Sodium Ions Affect GPR17 Conformational States and Functionality

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sodium is an allosteric modulator of several class‐A GPCR regulating active versus inactive conformation state and may be a critical issue for the optimization of crystallization procedures. Herein, the role of Na+ in the regulation of GPR17 conformational states was studied through MD simulations of GPR17 wild‐type and mutated on two ...

Prediction of Prion Proteins in E. coli Based on Bimodal Sequence Characteristics

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prions are infectious proteins that bear misfolded conformations capable of converting folded states into misfolded aggregates under physiologically relevant conditions. In mammals, prions cause deadly maladies including Creutzfeldt‐Jakob and chronic wasting disease. To date, several prion proteins have been identified in eukaryotes, primarily

Microtubule binding of the human augmin complex is directly controlled by importins and Ran-GTP

open access: yes, 2023
Mitotic spindle assembly during cell division is a highly regulated process. Ran-GTP produced around chromosomes controls the activity of a multitude of spindle assembly factors by releasing them from inhibitory interaction with importins.

Baicalein Sensitizes Radioresistant BT549 and MCF7‐R Breast Cancer Cells by Modulating Rac1 Signaling

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radioresistance remains a key barrier in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Baicalein, a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, has shown potential to enhance radiosensitivity. This study investigates its efficacy and mechanism in radioresistant BC models. Radioresistant BC cell models were established via fractionated irradiation and validated by

Localization of the Ran-GTP binding protein RanBP2 at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex.

open access: yesEuropean journal of cell biology, 1996
A partial cDNA clone coding for the mouse homologue of the human Ran-GTP binding protein, RanBP2, has been isolated by screening of a murine expression library with antibodies to nup180, a previously identified nuclear pore complex protein (nucleoporin).

An intracellular recombinant single‐chain variable antibody fragment as a new class of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger involved in human (patho‐)physiology. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a major cGMP hydrolyzing enzyme in many cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Several highly selective PDE5 inhibitors are in clinical use. However, there are currently no

Cloning and characterisation of genes determining pod morphology in pea [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Genes expressed in developing pea pods were isolated as cDNAs by differential screening techniques. The cDNAs were characterised by DNA sequencing and expression studies were used to investigate the role of isolated cDNAs in pod development.

A Vanillin‐Derived Inhibitor of Aggregates via Targeting Intrinsically Disordered Regions of Phytoviral Nucleocapsid Protein

open access: yesAggregate
Phase separation (PS) plays a fundamental role in organizing aggregates during the viral lifecycle, providing significant opportunities for in viral disease treatment by inhibiting PS. Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) have been extensively studied

Inhibition of late sodium current prevents pathological hyperactivation of calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase IIδ in a murine model of acute doxorubicin‐related cardiotoxicity

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective anthracycline, whose clinical application for cancer is limited by cardiotoxicity. The mechanisms underlying doxorubicin‐induced toxic cardiomyopathy (DICM) involve electrophysiological remodelling with intracellular Na+ overload because of increased late INa and hyperactivation of
