Subunit Stoichiometry of a Heteromultimeric G protein-coupled Inward-rectifier K^+ Channel [PDF]
, 1996 We investigated the stoichiometry of the heteromultimeric G protein-coupled inward-recitfier K^+ channel (GIRK) formed from GIRK1 and GIRK4 subunits. Multimeric GIRK constructs with several concatenated channel subunits were expressed in Xenopus oocytes.

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Subunit interactions within the Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA polymerase ε (pol ε) complex - Demonstration of a dimeric pol ε [PDF]
, 2000 Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA polymerase epsilon (pol ε) is essential for chromosomal replication. A major form of pol ε purified from yeast consists of at least four subunits: Pol2p, Dpb2p, Dpb3p, and Dpb4p.

Subunit counting in membrane-bound proteins [PDF]
Nature Methods, 2007 The subunit number and stoichiometry of membrane-bound proteins are difficult to determine without disrupting their membrane environment. Here we describe a single-molecule technique for counting subunits of proteins in live cell membranes by observing bleaching steps of GFP fused to a protein of interest.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) involved in inflammatory pathophysiology. After cellular stimulation, 5‐LOX translocates to the nucleus, interacting with the 5‐LOX‐activating protein (FLAP) to form LTA4 from arachidonic acid (AA).

Brucella NyxA and NyxB dimerization enhances effector function during infection
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Brucella abortus thrives inside cells thanks to the translocation of effector proteins that fine‐tune cellular functions. NyxA and NyxB are two effectors that destabilize the nucleolar localization of their host target, SENP3. We show that the Nyx proteins directly interact with each other and that their dimerization is essential for their function ...

Lab-on-a-Chip method uncertanties in determination of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits [PDF]
Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly, 2013 Polymeric wheat endosperm proteins, especially the high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS), are probably the most interesting protein fraction giving the essential information about bread-making quality of wheat flour.
