Secondary and Tertiary Structure of Bacteriorhodopsin in the SDS Denatured State

open access: yes, 2016
We characterized the structure of partially unfolded bacteriorhodopsin in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles and compared it with its in vitro refolded structure after reconstitution with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/3-[(3-cholamidopropyl ...

On the chemistry of sunlight‐induced DNA lesions: A perspective on the alkaline chemical‐induced reactivities of photo‐damaged pyrimidine intra‐strand dimers

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 1698-1712, November/December 2024.
UV photoexcitation of adjacent intra‐strand pyrimidines in DNA can promote their covalent dimerization at sites such as 5′‐T‐p‐T‐3′ and 5′‐T‐p‐C‐3′. This photo‐reactivity leads, notably, to cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, pyrimidine (6‐4) pyrimidone photoproducts (6‐4PPs), and, in bacterial endospores, the spore photoproduct, SP.

Structural and Biochemical Analysis of DNA Helix Invasion by the Bacterial 8-Oxoguanine DNA Glycosylase MutM

open access: yes, 2019
MutM is a bacterial DNA glycosylase that serves as the first line of defense against the highly mutagenic 8-oxoguanine (oxoG) lesion, catalyzing glycosidic bond cleavage of oxoG to initiate base excision DNA repair.

Effect of charged residue side chain length on intrahelical glutamate-lysine ion pairing interactions

open access: yes, 2012
Ion pairing interactions between oppositely charged amino acids are important for protein structure stability. Despite the apparent electrostatic nature of these interactions, the charged amino acids Lys, Arg, Glu, and Asp have a different number of ...

Oligonucleotide‐Based Photoaffinity Probes: Chemical Tools and Applications for Protein Labeling

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 25, Issue 19, October 1, 2024.
Photoactivatable oligonucleotides in combination with recent developments in mass spectrometry are powerful tools for studying nucleic acid‐protein interactions involved in numerous biological processes. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the different strategies for incorporating the most used photoreactive reagents into ...

Restoring function to inactivating G protein‐coupled receptor variants in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis1

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2024.
Pharmacological chaperones (PC's) are an emerging class of cell permeant small molecules that can stabilise the folding of misfolded variant proteins, thus restoring function. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a family of plasma membrane associated receptors that have been shown to be amenable to PC rescue.

Interaction between amylose, fatty acid, and β‐lactoglobulin to study multiple biomacromolecules self‐assembly and application

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2024.
On the basis of revealing the ternary interaction mechanism of multiple biomacromolecules (amylose [AM], lauric acid [LA], and β‐lactoglobulin [βLG]) through experiments and simulation calculations, a thermally controlled hierarchical strategy was firstly reported for self‐assembly of AM–LA–βLG complex into uniform‐sized nanospheres with well‐defined ...

Activation mechanisms and structural dynamics of STIM proteins

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 602, Issue 8, Page 1475-1507, 15 April 2024.
Abstract Figure STIM activation involves a series of conformational rearrangements that transform the protein from a quiescent, tight state (left) into an active, extended state (right). While the exact series of events is still unresolved, currently available structural resolutions of STIM represent key pieces in solving the puzzle of STIM activation.

Interhelical E@g‐N@a interactions modulate coiled coil stability within a de novo set of orthogonal peptide heterodimers

open access: yesJournal of Peptide Science, Volume 30, Issue 2, February 2024.
A set of orthogonal, de novo coiled coil peptides are established comprising 3.5 heptads in length and a single buried Asn to prescribe dimer formation. The designed sequences display excellent partner fidelity. Interhelical E@g‐N@a interactions coordinate an extensive 6‐residue hydrogen bonding network that keeps the interchain Asn‐Asn′ contact in ...
