Antigen‐Detected NMR for Minimal Epitope Engineering and Structure‐Guided Selection of a NaV1.7‐Selective Nanobody

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A minimal extracellular epitope from voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.7 was engineered into an isotope‐labelled antigen for antigen‐detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Together with AlphaFold2 (AF2), this enabled structure‐guided selection of R4C8, a human NaV1.7‐selective nanobody that labels fixed NaV1.7‐expressing cells and produces staining

On X-ray Sensitivity in Xenopus Embryogenesis

microPublication Biology
We examined the effects of X-ray irradiation on Xenopus laevis, focusing on pre- and post-fertilization exposure. We applied X-ray doses of 10, 50, 100, 250, and 500 Gy.

Functional limb muscle innervation prior to cholinergic transmitter specification during early metamorphosis in Xenopus

eLife, 2018
In vertebrates, functional motoneurons are defined as differentiated neurons that are connected to a central premotor network and activate peripheral muscle using acetylcholine.

Palmitoyl Acyltransferase Zdhhc17 Promotes Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury by Targeting the Nuclear Transport Factors Kpna2 and Ipo9

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we demonstrate that Zdhhc17, acting as a PAT, suppresses neuronal apoptosis and promotes axon regeneration after injury, thereby enhancing functional recovery following SCI. In this context, Kpna2 and Ipo9 serve as novel palmitoylation substrates of Zdhhc17, whose palmitoylation prevents the injury‐induced degradation of their proteins ...

Fluoxetine exposure alters behavior and morphology of Xenopus laevis tadpoles

microPublication Biology
This study exposed developing Xenopus tadpoles to the common antidepressant fluoxetine (FLU). Behaviorally, stage 46 control (0 nM) tadpoles significantly preferred white over black backgrounds, a potential anti-predation behavior, while tadpoles reared ...

Use of Clotrimazole in Finfish Aquaculture: Mechanistic Insights, Limitations, and Future Directions for Antifungal Therapy

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This review critically evaluates clotrimazole as a potential antifungal for finfish aquaculture, highlighting strong mechanistic and in vitro efficacy against aquatic mycoses alongside major gaps in in vivo evidence, toxicokinetics, residue safety, and environmental risk, outlining priorities for responsible therapeutic development and regulatory ...

Use of monoclonal antibodies to study alloreactivity and T cell development in Xenopus [PDF]

, 1993
This study investigated T-cell surface antigenic changes in the spleen of Xenopus following in vivo and in vitro allergenic challenge, using novel mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb's) against all T cells (CDS), the putative ɑβ-T cell receptor (TCR), the ...

Heat-shock mediated overexpression of HNF1β mutations has differential effects on gene expression in the Xenopus pronephric kidney. [PDF]

, 2012
The transcription factor HNF1B, encoded by the TCF2 gene, plays an important role in the organogenesis of vertebrates. In humans, heterozygous mutations of HNF1B are associated with several diseases, such as pancreatic β-cell dysfunction leading to ...

Reversible Thiol Oxidation Inhibits the Mitochondrial ATP Synthase in Xenopus Laevis Oocytes

Antioxidants, 2020
Oocytes are postulated to repress the proton pumps (e.g., complex IV) and ATP synthase to safeguard mitochondrial DNA homoplasmy by curtailing superoxide production. Whether the ATP synthase is inhibited is, however, unknown.
