Combinatorial omics analysis reveals perturbed lysosomal homeostasis in collagen VII-deficient keratinocytes [PDF]
The extracellular matrix protein collagen VII is part of the microenvironment of stratified epithelia and critical in organismal homeostasis. Mutations in the encoding gene COL7A1 lead to the skin disorder dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), are ...

Function assignment within the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily [PDF]
The HaloacidDehalogenase Enzyme Superfamily (HADSF) is a ubiquitous family of enzymes. Presently, more than 45,000 deposited gene sequences encode proteins of the HADSF, and only a fraction of these have defined structure and/or function.

The Biosynthesis of Capuramycin-type Antibiotics: Identification of the A-102395 Biosynthetic Gene Cluster, Mechanism of Self-Resistence, and Formation of Uridine-5\u27-Carboxamide [PDF]
A-500359s, A-503083s, and A-102395 are capuramycin-type nucleoside antibiotics that were discovered using a screen to identify inhibitors of bacterial translocase I, an essential enzyme in peptidoglycan cell wall biosynthesis. Like the parent capuramycin,
