An unfolded protein-induced conformational switch activates mammalian IRE1. [PDF]
The unfolded protein response (UPR) adjusts the cell's protein folding capacity in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) according to need. IRE1 is the most conserved UPR sensor in eukaryotic cells.

Millisecond single-molecule localization microscopy combined with convolution analysis and automated image segmentation to determine protein concentrations in complexly structured, functional cells, one cell at a time [PDF]
We present a single-molecule tool called the CoPro (Concentration of Proteins) method that uses millisecond imaging with convolution analysis, automated image segmentation and super-resolution localization microscopy to generate robust estimates for ...

Specific Targeting of Lymphoma Cells Using Semisynthetic Anti-Idiotype Shark Antibodies
The B-cell receptor (BCR) is a key player of the adaptive immune system. It is a unique part of immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules expressed on the surface of B cells. In case of many B-cell lymphomas, the tumor cells express a tumor-specific and functionally

Engineered ipilimumab variants that bind human and mouse CTLA-4
Testing of candidate monoclonal antibody therapeutics in preclinical models is an essential step in drug development. Identification of antibody therapeutic candidates that bind their human targets and cross-react to mouse orthologs is often challenging,

AlphaBind, a domain-specific model to predict and optimize antibody–antigen binding affinity
Antibodies are versatile therapeutic molecules that use combinatorial sequence diversity to cover a vast fitness landscape. Designing optimal antibody sequences, however, remains a major challenge.

The replacement histone H2A.Z in a hyperacetylated form is a feature of active genes in the chicken [PDF]
The replacement histone H2A.Z is variously reported as being linked to gene expression and preventing the spread of heterochromatin in yeast, or concentrated at heterochromatin in mammals.
