The role of SUMOylation during development
(Portland Press, 2020-04)
During the development of multicellular organisms, transcriptional regulation plays an important role in the control of cell growth, differentiation and morphogenesis. SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational process ...
Mutation type classification and pathogenicity assignment of sixteen missense variants located in the EGF-precursor homology domain of the LDLR
(Nature, 2020-02-03)
The primary genetic cause of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is related to mutations in the LDLR gene encoding the Low-density Lipoprotein Receptor. LDLR structure is organized in 5 different domains, including an ...
Biomolecular Characterization of PCNA interacting proteins.
(2020-07-27)
PCNA (Proliferating Cellular Nuclear Antigen) es la abrazadera que es desliza sobre el ADN necesaria para la replicación del ADN y la respuesta al daño. PCNA interactúa con numerosas proteínas a través de una secuencia ...
Cholesterol Efflux Efficiency of Reconstituted HDL Is Affected by Nanoparticle Lipid Composition
(MDPI, 2020-09-23)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of mortality worldwide is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, which is promoted by the accumulation of low-density lipoproteins into the intima of large arteries. Multiple ...
BIRC6 Is Associated with Vulnerability of Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque
(MDPI, 2020-12-09)
Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture can lead to cerebrovascular accident (CVA). By comparing RNA-Seq data from vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) extracted from carotid atheroma surgically excised from a group of ...
The T1D-associated lncRNA Lnc13 modulates human pancreatic β cell inflammation by allele-specific stabilization of STAT1 mRNA
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-03-05)
The vast majority of type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic association signals lie in non-coding regions of the human genome. Many have been predicted to affect the expression and secondary structure of long non-coding RNAs ...
Mechanism for ESCPE-1 mediated membrane remodelling and cargo selection in endosomal
(2020-10-02)
El reciclaje de proteínas es fundamental para mantener la homeostasis celular. Este trabajo se enfoca en el reciclaje de proteínas que llegan a los endosomas. Allí, las proteínas transmembrana (receptores) son recicladas ...
C24:0 and C24:1 sphingolipids in cholesterol-containing, five- and six-component lipid membranes
(Nature, 2020-08-24)
The biophysical properties of sphingolipids containing lignoceric (C24:0) or nervonic (C24:1) fatty acyl residues have been studied in multicomponent lipid bilayers containing cholesterol (Chol), by means of confocal ...
Patches and Blebs: A Comparative Study of the Composition and Biophysical Properties of Two Plasma Membrane Preparations from CHO Cells
(MDPI, 2020-04-10)
This study was aimed at preparing and characterizing plasma membranes (PM) from Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Two methods of PM preparation were applied, one based on adhering cells to a poly-lysine-coated surface, ...
Nucleophosmin interaction with APE1: Insights into DNA repair regulation
(Elsevier, 2020-01-30)
[EN] Nucleophosmin (NPM1), an abundant, nucleolar protein with multiple functions affecting cell homeostasis, has also been recently involved in DNA damage repair. The roles of NPM1 in different repair pathways remain ...
