Structural insight into the function of human peptidyl arginine deiminase 6

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
Peptidyl arginine deiminase 6 (PADI6 or PAD6) is vital for early embryonic development in mice and humans, yet its function remains elusive. PADI6 is less conserved than other PADIs and it is currently unknown whether it has a catalytic function. Here we

Effect of DFPP on Ferroptosis in Peripheral Blood CD14+ Monocytes of Hyperlipidemic Patients Involving the ACSL4/LPCAT3/ALOX5 Pathway

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although statins are the cornerstone of lipid‐lowering therapy, their use may be limited in some patients by adverse effects. This study evaluated the possible impact of non‐drug treatment using double‐filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) on CD14+

Protein-RNA interactions: a structural analysis [PDF]

, 2001
A detailed computational analysis of 32 protein-RNA complexes is presented. A number of physical and chemical properties of the intermolecular interfaces are calculated and compared with those observed in protein-double-stranded DNA and protein-single ...

HPLC for at-line reaction monitoring and purification improves yield and purity of tRNA

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Engineered transfer RNA is an emerging therapeutic modality, particularly suited to treatment of diseases caused by genetic disorders based on premature termination codons, frameshifts, or missense mutations.

Protein-Protein Interaction Analysis by Docking

Algorithms, 2009
Based on a protein-protein docking approach we have developed a procedure to verify or falsify protein-protein interactions that were proposed by other methods such as yeast-2-hybrid assays.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

SLIDER: Mining correlated motifs in protein-protein interaction networks [PDF]

, 2009
—Correlated motif mining (CMM) is the problem to find overrepresented pairs of patterns, called motif pairs, in interacting protein sequences. Algorithmic solutions for CMM thereby provide a computational method for predicting binding sites for protein ...

Structural basis for protein-free catalysis by ribonuclease P ribozyme

Nature Communications
Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is an essential metallonuclease found in all three domains of life. However, the structural basis for the ancient RNase P RNA component acting alone as a ribozyme and catalytic metal-ion chemistry remains unknown.

The Arginine-Rich Motif of Bamboo mosaic virus Satellite RNA-Encoded P20 Mediates Self-Interaction, Intracellular Targeting, and Cell-to-Cell Movement

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
Satellite RNA of Bamboo mosaic virus (satBaMV) has a single open reading frame for a nonstructural, RNA-binding protein, P20, which facilitates the long-distance movement of satBaMV in Nicotiana benthamiana.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
