Cyclophilin D in Mitochondrial Dysfunction: A Key Player in Neurodegeneration?
Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in numerous complex diseases. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which the “powerhouse of the cell” turns into the “factory of death” is an exciting yet challenging task that can unveil new ...

An optimised system for refolding of human glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase [PDF]
Background Human glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), active in both dimer and tetramer forms, is the key entry enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), providing NADPH for biosynthesis and various other purposes, including protection against ...

In this study, we used Foxp3‐fatemapping mice to examine the cell lineage stability of Treg cells in pregnancy. Ex‐Foxp3 cells were identified in gestational tissues. However, Treg cells retained lineage stability with no increased ex‐Foxp3 generation, regardless of inflammatory challenges that induce preterm birth.

Peptidylprolyl Isomerases as In Vivo Carriers for Drugs That Target Various Intracellular Entities [PDF]
Analyses of sequences and structures of the cyclosporine A (CsA)-binding proteins (cyclophilins) and the immunosuppressive macrolide FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) have revealed that they exhibit peculiar spatial distributions of charges, their overall hydrophobicity indexes vary within a considerable level whereas their points isoelectric (pIs) are ...

Summary diagram for the role of CypA in chemoresistance in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). CypA is overexpressed in chemoresistance NSCLC and drives therapeutic evasion by competitively binding to the K37 site of SLC7A11, thereby blocking TRIM3 mediated K11‐linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, ultimately inhibiting lipid peroxidation ...

Nerve growth factor stimulates interaction of Cayman ataxia protein BNIP-H/Caytaxin with peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1 in differentiating neurons. [PDF]
Mutations in ATCAY that encodes the brain-specific protein BNIP-H (or Caytaxin) lead to Cayman cerebellar ataxia. BNIP-H binds to glutaminase, a neurotransmitter-producing enzyme, and affects its activity and intracellular localization.
