Mapping of a N-terminal α-helix domain required for human PINK1 stabilization, Serine228 autophosphorylation and activation in cells

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2022
Autosomal recessive mutations in the PINK1 gene are causal for Parkinson's disease (PD). PINK1 encodes a mitochondrial localized protein kinase that is a master-regulator of mitochondrial quality control pathways.

Prevention and partial reversion of the lupus phenotype in ABIN1[D485N] mice by an IRAK4 inhibitor

open access: yesLupus Science and Medicine, 2021
Objective We have reported previously that the IRAK4 inhibitor PF06426779 given to ubiquitin-binding-defective ABIN1[D485N] mice at 6 weeks of age prevents the major facets of lupus that develop 10 weeks later.

Multiple UBX proteins reduce the ubiquitin threshold of the mammalian p97-UFD1-NPL4 unfoldase

open access: yeseLife, 2022
The p97/Cdc48 ATPase and its ubiquitin receptors Ufd1-Npl4 are essential to unfold ubiquitylated proteins in many areas of eukaryotic cell biology.

An Affinity-directed Protein Missile (AdPROM) System for Targeted Destruction of Endogenous Proteins

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2017
We recently reported an Affinity-directed PROtein Missile (AdPROM) system for the targeted proteolysis of endogenous proteins of interest (POI) (Fulcher et al., 2016 and 2017).

Phosphorylation of caldesmon

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1989
The phosphorylation of caldesmon was studied to determine if kinase activity reflected either an endogenous kinase or caldesmon itself. Titration of kinase activity with calmodulin yielded maximum activity at substoichiometric ratios of calmodulin/caldesmon.

Pharmacological rescue of impaired mitophagy in Parkinson’s disease-related LRRK2 G2019S knock-in mice

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a major and progressive neurodegenerative disorder, yet the biological mechanisms involved in its aetiology are poorly understood.

PKCɛ switches Aurora B specificity to exit the abscission checkpoint

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The Aurora B abscission checkpoint is activated when DNA is retained in the cleavage furrow on completion of anaphase. Here the authors show that PKCɛ directly phosphorylates Aurora B triggering a switch in Aurora B substrate specificity to elicit ...

The E3 ubiquitin ligase ZNRF2 is a substrate of mTORC1 and regulates its activation by amino acids

open access: yeseLife, 2016
The mechanistic Target of Rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) senses intracellular amino acid levels through an intricate machinery, which includes the Rag GTPases, Ragulator and vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase).

HIF1a-dependent mitophagy facilitates cardiomyoblast differentiation

open access: yesCell Stress, 2020
Mitophagy is thought to play a key role in eliminating damaged mitochondria, with diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration exhibiting defects in this process.

The role of serine/threonine phosphatases in human development: Evidence from congenital disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Reversible protein phosphorylation is a fundamental regulation mechanism in eukaryotic cell and organismal physiology, and in human health and disease.
