Structural insights into the ability of nucleoplasmin to assemble and chaperone histone octamers for DNA deposition
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-07-01)
Nucleoplasmin (NP) is a pentameric histone chaperone that regulates the condensation state of chromatin in different cellular processes. We focus here on the interaction of NP with the histone octamer, showing that NP could ...
Integration Through Separation - The Role of Lateral Membrane Segregation in Nutrient Uptake
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06-25)
Nutrient transporters are prominent and ubiquitous components of the plasma membrane in all cell types. Their expression and regulation are tightly linked to the cells' needs. Environmental factors such as nutrient starvation ...
Dynamic constriction andfission of endoplasmicreticulum membranes by reticulon
(Nature, 2019-11-22)
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a continuous cell-wide membrane network. Network formation has been associated with proteins producing membrane curvature and fusion, such as reticulons and atlastin. Regulated network ...
MAGI2 Gene Region and Celiac Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-19)
Celiac disease (CD) patients present a loss of intestinal barrier function due to structural alterations in the tight junction (TJ) network, the most apical unions between epithelial cells. The association of TJ-related ...
SUMOylation regulates LKB1 localization and its oncogenic activity in liver cancer
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
BACKGROUND: Even though liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is usually described as a tumor suppressor in a wide variety of tissues, it has been shown that LKB1 aberrant expression is associated with bad prognosis in Hepatocellular ...
Total and Free Fatty Acids Analysis in Milk and Dairy Fat
(MDPI, 2019-03-05)
Dairy fat is one of the most complex natural fats because of its fatty acid (FA) composition. Ruminant dairy fat contains more than 400 different FA varying in carbon chain length, and degree, position and configuration ...
Potential Benefits and Risks for Soil Health Derived From the Use of Organic Amendments in Agriculture
(MDPI, 2019-09-12)
The use of organic amendments in agriculture is a common practice due to their potential to increase crop productivity and enhance soil health. Indeed, organic amendments of different origin and composition (e.g., animal ...
Mixing brain cerebrosides with brain ceramides, cholesterol and phospholipids
(Nature Publishing, 2019-09-16)
The properties of bilayers composed of pure brain cerebroside (bCrb) or of binary mixtures of bCrb with brain ceramide, cholesterol, egg phosphatidylcholine or brain sphingomyelin have been studied using a combination of ...
The Complex Phosphorylation Patterns That Regulate the Activity of Hsp70 and Its Cochaperones
(MDPI, 2019-08-23)
Proteins must fold into their native structure and maintain it during their lifespan to display the desired activity. To ensure proper folding and stability, and avoid generation of misfolded conformations that can be ...
Interactome of the Autoimmune Risk Protein ANKRD55
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-18)
The ankyrin repeat domain-55 (ANKRD55) gene contains intronic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with risk to contract multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune disorders. Risk alleles of ...
