Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Novel Restless Legs Syndrome Susceptibility Loci on 2p14 and 16q12.1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder with an age-dependent prevalence of up to 10% in the general population above 65 years of age. Affected individuals suffer from uncomfortable sensations and an urge to move in the lower limbs that ...

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Associations of plasma protein levels with risk of colorectal cancer: a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesClinical Proteomics
Abstract Background The treatment of advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a global challenge. Mendelian Randomization (MR) has been primarily applied for repurposing licensed drugs and uncovering new therapeutic targets. Objective This study aims to systematically identify potential plasma protein targets for CRC using ...

Identification of novel proteins associated with intelligence by integrating genome-wide association data and human brain proteomics.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants associated with intelligence, their biological mechanisms remain largely unexplored.

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

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Linear and non-linear proteome-wide association studies provide novel insight into venous thromboembolism

open access: yesNature Communications
Venous thromboembolism is a life-threatening vascular event with high prevalence and genetic determinants. PWAS has become a popular strategy to identify therapeutic targets of complex diseases. However, the current PWAS model only considers the linear relationship between protein and disease.

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Genome-wide association study of behavioural and psychiatric features in human prion disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Prion diseases are rare neurodegenerative conditions causing highly variable clinical syndromes, which often include prominent neuropsychiatric symptoms.

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

open access: yesFEBS 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.
