Sequence determinants of protein aggregation : tools to increase protein solubility [PDF]
, 2005 Escherichia coli is one of the most widely used hosts for the production of recombinant proteins. However, very often the target protein accumulates into insoluble aggregates in a misfolded and biologically inactive form.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 A feature common to late onset proteinopathic disorders is an accumulation of toxic protein conformers and aggregates in affected tissues. In the search for potential drug targets, many studies used high-throughput screens to find genes that modify the ...

Mechanisms of protein aggregation and inhibition
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2017 Protein and peptide aggregation raises keen interest due to their involvement in number of pathological conditions ranging from neurodegenerative disorders to systemic amyloidosis. Here, we have reviewed recent advances in mechanisms of aggregation, emerging technologies towards exploration, characterization of aggregate structures, detection at ...

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 ...

Solution pH jump during antibody and Fc-fusion protein thaw leads to increased aggregation
Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis, 2018 Freeze-thaw cycles impact the amount of aggregation observed in antibodies and Fc-fusion proteins. Various formulation strategies are used to mitigate the amount of aggregation that occurs upon putting a protein solution through a freeze-thaw cycle ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...
