Artificial Hsp104-mediated systems for re-localizing protein aggregates

open access: yes, 2023

Emerging Therapies in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Targeting Protein Aggregates

open access: yes, 2023
Neurodegenerative diseases represent a group of debilitating conditions characterized by the progressive degeneration of neurons, resulting in cognitive and motor impairments.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Golgi Fragmentation in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Is There a Common Cause?

open access: yesCells, 2019
In most mammalian cells, the Golgi complex forms a continuous ribbon. In neurodegenerative diseases, the Golgi ribbon of a specific group of neurons is typically broken into isolated elements, a very early event which happens before clinical and other ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Formation of whey protein aggregates by partial hydrolysis and reduced thermal treatment

open access: yes, 2022
Thermal treatment to form functional, soluble whey protein aggregates often generates undesired off-flavours. The aim of the present study was to generate soluble aggregates of whey protein isolates (WPI) at lower temperature than traditionally used by ...

PROBING BIOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THERAPEUTIC PROTEIN AGGREGATES WITH INTERFEROMETRIC SCATTERING MICROSCOPY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
A growing biopharmaceutical market increases the importance of therapeutic proteins, of which monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are the largest category. Protein aggregation in biopharmaceutical production has important consequences in mAb immunogenicity ...

A dual‐functional BODIPY‐based molecular rotor probe reveals different viscosity of protein aggregates in live cells

open access: yesAggregate, 2023
Aberrant protein aggregation leads to various human diseases, but little is known about the physical chemical properties of these aggregated proteins in cells. Herein, we developed a boron‐dipyrromethene (BODIPY)‐based HaloTag probe, whose conjugation to

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...
