Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Fusion to green fluorescent protein improves expression levels of Theileria parva sporozoite surface antigen p67 in insect cells [PDF]

, 2002
East Coast fever (ECF) is a fatal disease of cattle caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria parva. The development of a subunit vaccine, based on the sporozoite-specific surface antigen p67, has been hampered by difficulties in achieving high-level ...

Salmonella enterica serovar typhi limits the potency of typhoid toxin and ADP‐ribosylating toxin AB to establish a persistent infection

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The two catalytic subunits of typhoid toxin dissociate from the holotoxin in the ER of an intoxicated cell, but only CdtB exits the ER to generate immunosuppressive effects. PltA is retained in the ER and sequestered from its cytosolic target, thus allowing the anti‐inflammatory effects of CdtB to promote intestinal colonization.

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.

FcIgG-GE11-Melittin as a novel EGFR targeted peptibody with potent cytotoxic activity against cancer cells

Scientific Reports
The overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in various cancer types makes it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. In this study, we designed a novel peptibody, FcIgG-GE11-Melittin, by fusing Melittin, a cytotoxic peptide ...

Rapid detection of genotoxicity employing an engineered high-sensitivity and tight SOS-response biosensor in Escherichia coli MG1655

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology
Industrial wastewater and pesticide residues contain numerous genotoxic compounds that pose serious health risks by causing DNA damage and potentially triggering carcinogenesis. Conventional analytical methods such as chromatography and mass spectrometry

The C‐terminal domain of yeast Arginyltransferase1 is essential for its catalytic activity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Arginyltransferase 1 (Ate1), a eukaryotic enzyme, catalyses arginylation, transferring arginine from tRNA‐Arg to the amino terminus of the target protein. Overexpression of Ate1 in yeast is lethal and is dependent on arginylation. This study elucidates how mutations in the cofactor‐binding and active site of Ate1 and truncation of its structural ...

Improved methods for production and characterisation of Jembrana disease virus proteins [PDF]

, 2010
Jembrana disease is an acute disease of Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) in Indonesia caused by Jembrana disease virus (JDV), a lentivirus most closely related to Bovine immunodeficiency virus. Control of the disease in Bali cattle, which are important to the
