High-throughput Site-directed Scanning Mutagenesis Using a Two-fragment PCR Approach

Bio-Protocol, 2020
Site-directed scanning mutagenesis is a useful tool applied in studying protein function and designing proteins with new properties, such as increased stability or enzymatic activity. Creating a systematic library of hundreds of site-directed mutants is

Membrane protein serendipity [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
My scientific career has taken me from chemistry, via theoretical physics and bioinformatics, to molecular biology and even structural biology. Along the way, serendipity led me to work on problems such as the identification of signal peptides that direct protein trafficking, membrane protein biogenesis, and cotranslational protein folding.

Directed Mutational Strategies Reveal Drug Binding and Transport by the MDR Transporters of Candida albicans

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters belonging to either the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) or Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) groups are major determinants of clinical drug resistance in fungi.

Membrane-mediated protein interactions drive membrane protein organization

Nature Communications, 2022
AbstractThe plasma membrane’s main constituents, i.e., phospholipids and membrane proteins, are known to be organized in lipid-protein functional domains and supercomplexes. No active membrane-intrinsic process is known to establish membrane organization.

Spontaneous Suppressors against Debilitating Transmembrane Mutants of CaMdr1 Disclose Novel Interdomain Communication via Signature Motifs of the Major Facilitator Superfamily

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) drug:H+ antiporter CaMdr1, from Candida albicans, is responsible for the efflux of structurally diverse antifungals.

The second intracellular loop of the yeast Trk1 potassium transporter is involved in regulation of activity, and interaction with 14–3-3 proteins

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Potassium is an essential intracellular ion, and a sufficient intracellular concentration of it is crucial for many processes; therefore it is fundamental for cells to precisely regulate K+ uptake and efflux through the plasma membrane.

A nanoluciferase biosensor to investigate endogenous chemokine secretion and receptor binding

iScience, 2021
Summary: Secreted chemokines are critical mediators of cellular communication that elicit intracellular signaling by binding membrane-bound receptors. Here we demonstrate the development and use of a sensitive real-time approach to quantify secretion and

Allostery in membrane proteins [PDF]

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2020
Membrane proteins are an integral part of signal transduction. To signal, membrane proteins must interact with a variety of lipid species, effectors, and other proteins in the biological membrane leading to an immense number of possible interactions. Despite this inherent complexity, accurate control of signaling must take place.

Discovery of a Positive Allosteric Modulator of Cholecystokinin Action at CCK1R in Normal and Elevated Cholesterol

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Drugs useful in prevention/treatment of obesity could improve health. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a key regulator of appetite, working through the type 1 CCK receptor (CCK1R); however, full agonists have not stimulated more weight loss than dieting.
