Site-specific identification and quantitation of endogenous SUMO modifications under native conditions. [PDF]
, 2017 Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) modification regulates numerous cellular processes. Unlike ubiquitin, detection of endogenous SUMOylated proteins is limited by the lack of naturally occurring protease sites in the C-terminal tail of SUMO proteins ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

MALT1 proteolytic activity suppresses autoimmunity in a T cell intrinsic manner [PDF]
, 2019 MALT1 is a central signaling component in innate and adaptive immunity by regulating NF-kappa B and other key signaling pathways in different cell types. Activities of MALT1 are mediated by its scaffold and protease functions.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Entrapment of protease from Bacillus sp. in polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels
The European Chemistry and Biotechnology JournalThis study highlights the effective immobilization of protease from Bacillus sp. in polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels and its characterization. Both free and entrapped proteases exhibited optimal activity at pH 8.0 and 55°C, indicating that the immobilization

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.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Human CLPP reverts the longevity phenotype of a fungal ClpP deletion strain [PDF]
, 2013 Mitochondrial maintenance crucially depends on the quality control of proteins by various chaperones, proteases and repair enzymes. While most of the involved components have been studied in some detail, little is known on the biological role of the ...
