Structural and binding properties of two paralogous fatty acid binding proteins of Taenia solium metacestode.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
BackgroundFatty acid (FA) binding proteins (FABPs) of helminths are implicated in acquisition and utilization of host-derived hydrophobic substances, as well as in signaling and cellular interactions. We previously demonstrated that secretory hydrophobic

Loss of Retinol-Binding Properties for Plasma Retinol-Binding Protein in Normal Human Epidermis

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1987
Terminal differentiation of the keratinocytes (cornification) has been linked to a restricted supply of retinol. Retinol is distributed to target cells by the retinol-binding protein (RBP), which circulates in the plasma in complex with transthyretin (TTR).

Retinol and vitamin A metabolites accumulate through RBP4 and STRA6 changes in a psoriasis murine model

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2020
Background Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that features the abnormal proliferation of keratinocytes. This proliferation could partly result from disturbances in vitamin A metabolism. Changes in psoriasis patients of the levels of

Aging Is a Key Driver for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a classical age‐related hematologic malignancy, and a key driver of AML is aging, which profoundly regulates intrinsic factors such as genomic instability, epigenetic reprogramming, and metabolic dysregulation, and alters bone marrow microenvironment.

Expression Profiles of Cellular Retinol-binding Protein, Type II (CRBP II) in Erlang Mountainous Chickens [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2014
Cellular retinol-binding protein II (CRBP II) belongs to the family of cellular retinol-binding proteins and plays a major role in absorption, transport, and metabolism of vitamin A.

Chaotropic Surface Arginine Correlates With Protein Corona Formation on Anti‐Fouling Biomaterial Surfaces: A Quantitative Proteomics and Protein Structure Study

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Why do specific proteins accumulate on “non‐fouling” surfaces? Quantitative proteomics and structural analysis reveal surface‐exposed arginine as the key molecular determinant. ABSTRACT The protein corona determines the biocompatibility of medical devices, yet predicting its composition on anti‐fouling surfaces remains challenging.

Comparison of retinol binding protein 1 with cone specific G-protein as putative effector molecules in cryptochrome signalling

Scientific Reports
Vision and magnetoreception in navigating songbirds are strongly connected as recent findings link a light dependent radical-pair mechanism in cryptochrome proteins to signalling pathways in cone photoreceptor cells. A previous yeast-two-hybrid screening

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Characterization of Three Novel Fatty Acid- and Retinoid-Binding Protein Genes (Ha-far-1, Ha-far-2 and Hf-far-1) from the Cereal Cyst Nematodes Heterodera avenae and H. filipjevi. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Heterodera avenae and H. filipjevi are major parasites of wheat, reducing production worldwide. Both are sedentary endoparasitic nematodes, and their development and parasitism depend strongly on nutrients obtained from hosts.
