Structural and functional studies of intrinsically disordered fibronectin-binding proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Bacterial fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) mediate adhesion of bacteria to host tissues through binding to the human protein fibronectin (Fn). FnBPs are predicted to contain a series of intrinsically disordered Fn-binding repeats (FnBRs), which ...

Coagulative Granular Hydrogels with an Enzyme Catalyzed Fibrin Network for Endogenous Tissue Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Coagulative granular hydrogels are composed of packed thrombin‐functionalized microgels that catalyze the conversion of fibrinogen into a secondary fibrin network, filling the interstitial voids. This bio‐inspired approach stabilizes the biomaterial to match the robustness of bulk hydrogels without compromising injectability, mimicking the initial ...

Photophysiological and photosynthetic complex changes during iron starvation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942

open access: yes, 2013
Iron is an essential component in many protein complexes involved in photosynthesis, but environmental iron availability is often low as oxidized forms of iron are insoluble in water.

Development of a Synthetic Hydrogel to Foster Microvascularization of an Endometriosis Microphysiological System

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ascent of novel alternative methods in drug development spotlights the dual needs for improved biological fidelity to in vivo, along with reproducibility, especially in regulatory applications. The need for pre‐clinical models of patient‐derived endometriosis lesions motivates the development of a vascularizable, completely synthetic ...

A secreted metal-binding protein protects necrotrophic phytopathogens from reactive oxygen species

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The authors identify a family of iron-binding proteins that is present in phytopathogenic bacteria, fungi and oomycetes. Some of these proteins are secreted, bind metals, protect the pathogen from H2O2-induced death, and are involved in plant infection.

RNA-Binding Proteins in Trichomonas vaginalis: Atypical Multifunctional Proteins

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2015
Iron homeostasis is highly regulated in vertebrates through a regulatory system mediated by RNA-protein interactions between the iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) that interact with an iron responsive element (IRE) located in certain mRNAs, dubbed the IRE-

Divergent modulation of iron regulatory proteins and ferritin biosynthesis by hypoxia/reoxygenation in neurons and glial cells

open access: yes, 2006
Il ferro è il metallo di transizione più abbondante nel sistema nervoso centrale in quanto cofattore di enzimi eminici e non-eminici coinvolti nel metabolismo energetico cellulare.

Structure/function overview of proteins involved in iron storage and transport

open access: yes, 2005
Iron, the major trace element in the body, is an essential component of many proteins and enzymes. As low-molecular-weight iron is potentially toxic to cells, higher organisms express a number of proteins for the transport and storage of iron.

Benefits and risks of iron supplementation in anemic neonatal pigs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Iron deficiency is a common health problem. The most severe consequence of this disorder is iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which is considered the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide. Newborn piglets are an ideal model to explore the multifaceted
