Nanoscale Spatial Organization of ARC High‐ and Low‐Order Assemblies at Excitatory Synapses
ARC (Activity‐Regulated Cytoskeleton‐Associated protein) mediates synaptic plasticity by forming nanoscale assemblies in neurons. Using super‐resolution microscopy and time‐resolved anisotropy with targeted tagging, the study reveals low‐order ARC assemblies at synapses colocalizing with AMPARs, semi‐circular structures at endocytic zones, and 60–80 nm

This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden

The Chemical Regulatory Landscape of Biomolecular Condensates
Chemical regulation of biomolecular phase separation offers a unique opportunity to bridge molecular‐level chemistry with emergent cellular organization. Chemically informed strategies for controlling condensate condensates through chemically tractable parameters such as interaction valency, solvent quality, and molecular crowding provides a unifying ...

Site-Directed Mutagenesis of anti-CD11b Nanobody to Optimize Production
A previous work from our lab produced nanobody-drug conjugates using 6x-Histidine affinity chromatography, followed by a sortase-mediated bioconjugation strategy.

Engineering Murine Cross‐Reactivity Into an Affibody to Human Death Receptor 5
ABSTRACT Interspecies cross‐reactive protein therapeutics that target conserved epitopes across species are critical for translational research. The present study showcases the engineering of an affibody molecule, originally discovered for binding to human death receptor 5 (hDR5) with 94 nM affinity, to simultaneously acquire cross‐reactivity to murine

Trends in nanobody technology in industrialization
Antibodies, which are important research entities in the field of biopharmaceuticals, hold a key position in the global pharmaceutical market. Nanobodies [a single-domain antibody (VHH)] have gradually shown unique advantages due to their specificity, small molecule size, high affinity, good stability, flexible delivery routes, and fast tissue ...

Quantifying Protein–Glycan Interactions Using Native Mass Spectrometry
ABSTRACT Interactions between glycan‐binding proteins (GBPs) and carbohydrates (glycans) are essential to many biological processes relevant to human health and disease. For most GBPs, however, their glycan interactome—the repertoire of glycans recognized and their specificities—is poorly defined.

Under physiological conditions, pathogenic stimuli activate TLR/IL1‐R signaling, triggering TOLLIP dissociation from IRAK1 and subsequent IRAK1 phosphorylation, TRAF6 ubiquitination, and NF‐κB activation. During SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, viral M protein binds TOLLIP and stabilizes the TOLLIP–IRAK1 complex, thereby suppressing NF‐κB signaling, impairing ...

Abstract Mitochondria import the majority of their proteins from the cytosol, creating a fundamental challenge: precursor proteins must be synthesized, maintained in an import‐competent state, and delivered to mitochondrial translocases without premature folding or aggregation. While mitochondrial protein import has been considered a post‐translational
