Thimet Oligopeptidase Biochemical and Biological Significances: Past, Present, and Future Directions
Biomolecules, 2020 Thimet oligopeptidase (EC 3.4.24.15; EP24.15, THOP1) is a metallopeptidase ubiquitously distributed in mammalian tissues. Beyond its previously well characterized role in major histocompatibility class I (MHC-I) antigen presentation, the recent ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Proteases, Protease-Activated Receptors, and Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2018 Coagulation activation by the TF (tissue factor) pathway plays pivotal roles in triggering platelets and precipitating acute coronary syndromes. Although dual antiplatelet therapy is effective in secondary cardiovascular prevention, combining platelet antagonism with low-dose aspirin and the oral coagulation FXa antagonist rivaroxaban has a synergistic

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...
