Studies on Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation and the bacterial interaction with the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide LL-37

open access: yes, 2014
The long-term use of central venous catheters for delivering nutrients and drugs in preterm neonates has been related to nosocomial infections. The majority of late-onset sepsis in very preterm infants (The major host defense peptide LL-37 is the only ...

Bactericidal and hemolytic properties of mixed LL-37/surfactant systems

open access: yes, 2007
The interaction between acyl chain homologues (C10 and C12) of n-acyl β-D-maltoside and the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 (LLGDFFRKSKEKIGKEFKRIVQRIKDFLRNLVPRTES) was investigated. Emphasis was placed on peptide-micelle complexation and its consequences for

Top‐Down CSF Peptidomics Reveals Disease‐Associated Peptide Signatures and Oxidative Modifications in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) are inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS whose diagnosis is mainly based on clinical evidence, magnetic resonance imaging, and the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Current approaches provide only partial insight into disease‐related biological processes, thus

Proteomic Analysis of ARF1‐ and ARF3‐Proximal Proteins at the Trans‐Golgi Network

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite its fundamental importance, the molecular mechanisms of post‐Golgi transport remain incompletely understood. Carrier formation of post‐Golgi transport depends on ARF3 and ARF1, very close paralogs; the former localizes on the trans‐Golgi network (TGN) whereas the latter localizes on TGN and cis‐Golgi.

Molecular Interactions of Viral Insulin/IGF‐Like Peptides With Zebrafish Receptors

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Signaling through the insulin receptor (IR) and the type 1 insulin‐like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) is modulated by secreted hormones and growth factor ligands (e.g., insulin and insulin‐like growth factor 1, IGF1). Impaired signaling in these receptors often leads to diabetes and oncogenic diseases.

Information‐Theoretic Framework for Allosteric Communication Pathway Prediction From Protein Structure

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allosteric communication is fundamental to the function of proteins, but identifying the residue‐level pathways through which signals travel and their directionality is still a major challenge. Here we present a multi‐metric information‐theoretic framework that identifies candidate allosteric communication pathways from a single protein ...

Geometric Intuition Enables Resource‐Efficient Screening for β‐Barrel‐Like Folds in Viral Structural Dark Matter

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predicted protein structures now enable fold discovery beyond the reach of sequence homology, but scalable and interpretable methods remain limited. We present Cooper‐Beta, a resource‐efficient, chain‐resolved framework for detecting β‐barrel‐like folds from strand connectivity.

Host‐induced silencing of the Minc09294 effector gene impairs Meloidogyne incognita and M. Enterolobii infection

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Host‐induced gene silencing of the effector candidate Minc09294 significantly impairs Meloidogyne incognita parasitism, markedly reducing gall formation, reproduction, and the development of specialized giant cells, with partial cross‐species effects on M.
