Bacterial TANGO2 homologs are heme-trafficking proteins that facilitate biosynthesis of cytochromes c

open access: yesmBio, 2023
Heme, an essential molecule for virtually all living organisms, acts primarily as a cofactor in a large number of proteins. However, how heme is mobilized from the site of synthesis to the locations where hemoproteins are assembled remains largely ...

Membrane Cofactor Protein Is a Receptor for Adenoviruses Associated with Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2004
ABSTRACT Subgroup D adenovirus (Ad) types 8, 19, and 37 (Ad8, -19, and -37, respectively) are causative agents of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and genital tract infections. Previous studies showed that Ad37 binds to a 50-kDa membrane glycoprotein expressed on human ocular (conjunctival) cells. To identify and characterize the role of

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

The Host Cell Receptors for Measles Virus and Their Interaction with the Viral Hemagglutinin (H) Protein

open access: yesViruses, 2016
The hemagglutinin (H) protein of measles virus (MeV) interacts with a cellular receptor which constitutes the initial stage of infection. Binding of H to this host cell receptor subsequently triggers the F protein to activate fusion between virus and ...

Import of cytochrome c into mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
The covalent attachment of heme to apocytochrome c, and therefore the import of cytochrome c into mitochondria, is dependent on both NADH plus a cytosolic cofactor that has been identified to be FMN or FAD.

Structural and biophysical analysis of important biomedical enzymes and nano-architectures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Dopa decarboxylase (DDC) is an important enzyme in the catecholamine biosynthesis pathways. Catecholamines, e.g., dopamine, serotonin, etc. often are the major neuromodulators or neurotransmitters.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Partial (13)C isotopic enrichment of nucleoside monophosphates: useful reporters for NMR structural studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Analysis of the (13)C isotopic labeling patterns of nucleoside monophosphates (NMPs) extracted from Escherichia coli grown in a mixture of C-1 and C-2 glucose is presented. By comparing our results to previous observations on amino acids grown in similar

PICALM::MLLT10 translocated leukemia

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This comprehensive review of PICALM::MLLT10 translocated acute leukemia provides an in‐depth review of the structure and function of CALM, AF10, and the fusion oncoprotein (1). The multifaceted molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, including nucleocytoplasmic shuttling (2), epigenetic modifications (3), and disruption of endocytosis (4), are then ...
