Soft motions encoded by the fold and mediated by conserved hinge sites drive V‐ATPase allosteric machinery and autoinhibition

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Vacuolar H+‐ATPase (V‐ATPase) is a multisubunit rotary proton pump that acidifies intracellular compartments. Using elastic network models, we identified conserved hinge residues that govern its large‐scale functional motions. We show that intrinsically encoded ‘soft modes’ drive critical functional transitions, including rotary catalysis and ...

Therapeutic strategies for anchored kinases and phosphatases: exploiting short linear motifs and intrinsic disorder

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
Phosphorylation events that occur in response to the second messenger cAMP are controlled spatially and temporally by protein kinase A (PKA) interacting with A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs).

Unlocking the potential of cell‐permeable nanobodies for intracellular applications

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines current strategies for delivery of nanobodies into cells and highlights recent examples of functional applications. By addressing and manipulating intracellular targets, these molecules hold great potential for treating cancer, respiratory diseases and neurological disorders, making this a vibrant area of research in the biomedical

How structural disorder and polyelectrolyte properties of prothymosin α enable its large interactome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, complexes of the fully disordered and highly negatively charged prothymosin α are collected, described, and discussed. Linked to its poly‐electrostatic character, prothymosin α engages a large interactome through multiple different binding modes ranging from fully disordered complexes to short linear motif (SLiM)‐driven interactions ...

The alphabet of intrinsic disorder [PDF]

open access: yesIntrinsically Disordered Proteins, 2013
The ability of a protein to fold into unique functional state or to stay intrinsically disordered is encoded in its amino acid sequence. Both ordered and intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are natural polypeptides that use the same arsenal of 20 proteinogenic amino acid residues as their major building blocks.

What can functional transcranial Doppler ultrasonography reveal about the cerebral lateralization of writing

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Which brain hemisphere controls writing? This review synthesizes all five functional transcranial Doppler studies of writing (handwriting and typing) published to date in adults and children. Right‐handers show left‐hemispheric dominance for the linguistic component of writing (written word generation), whereas findings for left‐handers remain ...

Structural Plasticity of Intrinsically Disordered LEA Proteins from Xerophyta schlechteri Provides Protection In Vitro and In Vivo

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are essential to the ability of resurrection plants and orthodox seeds to protect the subcellular milieu against irreversible damage associated with desiccation.

Mitochondrial translation and coordinated cytosolic translation in metabolic homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial function depends on coordinated protein production from the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. This review highlights how cytosolic and mitochondrial translation, mRNA localization, protein import, and respiratory complex assembly are integrated to maintain mitochondrial proteostasis and function.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
