CoCl2‐induced glioma hypoxia environment enhances CD47‐SIRPα to promote tumor immune evasion

open access: yesMedComm – Oncology
Elevated levels of tumor‐associated macrophages and microglia in the immune microenvironment of malignant gliomas promote tumor growth and progression.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Pan-cancer analysis of TMED2: unraveling potential immune characteristics and prognostic value in cancer therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
BackgroundTransmembrane emp24 domain-containing protein 2 (TMED2) is involved in the sorting and transport of proteins between the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Dual or Not Dual?—Comparative Analysis of Fluorescence Microscopy-Based Approaches to Study Organelle Targeting Specificity of Nuclear-Encoded Plant Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plant cells are unique as they carry two organelles of endosymbiotic origin, namely mitochondria and chloroplasts (plastids) which have specific but partially overlapping functions, e. g., in energy and redox metabolism.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Diverse roles for the p24 family of proteins in eukaryotic cells

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2012
Members of the p24 protein family form a highly conserved family of type I transmembrane proteins that are abundant components of the early secretory pathway.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Protein-DNA charge transport: Redox activation of a DNA repair protein by guanine radical [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
DNA charge transport (CT) chemistry provides a route to carry out oxidative DNA damage from a distance in a reaction that is sensitive to DNA mismatches and lesions. Here, DNA-mediated CT also leads to oxidation of a DNA-bound base excision repair enzyme,
