Structural characterization of the Sel1‐like repeat protein LceB from Legionella pneumophila

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Legionella are freshwater Gram‐negative bacteria that in their normal environment infect protozoa. However, this adaptation also allows Legionella to infect human alveolar macrophages and cause pneumonia. Central to Legionella pathogenesis are more than 330 secreted effectors, of which there are nine core effectors that are conserved in all ...

The impact of phosphoinositide 5-phosphatases on phosphoinositides in cell function and human disease

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2019
Phosphoinositides (PIs) are recognized as major signaling molecules in many different functions of eukaryotic cells. PIs can be dephosphorylated by multiple phosphatase activities at the 5-, 4-, and 3- positions.

Structure–function relationships underpin disulfide loop cleavage‐dependent activation of Legionella pneumophila lysophospholipase A PlaA

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 497-512, March 2024.
The 3D structure of PlaA shows a typical α/β‐hydrolase fold and reveals that a disulfide loop forms a lid structure covering the catalytic triad S30/D278/H282. After disulfide loop processing by ProA, access of lipid substrates to the catalytic site is facilitated and thus leads to an increase of LPLA activity.

Multiple subcutaneous folds in oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe

open access: yesCeylon Medical Journal, 2013
A 3-months old infant born to non-consanguineous parents was evaluated for hypotonia and developmental delay. He had a cataract in left eye, congenital glaucoma and megalocornea in right eye with no other dysmorphism. Anterior fontanelle was widely open. He was hypotonic with diminished tendon reflexes.

Primary cilia signaling mediates intraocular pressure sensation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Lowe syndrome is a rare X-linked congenital disease that presents with congenital cataracts and glaucoma, as well as renal and cerebral dysfunction. OCRL, an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase, is mutated in Lowe syndrome.

Virchow-Robin spaces : an anatomic variant or a pathologic sign? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Virchow-Robin spaces surround blood vessels. Their walls are formed by prolongations of the pia mater and they have no communication with the subarachnoid space. VRS are often seen as well-delineated foci of cerebrospinal fluid signal on MR images.

Canalopatias em endocrinologia: achados genéticos recentes e fisiopatologia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Ion channels serve diverse cellular functions, mainly in cell signal transduction. In endocrine cells, these channels play a major role in hormonal secretion, Ca2+-mediated cell signaling, transepithelial transport, cell motility and growth, volume ...

Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) directly modulates the gene expression profile of RANK-positive Saos-2 human osteosarcoma cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) are the key regulators of bone metabolism. Recent findings demonstrated a crucial role of RANK in several bone-associated tumors.
