Structure of PINK1 and mechanisms of Parkinson's disease-associated mutations
eLife, 2017 Mutations in the human kinase PINK1 (hPINK1) are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). hPINK1 activates Parkin E3 ligase activity, involving phosphorylation of ubiquitin and the Parkin ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain via ...

The role of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of shell matrix proteins in shell formation : an in vivo and in vitro study [PDF]
, 2018 Protein phosphorylation is a fundamental mechanism regulating many aspects of cellular processes. Shell matrix proteins (SMPs) control crystal nucleation, polymorphism, morphology, and organization of calcium carbonate crystallites during shell formation.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS 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)

Phosphorylation of ovine rhodopsin. Identification of the phosphorylated sites [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1984 Light-dependent phosphorylation of sheep opsin was obtained in purified discs to which was added a partially purified preparation of rhodopsin kinase. A maximum ratio of 1.8 mol of phosphate/mol of rhodopsin bleached was obtained. Perturbing the lipid bilayer did not alter the phosphorylation ratio. Dephosphorylation in both segments and discs was only

International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2017 Protein phosphorylation is an important cellular regulatory mechanism as many enzymes and receptors are activated/deactivated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events, by means of kinases and phosphatases.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Angiotensin II (AngII), a neuropeptide, interacts with amyloid‐β (Aβ), a key player in Alzheimer's disease. This study reveals that AngII reduces Aβ aggregation and membrane disruption in vitro. Biophysical assays and molecular modeling suggest AngII binds disordered Aβ forms, potentially modulating early amyloidogenic events and contributing to ...

Agrin-induced acetylcholine receptor clustering in mammalian muscle requires tyrosine phosphorylation. [PDF]
, 1996 Agrin is thought to be the nerve-derived factor that initiates acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering at the developing neuromuscularjunction. We have investigated the signaling pathway in mouse C2 myotubes and report that agrin induces a rapid but ...

To phosphorylate or not to phosphorylate [PDF]
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2013 EphB tyrosine kinase receptors have been implicated in multiple developmental processes; however, the signaling mechanism underlying these events remains unclear. Through a triple knock-in mouse line for three neurally expressed EphBs, Sokis et al. demonstrated that EphB tyrosine kinase activity is required for axon guidance but does not influence ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Localization-Dependent and -Independent Roles of SLX4 in Regulating Telomeres
Cell Reports, 2013 SLX4, a scaffold for structure-specific DNA repair nucleases, is important for several types of DNA repair. Many repair proteins bind to sites of DNA damage, resulting in subnuclear “foci,” but SLX4 forms foci in human cells even without DNA damage ...
