Characterization of a Dimeric Arginase From Zymomonas mobilis ZM4

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Many organisms have genes to protect themselves from toxic conditions such as high ethanol and/or ammonia concentrations. When a high ethanol condition is induced to Zymomonas mobilis ZM4, a representative ethanologenic organism, this bacterium ...

A dark intermediate in the fluorogenic reaction between tetrazine fluorophores and trans-cyclooctene

open access: yesBiophysical Reports, 2022
Fluorogenic labeling via bioorthogonal tetrazine chemistry has proven to be highly successful in fluorescence microscopy of living cells. To date, trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and bicyclonyne have been found to be the most useful substrates for live-cell ...

Genetic Suppression of Basement Membrane Defects in Caenorhabditis elegans by Gain of Function in Extracellular Matrix and Cell-Matrix Attachment Genes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Basement membranes are extracellular matrices essential for embryonic development in animals. Peroxidasins are extracellular peroxidases implicated in the unique sulfilimine cross-links between type IV basement membrane collagens. Loss of function in the

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 ...

Two- or three-step assembly of banana-shaped proteins coupled with shape transformation of lipid membranes

open access: yes, 2014
BAR superfamily proteins have a banana-shaped domain that causes the local bending of lipid membranes. We study as to how such a local anisotropic curvature induces effective interaction between proteins and changes the global shape of vesicles and ...

Concentrating Membrane Proteins Using Asymmetric Traps and AC Electric Fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Membrane proteins are key components of the plasma membrane and are responsible for control of chemical ionic gradients, metabolite and nutrient transfer, and signal transduction between the interior of cells and the external environment. Of the genes in

How lipids affect the activities of integral membrane proteins.

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta, 2004
The activities of integral membrane proteins are often affected by the structures of the lipid molecules that surround them in the membrane. One important parameter is the hydrophobic thickness of the lipid bilayer, defined by the lengths of the lipid ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Characterisation of IL-23 receptor antagonists and disease relevant mutants using fluorescent probes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IL-23 receptor with several auto-inflammatory diseases, led to the heterodimeric receptor and its cytokine-ligand IL-23, becoming important drug targets.

Nanoclustering as a dominant feature of plasma membrane organization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Early studies have revealed that some mammalian plasma membrane proteins exist in small nanoclusters. The advent of super-resolution microscopy has corroborated and extended this picture, and led to the suggestion that many, if not most, membrane ...
