Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Aspects of prion protein dynamics in cell culture models. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The cell biology of Prion formation and transfer is not well understood. In order to further elucidate the dynamics of PrPc and PrPsc in a cellular context, fusions between Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and PrP were constructed and infected/uninfected ...

Exploring the K+ binding site and its coupling to transport in the neurotransmitter:sodium symporter LeuT

open access: yeseLife
The neurotransmitter:sodium symporters (NSSs) are secondary active transporters that couple the reuptake of substrate to the symport of one or two sodium ions. One bound Na+ (Na1) contributes to the substrate binding, while the other Na+ (Na2) is thought

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Peptide aptamers define distinct EB1- and EB3-binding motifs and interfere with microtubule dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
EB1 is a conserved protein that plays a central role in regulating microtubule dynamics and organisation. It binds directly to microtubule plus ends and recruits other plus end localising proteins.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

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

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Statistical Models of the Protein Fitness Landscape: Applications to Protein Evolution and Engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Understanding the protein fitness landscape is important for describing how natural proteins evolve and for engineering new proteins with useful properties.

Structural insights into tRNA recognition of the human FTSJ1-THADA complex

open access: yesCommunications Biology
tRNA undergoes various post-transcriptional modifications in the anticodon loop. FTSJ1, a protein conserved among most eukaryotes, mediates 2’-O-methylations at position 32 (Nm32) or position 34 (Nm34), complexed with THADA or WDR6, respectively.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS 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.
