Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Effect of topical immunotherapy with squaric acid dibutylester for alopecia areata in Japanese patients

open access: yesAllergology International, 2020
Background: The Japanese guidelines for the treatment of alopecia areata list topical immunotherapies as a drug therapy for this condition. However, there is insufficient evidence of its efficacy to support this recommendation. Thus, we sought to clarify

Squaric acid mediated bioconjugation expanded to polymers prepared by ATRP

open access: yes, 2014
The squaric acid mediated bioconjugation reaction is an attractive approach for the amine-selective protein modification with side-chain functional polymers.

Heterotropic regulation and negative homotropic cooperativity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We identified a structural module common to some proteins that couple negative cooperativity with heterotropic regulation, two features that rarely coexist. These proteins are ring‐like and present an ordered asymmetry whereby noncontacting subunits are symmetric, and their tertiary structure differs from that of contacting subunits.

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Chiral monoaminoalcohols and diaminoalcohols of squaric acid: new catalysts for the asymmetric reduction of ketones by borane

open access: yes, 2014
Two series of new chiral ligands, squaric acid aminoalcohols and C-2-symmetric squaric acid diaminoalcohols have been synthesized. The chiral oxazaborolidines formed in situ from these ligands have been used in the enantioselective borane reduction of ...

GelMA‐based 3D spheroids recapitulate transcriptomic and functional hallmarks of myeloid sarcoma

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
GelMA 5% hydrogels support the formation of myeloid leukemia spheroids that recapitulate MS‐specific features, including G1 arrest, apoptosis, and ECM‐driven transcriptomic reprogramming. The 3D model mimicked soft‐tissue‐like stiffness and oxygen conditions, and transcriptomic convergence with primary MS samples confirmed its utility as a preclinical ...

OPLS All-Atom Force Field for Squaramides and Squaric Acid

open access: yes
[eng] The OPLS all-atom (AA) force field has been expanded to include squaramides and squaric acid. A complete set of stretching-bending, all-atom torsional and non-bonded parameters has been calculated.

Comparative assessment of crystallographic and cryo‐EM models in the Protein Data Bank

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Raw data obtained by X‐ray crystallography or cryo‐EM result in experimental maps, ultimately fitted by atomic models. Although the physical principles are different, the final results can be viewed, compared, and evaluated in the same way. With cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) on track to surpass X‐ray crystallography as the preferred method ...

Experimental and theoretical study of aromaticity effects in the solid state architecture on squaric acid derivatives

open access: yes
[eng] In this manuscript, the aromaticity of the four-membered ring in squaric acid derivatives and, particularly, how it changes when it participates in noncovalent interactions are studied combining experimental observations and theoretical analysis ...
