Identificación of ERBB4 and SOX1 role in central nervous system tumors. Implication in medulloblastoma and glioblastoma.
(2020-12-16)
Los tumores cerebrales, como el glioblastoma (GBM) en adultos y el meduloblastoma (MB) en niños, representan uno de los retos más importantes de la medicina actual, ya que resisten a las terapias disponibles, recurren y ...
Structural Characterization of the ICOS/ICOS-L Immune Complex Reveals High Molecular Mimicry by Therapeutic Antibodies
(Nature, 2020-10-08)
The inducible co-stimulator (ICOS) is a member of the CD28/B7 superfamily, and delivers a positive co-stimulatory signal to activated T cells upon binding to its ligand (ICOS-L). Dysregulation of this pathway has been ...
Characterization of the biological and molecular activity of PML in breast cancer
(2020-11-23)
Oncogene addiction postulates that the survival and growth of certain tumor cells is dependent upon the activity of one oncogene, despite their multiple genetic and epigenetic abnormalities. This phenomenon provides a ...
Unveiling the activation dynamics of a fold-switch bacterial glycosyltransferase by 19F NMR
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020-07-17)
Fold-switch pathways remodel the secondary structure topology of proteins in response to the cellular environment. It is a major challenge to understand the dynamics of these folding processes. Here, we conducted an in-depth ...
Microfluidic chip with pillar arrays for controlled production and observation of lipid membrane nanotubes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-08-07)
Lipid membrane nanotubes (NTs) are a widespread template forin vitrostudies of cellular processes happening at high membrane curvature. Traditionally NTs are manufactured one by one, using sophisticated membrane ...
Implication of ceramide 1-phosphate in obesity-associated processes. Role of PEMT
(2016-01-22)
Obesity is the most common metabolic disease in developed nations and has become a global epidemic in recent years. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate obesity-associated processes, such as cell ...
Molecular Techniques for Dicistrovirus Detection without RNA Extraction or Purification
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Dicistroviridae is a new family of small, nonenveloped, and +ssRNA viruses pathogenic to both beneficial arthropods and insect pests as well. Triatoma virus (TrV), a dicistrovirus, is a pathogen of Triatoma infestans ...
Multiscale modelization in a small virus: Mechanism of proton channeling and its role in triggering capsid disassembly
(Public Library Science, 2018-04)
In this work, we assess a previously advanced hypothesis that predicts the existence of ion channels in the capsid of small and non-enveloped icosahedral viruses. With this purpose we examine Triatoma Virus (TrV) as a case ...
Interaction between colicin A pore-forming domain and its cognate immunity protein
(2017-07-14)
La colicina A y en concreto el dominio formador de poros, pfColA es expresado por Escherichia coli y resulta tóxico para cepas relacionadas. Las bacterias productoras de la toxina expresan la proteína de inmunidad Cai que ...
Repurposing ciclopirox as a pharmacological chaperone active against congenital erythropoietic porphyria.
(2018-10-19)
La porfiria eritropoyética congénita es una enfermedad rara autosómica recesiva producida por una actividad deficiente en la uroporfirinógeno III sintasa, la cuarta enzima de la ruta biosintética del grupo hemo. La enfermedad ...
