Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Identification and characterisation of calcitonin receptor isoforms expressed in glioblastoma derived glioma stem and U‐87 MG cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma cells express calcitonin receptor variants (CT receptor isoforms) that may help them survive stress. Using qPCR, transcript‐specific long‐read nanopore sequencing, immunofluorescence co‐localisation and comparative sequence analysis, this study identifies a novel alternatively spliced CALCR transcript that encodes the CTb receptor isoform ...

PSMB4: a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for depression, perspective from integration analysis of depression GWAS data and human plasma proteome

Translational Psychiatry
Depression is a common and severe mental disorder that affects more than 300 million people worldwide. While it is known to have a moderate genetic component, identifying specific genes that contribute to the disorder has been challenging.

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

Human brain proteome-wide association study provides insights into the genetic components of protein abundance in obesity

International Journal of Obesity
Abstract Backgrounds:Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple genetic variants associated with obesity. However, most obesity-associated loci were waiting to be translated into new biological insights. Given the critical role of brain in obesity development, we sought to explore whether obesity-associated genetic variants could ...

Identification and characterization of a gene conferring stress resistance in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Functional screening identified PcSyn14890, a cyanobacteria‐specific protein that enhances growth and stress resistance in E. coli and Synechocystis PCC6803. Although we expected it to function as a molecular chaperone, it was unable to protect against thermal aggregation of GAPDH.

Transcriptome and plasma proteome analyses identify susceptibility genes and proteins for alcohol-related hepatocellular carcinoma

Human Genomics
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified loci associated with alcohol-related hepatocellular carcinoma (ALD-HCC); however, most risk variants lie in noncoding regions and the downstream regulatory architecture remains ...

Plasma EV Proteomics Identifies ECM Remodeling and Inflammatory Proteins LUM and C7 as Candidate Biomarkers in FSHD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most debilitating and common muscular dystrophies. Despite its severity, no approved therapy exists for FSHD patients. However, several therapeutic candidates are currently under development, and some have recently entered clinical trials, marking the need for reliable ...

Integrative proteogenomic and observational analysis identifies potential biomarkers for latent autoimmune diabetes in adults

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) shares core genetic and immunological features with type 1 diabetes (T1D) but is frequently misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes (T2D).
