Reprogramming tumor cells with LCOR mRNA nanotherapy to enhance immunotherapy

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
LCOR (Ligand‐dependent corepressor) mRNA encapsulated in polymeric nanoparticles restores LCOR activity in tumor cells, constraining aggressive tumor cell states and increasing tumor immunogenicity. This reprogramming makes tumor cells more vulnerable to T‐cell attack and enhances their response to immune‐checkpoint immunotherapy.

Predicted regions of intrinsic disorder (GLOBPLOT 2.3, DISOPRED, IUP) and aggregation-prone amyloid-like (AGGRESCAN, FOLD_AMYLOID, ZIPPER_DB).

open access: yes, 2019
Shaded areas (red = intrinsic disorder; blue = amyloid-like cross-beta strand) denote sequence regions predicted as positive by each cohort of algorithms.

Analysis of a Nuclear Intrinsically Disordered Proteome

open access: yes, 2020
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play crucial roles in cell functioning, although they do not possess defined three-dimensional architecture. They are highly abundant in the cell nucleus, and the vast majority of transcription factors (TFs) contain extended regions of intrinsic disorder.

Optimization of seminal extracellular vesicle isolation protocols for cancer biomarker analysis using proteomic profiling

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This paper shows that size‐exclusion chromatography and sequential centrifugation applied to seminal plasma enrich for different populations of extracellular vesicles. This may significantly affect the detection and analysis of extracellular vesicle‐associated cancer biomarkers.

Functions of Intrinsically Disordered Regions

open access: yesBiology
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), defined as protein segments lacking stable tertiary structures, are ubiquitously present in the human proteome and enriched with disease-associated mutations. IDRs harbor molecular recognition features (MoRFs) and post-translational modification sites (e.g., phosphorylation), enabling dynamic intermolecular ...

Common protein sequence signatures associate with Sclerotinia borealis lifestyle and secretion in fungal pathogens of the Sclerotiniaceae

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Fungal plant pathogens produce secreted proteins adapted to function outside fungal cells to facilitate colonization of their hosts. In many cases such as for fungi from the Sclerotiniaceae family the repertoire and function of secreted proteins remains ...

An outer membrane vesicle‐associated two‐track model for enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis oncogenesis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis is a gut bacterium linked to bowel cancer. We propose that its toxin acts along two routes: at the cell surface, cutting the adhesion protein E‐cadherin and triggering inflammation; and inside the cell, delivered by bacterial vesicles, switching on NOD1 and cancer stem cell programs.

More Than Just Tails: Intrinsic Disorder in Histone Proteins

open access: yes, 2012
Many biologically active proteins are disordered as a whole, or contain long disordered regions. These intrinsically disordered proteins/regions are very common in nature, abundantly found in all organisms, where they carry out important biological ...

Basalin is an evolutionarily unconstrained protein revealed via a conserved role in flagellum basal plate function

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Most motile flagella have an axoneme that contains nine outer microtubule doublets and a central pair (CP) of microtubules. The CP coordinates the flagellar beat and defects in CP projections are associated with motility defects and human disease. The CP
