorrhagia, and petechiae formation. Here we present a case of Bernard Soulier Syndrome in which

Autism spectrum disorder and inherited metabolic diseases: are there any common features?

open access: yes
Given the increasing prevalence and knowledge of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and inherited metabolic diseases (IMD), the aim of this manuscript was to provide practical implications of the molecular (metabolic) diagnostics of ASD and also give the ...

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.

The Further Adventures of Newborn Screening for Biotinidase Deficiency: Where It Is at and What We Still Need to Know

open access: yesInternational Journal of Neonatal Screening, 2016
Biotinidase deficiency is an inherited metabolic disorder that, if untreated, can result in neurological and cutaneous symptoms. If treated with the vitamin biotin, individuals with the disorder can markedly improve, but still may have some irreversible ...

Inherited disorders of renal hypomagnesaemia [PDF]

open access: yesNephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2014
The kidney plays a key role in the maintenance of normal magnesium balance. The distal tubule of the kidney, namely the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule, is crucial for the regulation of serum magnesium levels and body magnesium content.
