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

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Engineering of a femtomolar affinity binding protein to human serum albumin
, 2008 We describe the development of a novel serum albumin binding protein showing an extremely high affinity (K(D)) for HSA in the femtomolar range. Using a naturally occurring 46-residue three-helix bundle albumin binding domain (ABD) of nanomolar affinity ...

The diverse dependence of galectin-1 and -8 on multivalency for the modulation of FGFR1 endocytosis
Cell Communication and SignalingFibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is a N-glycosylated cell surface receptor tyrosine kinase, which upon recognition of specific extracellular ligands, fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), initiates an intracellular signaling.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Determining biophysical protein stability in lysates by a fast proteolysis assay, FASTpp.
, 2012 The biophysical stability is an important parameter for protein activity both in vivo and in vitro. Here we propose a method to analyse thermal melting of protein domains in lysates: Fast parallel proteolysis (FASTpp).

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Identification of a peptide antagonist of the FGF1–FGFR1 signaling axis by phage display selection
FEBS Open Bio, 2019 Overexpression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is a common aberration in lung and breast cancers and has necessitated the design of drugs targeting FGFR1‐dependent downstream signaling and FGFR1 ligand binding.

Transposon for protein engineering [PDF]
Mobile Genetic Elements, 2016 Protein insertional fusion and circular permutation are 2 promising protein engineering techniques for creating integrated functionalities and sequence diversity of a protein, respectively. Finding insertion locations for protein insertional fusion and new termini for circular permutation through a rational approach is not always straightforward ...
