Cyclo19,31[D-Cys19]-uPA19-31 is a potent competitive antagonist of the interaction of urokinase-type plasminogen activator with its receptor (CD87) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) represents a central molecule in pericellular proteolysis and is implicated in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes such as tissue remodelling, wound healing, tumor invasion, and ...

Structural dynamics of the plant hormone receptor ETR1 in a native‐like membrane environment

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The present study unveils the structural and signaling dynamics of ETR1, a key plant ethylene receptor. Using an optimized nanodisc system and solution NMR, we captured full‐length ETR1 in a native‐like membrane environment. Our findings reveal dynamic domain uncoupling and Cu(I)‐induced rigidification, providing the first evidence of metal‐triggered ...

C9orf72 ALS‐causing mutations lead to mislocalization and aggregation of nucleoporin Nup107 into stress granules

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutations in the C9orf72 gene represent the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Using patient‐derived neurons and C. elegans models, we find that the nucleoporin Nup107 is dysregulated in C9orf72‐associated ALS. Conversely, reducing Nup107 levels mitigates disease‐related changes.

Synthetic Evaluation of Standard and Microwave-Assisted Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis of a Long Chimeric Peptide Derived from Four Plasmodium falciparum Proteins

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
An 82-residue-long chimeric peptide was synthesised by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), following the Fmoc protocol. Microwave (MW) radiation-assisted synthesis was compared to standard synthesis using low loading (0.20 mmol/g) of polyethylene ...

Deprotection Reagents in Fmoc Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis: Moving Away from Piperidine?

open access: yesMolecules, 2016
The deprotection step is crucial in order to secure a good quality product in Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis. 9-Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) removal is achieved by a two-step mechanism reaction favored by the use of cyclic secondary amines ...

Review

open access: yes, 2020
The chalcogen elements oxygen, sulfur, and selenium are essential constituents of side chain functions of natural amino acids. Conversely, no structural and biological function has been discovered so far for the heavier and more metallic tellurium ...

Novel Fmoc-Polyamino Acids for Solid-Phase Synthesis of Defined Polyamidoamines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A versatile solid-phase approach to sequence-defined polyamidoamines was developed. Four different Fmoc-polyamino acid building blocks were synthesized by selective protection of symmetrical oligoethylenimine precursors followed by introduction of a ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Sequence-Specific β-Peptide Synthesis by a Rotaxane-Based Molecular Machine.

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2017
We report on the synthesis and operation of a three-barrier, rotaxane-based, artificial molecular machine capable of sequence-specific β-homo (β3) peptide synthesis.

Resetting the neurohormonal balance in heart failure (HF). the relevance of the natriuretic peptide (NP) system to the clinical management of patients with HF [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The natriuretic peptide (NP) system, which includes atrial natriuretic peptide, B-type natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide, has an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis, promoting a number of physiological effects including ...
