High-Affinity Nanobody Against the LEDGF PWWP Domain Inhibits Chromatin Binding In Vitro

Biomolecules
Background and objectives: The PWWP domain of lens epithelium-derived growth factor p75 (LEDGF/p75) mediates chromatin engagement through recognition of histone H3 lysine 36 di- and trimethylation (H3K36me2/3) and nucleosomal DNA.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Advancements in the application of reporter gene cell lines in bioactivity evaluation of biological products

Bioresources and Bioprocessing
The assessment of biological product activity is a key aspect of quality control. Currently, in vitro assays serve as the primarily method employed by both companies and regulatory agencies to evaluate biological activity.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

High-concentration L-methionine as a potent antioxidant for oxidation resistance and stability enhancement in high-concentration antibody therapeutics

International Journal of Pharmaceutics: X
The development of high-concentration monoclonal antibody (mAb) formulations for subcutaneous administration is faces critical stability challenges, particularly oxidation and aggregation, which compromise efficacy and safety.

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.

The Circular Life of Human CD38: From Basic Science to Clinics and Back

Molecules, 2020
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were initially considered as a possible “magic bullet” for in vivo elimination of tumor cells. mAbs represented the first step: however, as they were murine in nature (the earliest experience on the field), they were ...
