Neisseria gonorrhoeae employs two protein inhibitors to evade killing by human lysozyme.
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 The bacterial pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gc) infects mucosal sites rich in antimicrobial proteins, including the bacterial cell wall-degrading enzyme lysozyme.

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1998 While examining the taste of various proteins, we found that hen egg-white lysozyme, a bacteriolytic enzyme, had sweetness. Lysozymes from other sources such as turkey and soft-shelled turtle also showed sweetness with different tastes, heavy or light. In contrast, human lysozyme was tasteless.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Promiscuous stimulation of HSP70 ATPase activity by parasite‐derived J‐domains
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports three highly homologous yet functionally divergent J‐domain proteins into human erythrocytes. Here, we show that J‐domains isolated from all three proteins effectively stimulate the ATPase activity of both endogenous host and exported parasite HSP70 chaperones.

La Revue de medecine interne, 2019 L’amylose à lysozyme est une amylose héréditaire non neuropathique identifiée en 1993. Elle reste une pathologie rare avec une cinquantaine de cas rapportés, et probablement encore sous-diagnostiquée.L’amylose à lysozyme présente un très large spectre de manifestations cliniques.

A novel hybrid protein composed of superoxide-dismutase-active Cu(II) complex and lysozyme
Scientific Reports, 2023 A novel hybrid protein composed of a superoxide dismutase-active Cu(II) complex (CuST) and lysozyme (CuST@lysozyme) was prepared. The results of the spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses confirmed that CuST binds to lysozyme.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.

Lysozyme Modification Using Proteolytic Enzymes
Molecules, 2023 The lysozyme in the chicken egg white consists of various bioactive amino acids. However, these compounds are inactive when they are in the sequence of parent proteins. They become active only when isolated from these proteins.

Rapid screening of staphylokinase protein variants using an unpurified cell‐free expression system
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.An unpurified cell‐free protein synthesis (CFPS) platform enables rapid functional screening of staphylokinase variants. Direct plasminogen‐activation assays performed in microplate format provide real‐time activity readouts, allowing rapid identification and ranking of variants with improved or reduced fibrinolytic activity without protein ...
