From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Structural insights into the dynamics and function of the C-terminus of the E. coli RNA chaperone Hfq

open access: yes, 2011
The hexameric Escherichia coli RNA chaperone Hfq (Hfq(Ec)) is involved in riboregulation of target mRNAs by small trans-encoded RNAs. Hfq proteins of different bacteria comprise an evolutionarily conserved core, whereas the C-terminus is variable in ...

Kap-Centric control of nuclear pores based on promiscuous binding to FG nucleoporins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are remarkable molecular machines that perforate the nuclear envelope (NE) in eukaryotic cells and mediate the rapid bidirectional traffic of hundreds of proteins, ribonucleoproteins, and metabolites across the nuclear ...

A blurry view of fuzzy objects: on the roles of low-resolution structural techniques in discovery and early characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Biophysics
The discovery of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) (and, therefore, the establishment of the field of protein intrinsic disorder) was initially driven by low-resolution techniques, which overturned the established “lock-and-key” paradigm of ...

A functionally divergent intrinsically disordered region underlying the conservation of stochastic signaling.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2021
Stochastic signaling dynamics expand living cells' information processing capabilities. An increasing number of studies report that regulators encode information in their pulsatile dynamics.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Protein kinases phosphorylate long disordered regions in intrinsically disordered proteins [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Science, 2019
AbstractPhosphorylation is a major post‐translational modification that plays a central role in signaling pathways. Protein kinases phosphorylate substrates (phosphoproteins) by adding phosphate at Ser/Thr or Tyr residues (phosphosites). A large amount of data identifying and describing phosphosites in phosphoproteins has been reported but the ...

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins and Their “Mysterious” (Meta)Physics

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2019
Recognition of the natural abundance and functional importance of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), and protein hybrids that contain both intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDPRs) and ordered regions, is changing protein science.

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...

Intrinsic structural disorder in cytoskeletal proteins.

open access: yes, 2013
Cytoskeleton, the internal scaffold of the cell, displays an exceptional combination of stability and dynamics. It is composed of three major filamentous networks, microfilaments (actin filaments), intermediate filaments (neurofilaments), and ...
