Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Expression of serotonin 2A, 2C, 6 and 7 receptor and IL-6 mRNA in experimental toxoplasmic encephalitis in mice

Heliyon, 2019
The neurotropic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii infects about one-third of the human population. Both acute and chronic (latent or life-long) forms of toxoplasmosis are associated with specific neurologic and neuropsychiatric symptoms.

How structural disorder and polyelectrolyte properties of prothymosin α enable its large interactome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, complexes of the fully disordered and highly negatively charged prothymosin α are collected, described, and discussed. Linked to its poly‐electrostatic character, prothymosin α engages a large interactome through multiple different binding modes ranging from fully disordered complexes to short linear motif (SLiM)‐driven interactions ...

Signal transduction of Interleukin-11 and Interleukin-6 ?-Receptors [PDF]

, 2016
The cytokines Interleukin (IL)-11 and IL-6 are important mediators that regulate differentiation and proliferation of immune cells. Both cytokines bind to unique non-signaling ?-receptors (IL-11R and IL-6R, respectively), and the resulting cytokine ...

The inhibitory receptor LILRB4 (ILT3) modulates antigen presenting cell phenotype and, along with LILRB2 (ILT4), is upregulated in response to Salmonella infection. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Leukocyte Ig-like receptors (LILR) are a family of innate immune receptors with immunomodulatory functions. High-level expression of the receptors LILRB2 (ILT4) and LILRB4 (ILT3) is a feature of tolerogenic antigen presenting cells and has ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Regulation of IL-10 production in dendritic cells is controlled by the co-activation of TLR2 and Mincle by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum OLL2712

Microbiology Spectrum
We showed that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum OLL2712 (OLL2712) strongly induces interleukin (IL)-10 production in immune cells. Although beneficial effects of this strain have been observed in both mice and humans, the mechanisms underlying IL-10 ...

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

Identification and functional characterization of a second chain of the interleukin‐10 receptor complex [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 1997
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic cytokine which signals through a specific cell surface receptor complex. Only one chain, that for ligand binding (IL-10Ralpha or IL-10R1), was identified previously. We report here that, although human IL-10 binds to the human IL-10R1 chain expressed in hamster cells, it does not induce signal transduction ...
