Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

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 ...

Functional characterization of C21ORF2 association with the NEK1 kinase mutated in human in diseases

Life Science Alliance, 2023
This study shows that the endogenous NEK1 kinase and C21ORF2 form a tight complex in human cells and characterises the functional significance of the association of the two partner proteins. The NEK1 kinase controls ciliogenesis, mitosis, and DNA repair,

Characteristics of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated dentine phosphoprotein [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1992
Heterogeneity among the odontoblast-specific, highly phosphorylated acidic protein dentine phosphoprotein (DPP) obtained from different species has been reported by several investigators. In the present study, the apparent molecular-mass variations in rabbit and mouse DPP were investigated.

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

PROTAC-mediated conditional degradation of the WRN helicase as a potential strategy for selective killing of cancer cells with microsatellite instability

Scientific Reports
Multiple studies have demonstrated that cancer cells with microsatellite instability (MSI) are intolerant to loss of the Werner syndrome helicase (WRN), whereas microsatellite-stable (MSS) cancer cells are not.

Whole proteome copy number dataset in primary mouse cortical neurons

Data in Brief, 2023
The functional diversity of neurons is specified through their proteome resulting in elaborate and tightly regulated protein interaction networks and signalling that regulates neuronal processes.

Proteolysis of Non-phosphorylated and Phosphorylated Tau by Thrombin [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
The microtubule-associated protein tau aggregates intracellularly by unknown mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. A contributing factor may be a failure to break down free cytosolic tau, thus creating a surplus for aggregation, although the proteases that degrade tau in brain remain unknown.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

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 ...
