Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

The EndoC-βH1 cell line is a valid model of human beta cells and applicable for screenings to identify novel drug target candidates

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2018
Objective: To characterize the EndoC-βH1 cell line as a model for human beta cells and evaluate its beta cell functionality, focusing on insulin secretion, proliferation, apoptosis and ER stress, with the objective to assess its potential as a screening ...

Protein-RNA interactions: a structural analysis

open access: yes, 2001
A detailed computational analysis of 32 protein-RNA complexes is presented. A number of physical and chemical properties of the intermolecular interfaces are calculated and compared with those observed in protein-double-stranded DNA and protein-single ...

Local pre-processing for node classification in networks : application in protein-protein interaction

open access: yes, 2013
Network modelling provides an increasingly popular conceptualisation in a wide range of domains, including the analysis of protein structure. Typical approaches to analysis model parameter values at nodes within the network. The spherical locality around

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

GABAA receptor dependent synaptic inhibition rapidly tunes KCC2 activity via the Cl−-sensitive WNK1 kinase

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
GABAergic transmission regulates the K+-Cl− co-transporter KCC2. Here the authors demonstrate that inhibitory transmission, via GABAA receptor and WNK signaling, regulates KCC2 expression in the membrane of hippocampal neurons.

Der p 5 allergen from house dust mite: first epitope mapping of rabbit IgG blocking antibodies

open access: yesNew Microbes and New Infections, 2019
Der p 5 is one of the important house dust mite allergens in Algeria; this allergen is frequently recognized by patients with allergic asthma. However, there is no information on its IgG–binding epitopes. In the present study, rabbits were immunized with

Formation and properties of S‐protein complex with S‐peptide‐containing fusion protein

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1994
A fusion protein (FP) comprised of the RNase A S‐peptide and human epidermal growth factor was shown to form a stable noncovalent catalytically active complex with the RNase A S‐protein at a stoichiometric ratio 1:1 with K diss = 5.0 × 10−7M. The S‐protein complex with FP exhibits the pyrimidine specificity toward substrates in both reactions catalyzed
