Iloperidone treatment mitigates the Juvenile Huntington's Disease phenotype possibly via Sigma‐1 Receptor Modulation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...

Unraveling in vitro phase separation and aggregation properties of the structured region of FMRP and the impact of Fragile X syndrome‐linked mutations

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP) is a multidomain RNA‐binding protein associated with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). We found that its N‐terminal structured region has an intrinsic propensity to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation and fibril formation. FXS‐associated mutations perturb protein stability and aggregation propensity, suggesting

Long‐read sequencing‐based atlas of tissue‐specific expression of DNM1L transcript variants

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Targeted long‐read sequencing resolves full‐length DNM1L (Drp1) isoforms and reveals conserved, tissue‐specific expression patterns across human and mouse tissues. Functional assays show that Drp1 isoforms differ in their ability to drive mitochondrial fission, independent of abundance, with specific exons modulating activity.

Unraveling the active site cover of coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
During heme biosynthesis in Gram‐positive bacteria, coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the conversion of four‐propionate substrate coproheme to the two propionate product heme b. Its active site is universally covered by a flexible linking loop. This study identifies an important histidine residue, which stabilizes the loop in a ChdC homolog.

Conserved dimerization architecture in C‐type lectins from virus‐vector mosquitoes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C‐type lectins (CTLs) are involved in the detection of viral/microbial carbohydrates. We studied a family of soluble CTLs in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which acts as a vector for viruses like dengue and Zika. Using crystallography, biophysics, and structure prediction approaches, we found that these proteins consistently pair together in the same ...
