Synthesis of an Enzyme‐Triggered Chitosan‐Based Drug Delivery System for Peri‐Implantitis Prevention

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dental implants have become a leading solution for tooth loss, yet bacterial infections remain a major complication. Antibacterial implant coatings are an important approach to reduce or prevent bacterial infections at the implant. Given the oral cavity's complex microbiome and the importance of some commensal bacteria, it is crucial to ...

S-acylation of a non-secreted peptide controls plant immunity via secreted-peptide signal activation

EMBO Reports
Small peptides modulate multiple processes in plant cells, but their regulation by post-translational modification remains unclear. ROT4 (ROTUNDIFOLIA4) belongs to a family of Arabidopsis non-secreted small peptides, but knowledge on its molecular ...

Development of catecholamine and cortisol stress responses in zebrafish. [PDF]

, 2014
Both adrenal catecholamines and steroids are known to be involved in the stress response, immune function, blood pressure and energy homeostasis. The response to stress is characterized by the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis ...

In vitro Detection of S-acylation on Recombinant Proteins via the Biotin-Switch Technique

Bio-Protocol, 2014
Protein palmitoylation is the post-translational modification of proteins via the attachment of palmitate through acyl linkages. The nucleophile sulfhydryl group of cysteines is the common palmitoylation site.

Analysis of Diffusion of Ras2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Using Fluorescence Recovery after Photobleaching

, 2010
Binding, lateral diffusion and exchange are fundamental dynamic processes involved in protein association with cellular membranes. In this study, we developed numerical simulations of lateral diffusion and exchange of fluorophores in membranes with ...

S-acylation of Ca2+ transport proteins: molecular basis and functional consequences

Biochemical Society Transactions
Calcium (Ca2+) regulates a multitude of cellular processes during fertilization and throughout adult life by acting as an intracellular messenger to control effector functions in excitable and non-excitable cells. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ levels are driven by the co-ordinated action of Ca2+ channels, pumps, and exchangers, and the resulting ...

Synthetic Strategies for Activity‐Based Probes to Decode Ubiquitin‐Like Modifiers

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ubiquitin‐like proteins (Ubls) such as SUMO, NEDD8, ISG15, URM1, UFM1, FAT10, ATG8/ATG12, and FUBI are essential regulators of cellular homeostasis, controlling processes from protein stability and trafficking to immune signaling and autophagy.

Chemical Ligation of Backbone N‐hydroxylated Peptides

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Peptide backbone N‐hydroxylation enables sequence‐agnostic fragment ligation via hydroxamate O‐acyl capture and O→N acyl transfer in water. Broad tolerance of sterically demanding nucleophilic residues is observed, and reductive N─O cleavage restores the native amide bond.
