The molecular genetics of RASopathies: An update on novel disease genes and new disorders
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, Volume 190, Issue 4, Page 425-439, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Enhanced signaling through RAS and the mitogen‐associated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade underlies the RASopathies, a family of clinically related disorders affecting development and growth. In RASopathies, increased RAS‐MAPK signaling can result from the upregulated activity of various RAS GTPases, enhanced function of proteins positively ...

Hydration Water Dynamics and Instigation of Protein Structural Relaxation [PDF]
arXiv, 2003 The molecular mechanism of the solvent motion that is required to instigate the protein structural relaxation above a critical hydration level or transition temperature has yet to be determined. In this work we use quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) and molecular dynamics simulation to investigate hydration water dynamics near a greatly simplified

The Arabidopsis Abscisic Acid Response Gene ABI5 Encodes a Basic Leucine Zipper Transcription Factor
The Plant Cell, 2000 The Arabidopsis abscisic acid (ABA)–insensitive abi5 mutants have pleiotropic defects in ABA response, including decreased sensitivity to ABA inhibition of germination and altered expression of some ABA-regulated genes. We isolated the ABI5 gene by using

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.The ΔRMSF$\Delta {\rm RMSF}$ analysis reveals significant flexibility differences between free NS3 and the NS2B/NS3 complex, with notable deviations in specific regions. Key residues driving NS2B binding are identified, and the protonation state of catalytic serine affects oxyanion hole formation.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...

Three phases in the evolution of the standard genetic code: how translation could get started [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 A primordial genetic code is proposed, having only four codons assigned, GGC meaning glycine, GAC meaning aspartate/glutamate, GCC meaning alanine-like and GUC meaning valine-like. Pathways of ambiguity reduction enlarged the codon repertoire with CUC meaning leucine, AUC meaning isoleucine, ACC meaning threonine-like and GAG meaning glutamate ...

A Heterospecific Leucine Zipper Tetramer
Chemistry & Biology, 2008 Protein-protein interactions play an essential role in the assembly of the macromolecular complexes that form functional networks and control cellular behavior. Elucidating principles of molecular recognition governing potentially complex interfaces is a challenging goal for structural and systems biology.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.D‐galactose (D‐gal) induced inner ear hair cell senescence by inhibiting TFEB transcription. RONIN/HCF1 promotes TFEB transcription to prevent cochlear HCs from D‐gal‐induced senescence through autophagy activation. Abstract Age‐related hearing loss is characterized by senescent inner ear hair cells (HCs) and reduced autophagy.

Protein Sequence, Structure, Stability and Functionality [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Protein-protein interactions (protein functionalities) are mediated by water, which compacts individual proteins and promotes close and temporarily stable large-area protein-protein interfaces. Proteins are peptide chains decorated by amino acids, and protein scientists have long described protein-water interactions in terms of qualitative amino acid ...
