A Generic Approach for the Purification of Signaling Complexes That Specifically Interact with the Carboxyl-terminal Domain of G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]
International audienceG protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors and are major drug targets. Recent progress has shown that GPCRs are part of large protein complexes that regulate their activity.

Ubiquitin-like Protein Conjugation: Structures, Chemistry, and Mechanism
Ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubl’s) are conjugated to target proteins or lipids to regulate their activity, stability, subcellular localization, or macromolecular interactions.

Combinatorial omics analysis reveals perturbed lysosomal homeostasis in collagen VII-deficient keratinocytes [PDF]
The extracellular matrix protein collagen VII is part of the microenvironment of stratified epithelia and critical in organismal homeostasis. Mutations in the encoding gene COL7A1 lead to the skin disorder dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), are ...

Ubiquitin-mediated regulation of autophagy
Autophagy is a major degradation pathway that utilizes lysosome hydrolases to degrade cellular constituents and is often induced under cellular stress conditions to restore cell homeostasis.

Epigenomic analysis of lung adenocarcinoma reveals novel DNA methylation patterns associated with smoking [PDF]
The importance of epigenetic regulation has been increasingly recognized in the development of cancer. In this study, we investigated the impact of smoking, a major risk factor of lung cancer, on DNA methylation by comparing the genome-wide DNA ...

Crosstalk Between Mammalian Autophagy and the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System
Autophagy and the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) are the two major intracellular quality control and recycling mechanisms that are responsible for cellular homeostasis in eukaryotes.

DNA-methylatie is een epigenetische modificatie. Dit type van modificaties verandert de genetische informatie zelf niet, maar wijzigt de laag erboven. Er worden chemische modificaties toegevoegd of gewijzigd op het DNA of de histonen (waarrond het DNA ...

Detection of ubiquityl-calmodulin conjugates with a novel high-molecular weight ubiquitylprotein-isopeptidase in rabbit tissues [PDF]
The selective degradation of many proteins in eukaryotic cells is carried out by the ubiquitin system. In this pathway, proteins are targeted for degradation by covalent ligation to ubiquitin, a highly conserved protein [1].
