Antibody-induced dimerization of FGFR1 promotes receptor endocytosis independently of its kinase activity

Scientific Reports, 2017
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their plasma membrane-localized receptors (FGFRs) play a key role in the regulation of developmental processes and metabolism.

Beyond bispecificity: Controlled Fab arm exchange for the generation of antibodies with multiple specificities

mAbs, 2022
Controlled Fab arm exchange (cFAE) has proven to be a generic and versatile technology for the efficient generation of IgG-like bispecific antibodies (DuoBodies or DBs), with several in clinical development and one product, amivantamab, approved by the ...

The immunological interface: dendritic cells as key regulators in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

The intracellular interplay between galectin-1 and FGF12 in the assembly of ribosome biogenesis complex

Cell Communication and Signaling
Galectins constitute a class of lectins that specifically interact with β-galactoside sugars in glycoconjugates and are implicated in diverse cellular processes, including transport, autophagy or signaling. Since most of the activity of galectins depends

The Protein Engineering Tournament: An Open Science Benchmark for Protein Modeling and Design [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The grand challenge of protein engineering is the development of computational models that can characterize and generate protein sequences for any arbitrary function. However, progress today is limited by lack of 1) benchmarks with which to compare computational techniques, 2) large datasets of protein function, and 3) democratized access to ...

Characterization of fungal carbonyl sulfide hydrolase belonging to clade D β‐carbonic anhydrase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Here, we performed a functional analysis of the fungal enzymes belonging to clade D of the β‐class carbonic anhydrase family (β‐D‐CA). The β‐D‐CAs in the basidiomycete Gloeophyllum trabeum and the ascomycete Trichoderma harzianum showed very low activity in the hydration of CO2 but exhibited high activity in the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide (COS ...

A histidine‐rich extension of the mitochondrial F0 subunit ATP6 from the ice worm Mesenchytraeus solifugus increases ATP synthase activity in bacteria

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The glacier ice worm Mesenchytraeus solifugus survives year‐round at 0 °C. Its ATP6 subunit, which forms a regulatory component of the proton pore in mitochondrial ATP synthase, has a carboxy‐terminal extension not found in any other organism examined to date. Here, we show that fusion of this extension to the homologous AtpB protein in E. coli results

Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase promotes pancreatic cancer development by interacting with eIF4A1 and eIF4E

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2019
Background Pancreatic cancer is one of the most malignant cancers. The overall 5-year survival rate of its patients is 8%, the lowest among major cancer types.

Matrine alleviates depressive-like behaviors via modulating microbiota–gut–brain axis in CUMS-induced mice

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2023
Background The realization of the “microbiota–gut–brain” axis plays a critical role in neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly depression, is advancing rapidly.

FGF1 Fusions with the Fc Fragment of IgG1 for the Assembly of GFPpolygons-Mediated Multivalent Complexes Recognizing FGFRs

Biomolecules, 2021
FGFRs are cell surface receptors that, when activated by specific FGFs ligands, transmit signals through the plasma membrane, regulating key cellular processes such as differentiation, division, motility, metabolism and death. We have recently shown that
