SUMO conjugation – a mechanistic view

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2017
The regulation of protein fate by modification with the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) plays an essential and crucial role in most cellular pathways.

The ALS‐associated E425K mutation uncouples DNAJC7 from the Hsp70 chaperone cycle

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
DNAJC7 is a J‐domain protein that plays a key role in protein quality control by regulating Hsp70 activity and preventing protein aggregation. We find that the ALS‐associated E425K mutation in DNAJC7 disrupts productive interaction and activation of Hsp70, thereby blocking the transfer and refolding of client proteins such as TDP‐43.

Lock, relax, load, and shoot: a molecular perspective on Nedd4 regulation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Structural basis of inactive and active states of the Nedd4 HECT E3 ligase subfamily, following a ‘lock, relax, load, and shoot’ mechanism. In the locked, autoinhibited state, intramolecular domain interactions restrain the HECT domain. Relaxation releases these restraints, allowing loading of ubiquitin onto the catalytic cysteine, followed by the ...

Bacillus subtilis RNase HII Is Inefficient at Processing Guanosine Monophosphate and Damaged Ribonucleotides

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Bacillus subtilis RNase HII corrects ribonucleotide errors and mismatched ribonucleotides, but not damaged ribonucleotides. Mismatched ribonucleotides would also serve as substrates for mismatch repair while damaged ribonucleotides would be addressed through base excision repair.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Strigolactones Regulate Sugar Allocation to Control Rice Tillering and Root Development via the OsSPL14‐OsSHR1‐OsSWEET16 Pathway

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strigolactones (SLs) are root‐to‐shoot phytohormones that regulate tillering (branching) and root development. Sugar, as an essential energy substance and signalling molecule, plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of plants. However, the molecular mechanisms by which SL directly regulates sugar allocation to control tillering ...
