α-catenin switches between a slip and an asymmetric catch bond with F-actin to cooperatively regulate cell junction fluidity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
By using laser tweezers, the authors show that a single α-catenin molecule does not resist force on F-actin. However, clustering of multiple molecules and force applied toward F-actin pointed end engage a molecular switch in α-catenin, which unfolds and ...

NMR characterization of foldedness for the production of E3 RING domains

open access: yes, 2010
We summarize the use of NMR spectroscopy in the production and the screening of stability and foldedness of protein domains, and apply it to the RING domains of E3 ubiquitin-ligases.

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...

New approach to generalized two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy. 1: Combination of principal component analysis and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2014
The direct combination of chemometrics and two-dimensional (2D) correlation spectroscopy is considered. The use of a reconstructed data matrix based on the significant scores and loading vectors obtained from the principal component analysis (PCA) of raw

Loss of IGF‐1R impairs DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin leading to defective end‐joining

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
IGF‐1R promotes radioresistance by facilitating DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin, enabling non‐homologous end‐joining (NHEJ) repair of double‐strand breaks. Inhibition or loss of IGF‐1R disrupts this recruitment to damage sites, driving compensatory reliance on microhomology‐mediated end‐joining (MMEJ) repair.

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Selective Membrane Transport Systems studied by Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2009
Membranes border cells from their environment. Thus, they belong to the basic prerequisites for life as we know it. Within cells, membranes are used to establish compartments dedicated to specific tasks such as providing local proximity of components ...

The Study of Oil Film Thickness Measurement on Water Surface Based on Laser Raman Spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2018
In order to realize the fast and non-contact detection of oil film thickness on water surface, a system based on laser Raman spectroscopy technologywas introduced in this paper. The 532 nm laser was used as the exciting source, and the result shows there

Oncogenic DMTF1β promotes cancer cell motility by regulating autophagy through ULK1 stabilization

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the current study, we demonstrate that the oncogene DMTF1β regulates ULK1 stability by reducing its proteasomal degradation in cancer cells. This stabilization enables ULK1 to induce autophagy, which in turn facilitates cancer cell migration. Consequently, reduced DMTF1β levels lead to decreased autophagy and impaired cancer cell migration.

Electron-nuclear correlated multiphoton-route to Rydberg fragments of molecules

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Rydberg atoms can be created from photoexcitation of molecules using intense ultrafast laser pulses. Here the authors use a coincidence detection of electrons, ion and excited Rydberg atoms and their energy sharing to reveal the general mechanism of ...
