Immune response: White blood cells follow the leader In response to infection or tissue damage, white blood cells known as leukocytes exit blood vessels at specific sites, “hotspots.” Many leukocytes follow each other out through the same hotspot.

Fbxo7 is an unusual F box protein that augments D-type cyclin complex formation with Cdk6, but not Cdk4 or Cdk2, and its over-expression has been demonstrated to transform immortalised fibroblasts in a Cdk6-dependent manner.

PARP14 and PARP9/DTX3L regulate interferon-induced ADP-ribosylation
PARP-catalysed ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) is important in regulating various cellular pathways. Until recently, PARP-dependent mono-ADP-ribosylation has been poorly understood due to the lack of sensitive detection methods.

3005 Integrin Mac-1 Potentiates Neutrophil Adhesion and NET Release in Antiphospholipid Syndrome
OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: While the role of antiphospholipid antibodies in activating endothelial cells has been extensively studied, the impact of these antibodies on the adhesive potential of leukocytes has received considerably less attention.

The Opioid Peptide Dynorphin a Induces Leukocyte Responses via Integrin Mac-1 (αβ, CD11b/CD18)
Background Opioid peptides, including dynorphin A, besides their analgesic action in the nervous system, exert a broad spectrum of effects on cells of the immune system, including leukocyte migration, degranulation and cytokine production. The mechanisms

Structural Determinants of Mac1 Inhibition: Lessons from Ligand Binding Patterns
This study comprehensively analyzes how various inhibitors bind to the SARS-CoV-2 macrodomain Mac1, a key protein implicated in hampering the host's immune response following viral infection. In this study we used volume-based metadynamics simulations to investigate the binding mechanisms of ADP-ribose and two Mac1 inhibitors: the adenineanalogue GS ...

HTRF-based assay for detection of mono-ADP-ribosyl hydrolyzing macrodomains and inhibitor screening
Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the lack of effective, ready-to-use antivirals for the treatment of viruses with pandemic potential. The development of a diverse drug portfolio is therefore crucial for pandemic preparedness.
