Zika virus remodelled ER membranes contain proviral factors involved in redox and methylation pathways

Nature Communications, 2023
Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a global health issue, yet neither antiviral therapy nor a vaccine are available. ZIKV is an enveloped RNA virus, replicating in the cytoplasm in close association with ER membranes.

Peptide‐based responsive molecular fluorescent probes for precision oncology

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Peptide‐based responsive fluorescent probes have emerged as adaptive functional materials for precision tumor theranostics, combining tumor‐selective recognition, programmable stimulus responsiveness, and modular tunability. They enable high‐contrast imaging, intraoperative guidance, real‐time monitoring, and multimodal applications, while next ...

Structural basis for target protein recognition by the protein disulfide reductase thioredoxin

, 2006
Thioredoxin is ubiquitous and regulates various target proteins through disulfide bond reduction. We report the structure of thioredoxin (HvTrxh2 from barley) in a reaction intermediate complex with a protein substrate, barley alpha-amylase/subtilisin ...

Compact conformations of human protein disulfide isomerase. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) composed of four thioredoxin-like domains a, b, b', and a', is a key enzyme catalyzing oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum.

ER proteostasis meets mitochondrial function: contact sites as hubs of communication and therapeutic targets

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteostasis ensures proper protein folding, modification, and degradation, while its impairment triggers ER stress. Chronic ER stress and maladaptive UPR via the CHOP–ERO1 axis remodel ERMCs, altering calcium signaling and mitochondrial metabolism.

Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activates various proteostasis control processes, including the unfolded protein response, ribosome‐associated quality control, and ER‐associated degradation. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications dynamically regulate these processes to determine cell fate, promoting adaptation or inducing cell death.

Intra- and inter-protein couplings of backbone motions underlie protein thiol-disulfide exchange cascade

Scientific Reports, 2018
The thioredoxin (Trx)-coupled arsenate reductase (ArsC) is a family of enzymes that catalyzes the reduction of arsenate to arsenite in the arsenic detoxification pathway.

Biochemical and structural characterizations of thioredoxin reductase selenoproteins of the parasitic filarial nematodes Brugia malayi and Onchocerca volvulus

Redox Biology, 2022
Enzymes in the thiol redox systems of microbial pathogens are promising targets for drug development. In this study we characterized the thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) selenoproteins from Brugia malayi and Onchocerca volvulus, filarial nematode parasites ...

Transcriptomic and proteomic signatures underlying nymphal adaptation and foam production in the forage pest Mahanarva spectabilis

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...

Effect of thioredoxin deletion and p53 cysteine replacement on human p53 activity in wild-type and thioredoxin reductase null yeast [PDF]

, 2009
Reporter gene transactivation by human p53 is inhibited in budding yeast lacking the TRR1 gene encoding thioredoxin reductase. To investigate the role of thioredoxin in controlling p53 activity, the level of reporter gene transactivation by p53 was ...
