Disruption of SETD3‐mediated histidine‐73 methylation by the BWCFF‐associated β‐actin G74S mutation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The β‐actin G74S mutation causes altered interaction of actin with SETD3, reducing histidine‐73 methylation efficiency and forming two distinct actin variants. The variable ratio of these variants across cell types and developmental stages contributes to tissue‐specific phenotypical changes. This imbalance may impair actin dynamics and mechanosensitive

Chaperonin of Group I: Oligomeric Spectrum and Biochemical and Biological Implications
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018 Chaperonins play various physiological roles and can also be pathogenic. Elucidation of their structure, e.g., oligomeric status and post-translational modifications (PTM), is necessary to understand their functions and mechanisms of action in health and

Moisture-resistant coatings for optical components [PDF]
, 1973 Plasma polymerization technique is used to apply thin, adherent, hydrophobic coatings from chlorotrifluoroethylene monomer. Apparently much of the chlorine contained in original monomer is lost during polymerization, and characteristic C-Cl absorption in

Advanced glycation end products promote the release of endothelial cell‐derived mitocytosis
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Under diabetic conditions, AGEs induce mitochondrial damage in HUVECs, activating migrasome‐mediated mitocytosis. Migrasomes encapsulate damaged mitochondria and are released into the extracellular space, facilitating intercellular mitochondrial transfer.

Asymptotics of Stochastic Protein Assembly Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Self-assembly of proteins is a biological phenomenon which gives rise to spontaneous formation of amyloid fibrils or polymers. The starting point of this phase, called nucleation exhibits an important variability among replicated experiments.To analyse the stochastic nature of this phenomenon, one of the simplest models considers two populations of ...

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

The three species monomer-monomer model: A mean-field analysis and Monte Carlo study
, 1996 We study the phase diagram and critical behavior of a one dimensional three species monomer-monomer surface reaction model. Static Monte Carlo simulations show a phase diagram consisting of a reactive steady state bordered by three equivalent unreactive ...
