Modeling Human Cardiac Thin Filament Structures

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Striated muscle contraction is regulated in a calcium-dependent manner through dynamic motions of the tropomyosin/troponin polymer, a multicomponent complex wrapped around actin-containing thin filaments.

The Effect of Tropomyosin Mutations on Actin-Tropomyosin Binding: In Search of Lost Time [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2019
The initial binding of tropomyosin onto actin filaments and then its polymerization into continuous cables on the filament surface must be precisely tuned to overall thin-filament structure, function, and performance. Low-affinity interaction of tropomyosin with actin has to be sufficiently strong to localize the tropomyosin on actin, yet not so tight ...

Comparative proteomic profiling reveals molecular characteristics associated with oogenesis and oocyte maturation during ovarian development of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Time-dependent expression of proteins in ovary is important to understand oogenesis in insects. Here, we profiled the proteomes of developing ovaries from Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to obtain information about ovarian development with particular ...

Harnessing the therapeutic potential of bacterial extracellular vesicles via functional peptides

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are increasingly exploited as therapeutic agents or delivery vehicles for disease treatment due to their intrinsic structure, delivery capacity, immunogenic property, facile production, and versatile modification.

Leiomodin creates a leaky cap at the pointed end of actin-thin filaments.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2020
Improper lengths of actin-thin filaments are associated with altered contractile activity and lethal myopathies. Leiomodin, a member of the tropomodulin family of proteins, is critical in thin filament assembly and maintenance; however, its role is under

Amino Acid Changes at Arginine 204 of Troponin I Result in Increased Calcium Sensitivity of Force Development. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Mutations in human cardiac troponin I (cTnI) have been associated with restrictive, dilated, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies. The most commonly occurring residue on cTnI associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is arginine (R), which ...

A comprehensive review on adaptive plasticity and recovery mechanisms post‐acquired brain injury

open access: yesNeuroprotection, EarlyView.
This figure illustrates the dynamic process of neurogenesis following brain injury, focusing on the roles of neural stem and progenitor cells at the injury site. Key mechanisms include axonal sprouting, synaptogenesis, dendritic remodeling, and brain‐derived neurotrophic factor signaling via TrkB receptors.

Comparative two-dimensional gel analysis and microsequencing identifies gelsolin as one of the most prominent downregulated markers of transformed human fibroblast and epithelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
A systematic comparison of the protein synthesis patterns of cultured normal and transformed human fibroblasts and epithelial cells, using two-dimensional gel protein analysis combined with computerized imaging and data acquisition, identified a 90-kD ...

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.
