Generation of specific antibodies against the rap1A, rap1B and rap2 small GTP-binding proteins. Analysis of rap and ras proteins in membranes from mammalian cells [PDF]
Specific antibodies against rap1A and rap1B small GTP-binding proteins were generated by immunization of rabbits with peptides derived from the C-terminus of the processed proteins.

A Bystander Mechanism Explains the Specific Phenotype of a Broadly Expressed Misfolded Protein. [PDF]
Misfolded proteins in transgenic models of conformational diseases interfere with proteostasis machinery and compromise the function of many structurally and functionally unrelated metastable proteins. This collateral damage to cellular proteins has been

Blood-brain barrier breach after acute cerebral hypoxia in infants
Background. Neuronal lesion, including hypoxic-ischemic damage to the central nervous system (CNS) in perinatal period, leads to the release of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) into peripheral bloodstream. Consequently, NSE can be considered as a biological

Humanized Biomimetic Nanovesicles for Neuron Targeting
Nanovesicles (NVs) are emerging as innovative, theranostic tools for cargo delivery. Recently, surface engineering of NVs with membrane proteins from specific cell types has been shown to improve the biocompatibility of NVs and enable the integration of ...

Interaction of a Neuron-specific Protein Containing PDZ Domains with Alzheimer's Amyloid Precursor Protein [PDF]
A novel protein, human X11-like (human X11L), contains a phosphotyrosine interaction (PI) domain and two PDZ domains and displays 55.2% amino acid homology with the human X11 (human X11). The PI domain of human X11L interacts with a sequence containing the NPXY motif found in the cytoplasmic domain of Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein.

The human gut microbiome across the life course
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Relationship between the tissue-specificity of mouse gene expression and the evolutionary origin and function of the proteins. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The combination of complete genome sequence information with expression data enables us to characterize the relationship between a protein's evolutionary origin or functional category and its expression pattern.

Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
