Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

Receptor Binding Domains of TcdB from Clostridioides difficile for Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan-4 and Frizzled Proteins Are Functionally Independent and Additive

Toxins, 2020
Toxin B (TcdB) produced by Clostridioides difficile is a main pathogenicity factor that affects a variety of different cell types within the colonic mucosa. TcdB is known to utilize frizzled-1,2,7 and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan-4 (CSPG4) as protein

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Prospecting the protein design landscape

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

Protein recruitment to receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated early signalling complexes. [PDF]

, 2007
Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signalling regulates the activation of numerous cellular processes in response to various external stimuli. Spatio-temporal regulation of protein recruitment to activated tyrosine kinase receptors is important for the ...

The mitogenic potential of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor in the human endometrium is mediated by the epidermal growth factor receptor and is modulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha [PDF]

, 2002
Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, is implicated in a variety of biological processes, including reproduction.

RNA‐related functions of BRCA2 in transcription, replication, and genome stability

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in homologous recombination, BRCA2 regulates R‐loop homeostasis, DNA–RNA hybrid resolution, RNA polymerase II dynamics, and transcriptional activation. Disruption of any of these functions can contribute to genome instability, inflammatory signaling, and tumorigenesis. BRCA2 is a central tumor suppressor protein best known for its roles

Molecular pharmacology of an insect GABA receptor [PDF]

, 2010
Cys-loop receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that are involved in fast synaptic neurotransmission in the central and peripheral nervous system. The Cys-loop receptor RDL (‘resistant to dieldrin’) is a GABA-gated chloride channel from Drosophila ...

Novel emerging reassortant H6 avian influenza viruses with internal genes from G57 genotype of H9N2 pose potential zoonotic risk

Emerging Microbes and Infections
In recent decades, multiple novel reassortant avian influenza viruses (AIVs) carrying internal genes derived from H9N2 viruses have emerged in poultry in China and have repeatedly caused human infections, highlighting the pivotal role of the H9N2 ...

Pregnanes That Bind To The Digitalis Receptor

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 1998
Steroid binding domains of Na,K-ATPase and the nuclear hormone receptors share amino acid sequence homologies. In a ouabain radioligand assay, the potencies of series of planar or bent steroid moieties suggest that the domain in Na,K-ATPase can accommodate compounds with a planar configuration.
