Palmitoylation and membrane cholesterol stabilize μ-opioid receptor homodimerization and G protein coupling [PDF]

, 2012
Background A cholesterol-palmitoyl interaction has been reported to occur in the dimeric interface of the β2-adrenergic receptor crystal structure. We sought to investigate whether a similar phenomenon could be observed with μ-opioid receptor (OPRM1 ...

Bio‐active designed peptide for hair keratin strengthening

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Bioactive tripeptides through in silico screening revealed KCV (Tripeptide‐132) as the most promising keratin‐targeting candidate. Experimental studies confirmed its superior hair‐strengthening performance with 44% tensile strength enhancement, 50% breakage reduction, improved surface integrity and fibre penetration.

Palmitoylation enhances the stability of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus spike protein by antagonizing its degradation via chaperone-mediated autophagy to facilitate viral proliferation

Journal of Virology
Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly pathogenic and infectious intestinal disease caused by the PED virus (PEDV) and has inflicted substantial economic losses on the global swine industry. Therefore, it is imperative to explore appropriate targets

Mutations in the SHR5 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae suppress Ras function and block membrane attachment and palmitoylation of Ras proteins [PDF]

, 1995
We have identified a gene, SHR5, in a screen for extragenic suppressors of the hyperactive RAS2Val-19 mutation in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. SHR5 was cloned, sequenced, and found to encode a 23-kDa protein not significantly homologous to

Bioconversion of carotenoids into high‐value crocins using a marine sponge carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites

Protein regulatory network mediated by palmitoylation modifications in the pathological progression of Parkinson’s disease: a narrative review

Frontiers in Immunology
Palmitoylation is a reversible lipid modification regulated by palmitoyl transferases and acyl-protein thioesterases, in which palmitic acid is attached to protein cysteine residues.

Gephyrin palmitoylation and oligomerization in synaptic plasticity, membrane recruitment and proteostasis [PDF]

, 2012
Efficient signal transmission in the central nervous system is essential for higher brain functions. Inhibitory signaling in the brain primarily takes place at GABAergic (γ-aminobutyric acid) synapses and balances the activity of excitatory synapses ...

Biomimetic soft matter [PDF]

, 2011
Biomaterials are often soft materials. There is now growing interest in designing, synthesizing and characterising soft materials that mimic the properties of biological materials such as tissue, proteins, DNA or cells. Research on biomimetic soft matter
