The crystal structure of Pneumolysin at 2.0 Å resolution reveals the molecular packing of the pre-pore complex [PDF]
, 2015 Pneumolysin is a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC) and virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae. It kills cells by forming pores assembled from oligomeric rings in cholesterol-containing membranes.

, 2014 The chapter is a wide overview focused on protein oligomerization, a topic that definitely increased its importance in the last decades because of its connection to protein structure(s) and activity(ies). Protein oligomerization can occur naturally or can be induced artificially, either covalently or through different types of weak interactions.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Time‐resolved SAXS reveals how physiologically relevant metal ions shape the earliest conformational responses of monomeric α‐synuclein. Fe3+ induces rapid compaction, Cu2+ generates heterogeneous and partially folded ensembles, while Mn2+ and Zn2+ cause only modest changes.

Soluble oligomerization provides a beneficial fitness effect on destabilizing mutations
, 2012 Mutations create the genetic diversity on which selective pressures can act, yet also create structural instability in proteins. How, then, is it possible for organisms to ameliorate mutation-induced perturbations of protein stability while maintaining ...

Competitive adsorption of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and phenol on activated carbon : experimental study and modelling. [PDF]
, 2013 The competitive adsorption of phenol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (4HBA) has been investigated on activated carbon (AC) for a wide range of concentrations under unbuffered conditions. The results show a preferential adsorption of 4HBA which can be explained

Cleavage‐Resistant CYLD Protects Against Autoimmune Hepatitis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Proteolytic cleavage of the deubiquitinase CYLD emerges as a critical driver of autoimmune hepatitis. TNFα‐induced CYLD loss in macrophages amplifies S100A9‐triggered MAPK activation, leading to excessive chemokine production and hepatic inflammation. Pharmacological inhibition of MEK signaling effectively attenuates experimental disease, highlighting ...

Highly Mutable Linker Regions Regulate HIV-1 Rev Function and Stability. [PDF]
, 2019 HIV-1 Rev is an essential viral regulatory protein that facilitates the nuclear export of intron-containing viral mRNAs. It is organized into structured, functionally well-characterized motifs joined by less understood linker regions.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.NPM1 selectively sorts specific mRNAs into extracellular vesicles (EVs) by recognizing RNA motifs and forming phase‐separated condensates. These mRNA cargos—including EGFR—are then loaded via multivesicular bodies. This active sorting pathway, validated in EVs derived from both lung cancer cells and patient serum, reveals a specific mechanism for ...

Molecular Perspectives for mu/delta Opioid Receptor Heteromers as Distinct, Functional Receptors
Cells, 2014 Opioid receptors are the sites of action for morphine and the other opioid drugs. Abundant evidence now demonstrates that different opioid receptor types can physically associate to form heteromers.

NRG1 functions downstream of EDS1 to regulate TIR-NLR-mediated plant immunity in Nicotiana benthamiana. [PDF]
, 2018 Effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in plants involves a large family of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors, including Toll/IL-1 receptor-NLRs (TNLs) and coiled-coil NLRs (CNLs). Although various NLR immune receptors are known, a
