Expression of membrane cofactor protein (MCP, CD46) in human liver diseases [PDF]

British Journal of Cancer, 1999
Membrane cofactor protein (MCP, CD46) is one of the complement regulatory proteins, and is widely distributed in human organs and protects cells from complement-mediated cytotoxicity. We analysed the distribution and the intensities of MCP in liver diseases and evaluated the role of MCP during hepatocarcinogenesis.

Advances in the design and development of oncolytic measles viruses. [PDF]

, 2015
A successful oncolytic virus is one that selectively propagates and destroys cancerous tissue without causing excessive damage to the normal surrounding tissue. Oncolytic measles virus (MV) is one such virus that exhibits this characteristic and thus has

Development of α 1,3-galactosyltransferase Inactivated and Human Membrane Cofactor Protein Expressing Homozygous Transgenic Pigs for Xenotransplantation

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2017
Transplantation is considered to be a very useful approach to improve human welfare and to prolong life-span. Heterologous organ transplantation using pig organs which are similar to human beings and easy to make mass-production has known as one of the ...

Molecular cloning of a pig homologue of membrane cofactor protein (CD46) [PDF]

International Immunology, 1997
Organs of transgenic pigs that express human complement regulatory proteins are under assessment as an alternative to transplantation. A major barrier to the transplantation of pig organs is the hyperacute rejection caused by pre-existing antibodies and complement.

Conformational and mechanical stability of the isolated large subunit of membrane-bound [NiFe]-hydrogenase from Cupriavidus necator

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Comprising at least a bipartite architecture, the large subunit of [NiFe]-hydrogenase harbors the catalytic nickel–iron site while the small subunit houses an array of electron-transferring Fe-S clusters.

Network analysis reveals how lipids and other cofactors influence membrane protein allostery [PDF]

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2020
Many membrane proteins are modulated by external stimuli, such as small molecule binding or change in pH, transmembrane voltage, or temperature. This modulation typically occurs at sites that are structurally distant from the functional site. Revealing the communication, known as allostery, between these two sites is key to understanding the ...

Structures and functions of mitochondrial ABC transporters [PDF]

, 2015
A small number of physiologically important ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are found in mitochondria. Most are half transporters of the B group forming homodimers and their topology suggests they function as exporters.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2011
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is defined by the triad of mechanical hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and renal impairment. Atypical HUS (aHUS) defines non Shiga-toxin-HUS and even if some authors include secondary aHUS due to Streptococcus pneumoniae

CD46 and Oncologic Interactions: Friendly Fire against Cancer

Antibodies, 2020
One of the most challenging aspects of cancer therapeutics is target selection. Recently, CD46 (membrane cofactor protein; MCP) has emerged as a key player in both malignant transformation as well as in cancer treatments.
