FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Bovine Serum Albumin Rejection by an Open Ultrafiltration Membrane: Characterization and Modeling
MembranesThe classic application of ultrafiltration (UF) is for the complete retention of proteins, and in that situation, the transport behavior is well established.

CAVER 3.0: A Tool for the Analysis of Transport Pathways in Dynamic Protein Structures
PLoS Comput. Biol., 2012 Tunnels and channels facilitate the transport of small molecules, ions and water solvent in a large variety of proteins. Characteristics of individual transport pathways, including their geometry, physico-chemical properties and dynamics are instrumental

Intracellular Transport of the S Proteins of Coronaviruses [PDF]
, 2006 Coronaviruses mature by a budding process at intracellular membranes. For two of the viral membrane proteins, M and E, it has been shown that they are intracellularly retained. Upon single expression, the M proteins of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and avian infectious bronchitis virus are localized in the cis-Golgi network or cis-Golgi ...

Ion channel function of polycystin‐2/polycystin‐1 heteromer revealed by structure‐guided mutagenesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mutations in polycystin‐1 (PC1) or polycystin‐2 (PC2) cause autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We generated a novel gain‐of‐function PC2/PC1 heteromeric ion channel by mutating pore‐blocking residues. Moreover, we demonstrated that PC2 will preferentially assemble with PC1 to form heteromeric complexes when PC1 is co‐expressed ...

Structure-function analysis of the DNA-binding domain of a transmembrane transcriptional activator
Scientific Reports, 2017 The transmembrane DNA-binding protein CadC of E. coli, a representative of the ToxR-like receptor family, combines input and effector domains for signal sensing and transcriptional activation, respectively, in a single protein, thus representing one of ...

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.
