Phenotypic diversity of the recurrent p.Val379Leu missense mutation of the TGM1 gene

Dermatologica Sinica, 2018
Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis type 1 (ARCI1), a clinically heterogeneous group of keratinization disorders, develops due to mutations in the transglutaminase 1 (TGM1) gene.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

A novel aberrant splice site mutation in the APC gene [PDF]

Journal of Medical Genetics, 2002
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited, autosomal dominant syndrome characterised by the presence of multiple (>100) adenomatous polyps in the colon and rectum. These polyps, if left untreated, progress to colorectal cancer (CRC), typically by the age of 40 years.1 Other clinical features include variable age of onset of polyposis (age 10-

The impact of CFNS-causing EFNB1 mutations on ephrin-B1 function

BMC Medical Genetics, 2010
Background Mutations of EFNB1 cause the X-linked malformation syndrome craniofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS). CFNS is characterized by an unusual phenotypic pattern of inheritance, because it affects heterozygous females more severely than hemizygous males ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Elimination of mRNA splicing by a point mutation outside the conserved GU at 5′ splice sites [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 1984
Nearly all mRNA introns begin with the dinucleotide GU. Mutations in either of these virtually invariant bases have been found to inactivate the corresponding 5' splice site. Until now single base changes in neighboring bases have not been found to completely inactivate a 5' splice site.

Functional characterization of the spf/ash splicing variation in OTC deficiency of mice and man. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The spf/ash mouse model of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, a severe urea cycle disorder, is caused by a mutation (c.386G>A; p.R129H) in the last nucleotide of exon 4 of the Otc gene, affecting the 5' splice site and resulting in partial use ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Discerning protein pools by selective staining with self‐labeling tags

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cell surface proteins have an intra‐ and extracellular pool. Combining genetic fusion to self‐labeling tags that can be addressed with small molecule fluorophores allows separating these pools. We highlight recent developments and techniques for state‐of‐the‐art interrogation of cell surface proteins in the complex tissue setting.
