Identification of inactive conformation‐selective interleukin‐2‐inducible T‐cell kinase (ITK) inhibitors based on second‐harmonic generation

FEBS Open Bio, 2018
Many clinically approved protein kinase inhibitors stabilize an inactive conformation of their kinase target. Such inhibitors are generally highly selective compared to active conformation inhibitors, and consequently, general methods to identify ...

Reading the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence

, 2000
While all the information required for the folding of a protein is contained in its amino acid sequence, one has not yet learnt how to extract this information so as to predict the detailed, biological active, three-dimensional structure of a protein ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Library screening identifies commercial drugs as potential structure correctors of abnormal apolipoprotein A-I

Journal of Lipid Research
AapoA-I, the main protein of high-density lipoprotein, plays a key role in the biogenesis and atheroprotective properties of high-density lipoprotein.

Determining in situ protein conformation and orientation from the amide-I sum-frequency generation spectrum: theory and experiment.

Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2013
Vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) spectra of the amide-I band of proteins can give detailed insight into biomolecular processes near membranes. However, interpreting these spectra in terms of the conformation and orientation of a protein can be

Single cis‐elements in brassinosteroid‐induced upregulated genes are insufficient to recruit both redox states of the BIL1/BZR1 DNA‐binding domain

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phytohormone brassinosteroid‐induced gene regulation by the transcription factor BIL1/BZR1 involves redox‐dependent DNA‐binding alternation and interaction with the transcription factor PIF4. The reduced BIL1/BZR1 dimer binds preferred cis‐elements, while oxidation alters its oligomerization state and disrupts DNA‐binding ability.

Insights into the mechanism of reversible blood‐brain barrier opening via second near‐infrared region excited gold nanorods photothermal effect: Regulation of the tight junction protein occludin

Smart Molecules
This study constructed an in vitro blood‐brain barrier (BBB) transwell model to investigate the regulatory effects and mechanisms of the photothermal effects of gold nanorods (AuNRs) excited by the second near‐infrared region (NIR‐II) on BBB permeability.

Protein conformation in a vaccine matters. [PDF]

Oncotarget, 2015
Vaccination is one of the most successful public health measures for control of viral diseases. Indeed, vaccines have either eliminated or considerably reduced many viral diseases worldwide. However, there are still many serious viral pathogens for which no vaccine is available. One of these pathogens is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

On the optimal contact potential of proteins

, 2007
We analytically derive the lower bound of the total conformational energy of a protein structure by assuming that the total conformational energy is well approximated by the sum of sequence-dependent pairwise contact energies.

Structural dynamics of the plant hormone receptor ETR1 in a native‐like membrane environment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The present study unveils the structural and signaling dynamics of ETR1, a key plant ethylene receptor. Using an optimized nanodisc system and solution NMR, we captured full‐length ETR1 in a native‐like membrane environment. Our findings reveal dynamic domain uncoupling and Cu(I)‐induced rigidification, providing the first evidence of metal‐triggered ...
