Monoclonal Antibodies as Probes to Study Ligand-Induced Conformations of Troponin Subunits

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Striated muscle contraction and relaxation is regulated by Ca2+ at the myofilament level via conformational modulations of the troponin complex. To understand the structure–function relationship of troponin in normal muscle and in myopathies, it is ...

A New Function for Amyloid-Like Interactions: Cross-Beta Aggregates of Adhesins form Cell-to-Cell Bonds

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
Amyloid structures assemble through a repeating type of bonding called “cross-β”, in which identical sequences in many protein molecules form β-sheets that interdigitate through side chain interactions.

Translation from the Ribosome to the Clinic: Implication in Neurological Disorders and New Perspectives from Recent Advances

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
De novo protein synthesis by the ribosome and its multitude of co-factors must occur in a tightly regulated manner to ensure that the correct proteins are produced accurately at the right time and, in some cases, also in the proper location.

Mechano-transduction: from molecules to tissues. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
External forces play complex roles in cell organization, fate, and homeostasis. Changes in these forces, or how cells respond to them, can result in abnormal embryonic development and diseases in adults.

Novel ADAMTS13 mutations in a patient with congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

open access: yesHematology, 2023
Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene. Approximately 200 mutations of the ADAMTS-13 gene have been identified, although only a few have been ...

Aβ Secretion and Plaque Formation Depend on Autophagy

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease biochemically characterized by aberrant protein aggregation, including amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide accumulation. Protein aggregates in the cell are cleared by autophagy, a mechanism impaired in AD. To
