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.

Polyphosphate and tyrosine phosphorylation in the N-terminal domain of the human mitochondrial Lon protease disrupts its functions

Scientific Reports
Phosphorylation plays a crucial role in the regulation of many fundamental cellular processes. Phosphorylation levels are increased in many cancer cells where they may promote changes in mitochondrial homeostasis.

Solubility of proteins

ADMET and DMPK, 2020
Solubility is a fundamental protein property that has important connotations for therapeutics and use in diagnosis. Solubility of many proteins is low and affect heterologous overexpression of proteins, formulation of products and their stability.

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

Macromolecular crystallography from an industrial perspective – the impact of synchrotron radiation on structure-based drug discovery

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation
Structure-based drug design has been an integral part of drug discovery for over three decades, contributing to the development of numerous approved drugs. Here we discuss the evolution, as well as the current state, of structure-based drug design within

Crystal structure of 4,6-diamino-2,2-dimethyl-3-[3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propoxy]-2,3-dihydro-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium chloride methanol monosolvate

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2015
In the title methanol-solvated salt, C14H19Cl3N5O2+·Cl−·CH3OH, the triazine molecule is protonated at one of the triazine N atoms. In the crystal, the triazine cations are linked through a pair of N—H...N hydrogen bonds, with graph-set R22(8), forming an

Cilia regeneration requires an RNA splicing factor from the ciliary base

Cell Regeneration, 2022
Cilia are microtubule-based organelles projected from most eukaryotic cell surfaces performing cell motility and signaling. Several previously recognized non-ciliary proteins play crucial roles in cilium formation and function.
