Expanding the genotypic spectrum of PCSK1 deficiency: A novel mutation in severe neonatal diarrhea
Abstract Among congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) deficiency is a rare monogenic disorder, associated with severe neonatal diarrhea and polyendocrinopathies. We report an 18‐day‐old male neonate, born to consanguineous parents, presenting with persistent watery diarrhea, metabolic ...

ABSTRACT Ischemic stroke is frequently associated with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS), is a leading cause of global disability and mortality. Current guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet and intensive statin therapies. Proprotein convertase subtilisin 9/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have emerged as a potent lipid‐lowering

Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking
ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the

Microbial carcinogenic toxins and dietary anti-cancer protectants [PDF]
Several toxins are known which account for the ability of some bacteria to initiate or promote carcinogenesis. These ideas are summarised and evidence is discussed for more specific mechanisms involving chymotrypsin and the bacterial chymotryptic enzyme ...

Potential of endophytic Beauveria bassiana against Coraebus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) oak borers
This study demonstrates that an endophytic, oak‐associated strain of Beauveria bassiana exhibits adaptations to Quercus plants and potential against Coraebus boring beetles, supported by distinctive biological traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Oak borers in the genus Coraebus, including the bark‐ and the wood‐boring beetles C. florentinus and C. undatus, are

Encounter complexes and dimensionality reduction in protein-protein association [PDF]
An outstanding challenge has been to understand the mechanism whereby proteins associate. We report here the results of exhaustively sampling the conformational space in protein–protein association using a physics-based energy function.
