Garadacimab for the long‐term prophylaxis of hereditary angioedema

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare and debilitating disease characterized by recurrent and spontaneous attacks of tissue swelling, has a high unmet therapeutic need, with many patients experiencing insufficient disease control with current prophylactic treatments.

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Computational insights into the circular permutation roles on ConA binding and structural stability

Current Research in Structural Biology
The mechanisms behind Concanavalin A (ConA) circular permutation have been under investigation since 1985. Although a vast amount of information is available about this lectin and its applications, the exact purpose of its processing remains unclear.

A Novel High-Mannose Specific Lectin from the Green Alga Halimeda renschii Exhibits a Potent Anti-Influenza Virus Activity through High-Affinity Binding to the Viral Hemagglutinin

Marine Drugs, 2017
We have isolated a novel lectin, named HRL40 from the green alga Halimeda renschii. In hemagglutination-inhibition test and oligosaccharide-binding experiment with 29 pyridylaminated oligosaccharides, HRL40 exhibited a strict binding specificity for high-

Cryo‐EM structure of GH43 β‐Xylosidase from Enterobacter cloacae provides insights into substrate specificity and the role of an auxiliary domain in enzymatic activity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Xylan, the second most abundant plant cell wall polysaccharide, is degraded by β‐xylanases and β‐xylosidases. Here, we present the 2.65 Å cryo‐EM structure of Enterobacter cloacae β‐xylosidase (EcXyl43, GH43) and the 2.4 Å X‐ray structure of its inactive F507A mutant.

High mannose-binding antiviral lectin PFL from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 promotes cell death of gastric cancer cell MKN28 via interaction with α2-integrin.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Novel anti-HIV lectin family which shows a strict binding specificity for high mannose glycans has been found in lower organisms. The bacterial orthologue has been identified in the genome of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 and the gene coding a putative ...

Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activates various proteostasis control processes, including the unfolded protein response, ribosome‐associated quality control, and ER‐associated degradation. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications dynamically regulate these processes to determine cell fate, promoting adaptation or inducing cell death.

A Novel Diagnostic Approach for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Glycosylated Ferritin

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The percentage of glycosylated ferritin relative to total ferritin (%GF) is a novel biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), showing diagnostic performance comparable to that of AFP and DCP. We developed the GFAD index by integrating age, sex, %GF, AFP, and DCP, achieving improved diagnostic accuracy with high sensitivity and specificity. ABSTRACT

PlantRG: A Comprehensive and User‐Friendly Database for Plant Resistance Gene Analogs (RGAs)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resistance genes are critical for plant defence against biotic stresses, and building a comprehensive, integrated data resource platform for these genes holds great significance for plant research and agriculture. Here, we developed PlantRG (http://plantrg.bio2db.com), a user‐friendly plant resistance gene database, which is built on 2 163 397
