Enhancing Adeno‐Associated Virus 2 Capsid Engineering Through Co‐Evolutionary Coupling

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adeno‐associated virus (AAV) has emerged as a leading platform for gene therapy. However, to unlock the full potential, their manufacturing yields, stability, and efficacy must all be improved. Rational design is limited by poor predictability and the potential impact of mutations on multiple important vector properties.

Pancreatic phospholipase A2 activity in acute pancreatitis: A prognostic marker for early identification of patients at risk [PDF]

, 2002
Remarkably elevated levels of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) are measurable in human blood samples in cases of acute pancreatitis. The source of the enzyme was first thought to be exclusively the pancreas, but now it is generally accepted that two ...

A Novel Insight into the Role of PLA2R and THSD7A in Membranous Nephropathy

Journal of Immunology Research, 2021
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is an organ-restricted autoimmune disease mainly caused by circulating autoantibodies against podocyte antigens, including the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin domain-containing 7A (THSD7A ...

Biography as the Missing Variable in Drug Development: A Case for Bio‐Biographical Mechanistic Profiling

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Most clinical trial failures reflect unmeasured biological heterogeneity. Biography — chronic stress, adversity, trauma, and social isolation—is a neglected source of that heterogeneity, operating through the same molecular pathways drugs engage.

Determination of Anti-Phospholipase A2 and Anti-Thrombospondin Type 1 Domain-Containing Protein 7A in Latin Patients with Membranous Nephropathy

Diagnostics, 2022
Primary membranous nephropathy (MN) is caused by antibodies against podocyte antigens, especially the type M receptor of phospholipase A2 (PLA2R) and thrombospondin type-1 domain containing 7 A (THSD7A).

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

Structure of an Engineered Porcine Phospholipase A2 with Enhanced Activity at 2.1 Å Resolution. Comparison with the Wild-type Porcine and Crotalus atrox Phospholipase A2 [PDF]

, 1990
The crystal structure of an engineered phospholipase A2 with enhanced activity has been refined to an R-factor of 18.6% at 2.1 A resolution using a combination of molecular dynamics refinement by the GROMOS package and least-squares refinement by TNT ...

Identification of a novel class of mammalian phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes. [PDF]

, 2010
Phosphoinositol (PhoIns)-specific phospholipase C enzymes (PLCs) are central to the inositol lipid signaling pathways and contribute to intracellular Ca2+ release and protein kinase C activation. Five distinct classes of PhoIns-specific PLCs are known to

OXCT1‐driven succinylation of PSMG3 stabilizes the proteasome to facilitate picornavirus replication

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Upon entering the pig, foot‐and‐mouth disease virus (FMDV) regulates host glycolysis and the citrate cycle by modulating the expression of metabolic enzymes, resulting in changes in post‐translational modifications (PTMs) including succinylation, lactylation, crotonylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation.

The Crude Venom of the Whitetail Lancehead, Bothrops leucurus, and Two of Its Enzymatic Components Are Selectively Cytotoxic for Glioma Cells In Vitro

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malignant glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains its most aggressive and incurable form. Snake venoms contain bioactive compounds with promising antitumoral properties against several cancer types.
