Liquid-crystalline, liquid-ordered, rippled and gel lipid bilayer phases as observed with nile red fluorescence
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
The basic matrix of cellular membranes consists of a double layer (bilayer) of phospholipids. Semisynthetic lipid bilayers are commonly used in biophysical studies of membranes. According to tem-perature and composition, ...
LC3 subfamily in cardiolipin-mediated mitophagy: a comparison of the LC3A, LC3B and LC3C homologs
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-12)
Externalization of the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) to the outer mitochondrial membrane has been proposed to act as a mitophagy trigger. CL would act as a signal for binding the LC3 macroauto-phagy/autophagy proteins. As ...
Lipid-protein interactions in autophagy: Exploring the role of LC3/GABARAP-family members
(2022-07-19)
La autofagia es una vía de degradación conservada entre los eucariotas caracterizada por la formación de una vesícula de doble membrana (autofagosoma) alrededor de lo que se quiere degradar para su posterior eliminación ...
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, ...
Molecular recognition of a membrane-anchored HIV-1 pan-neutralizing epitope.
(Nature, 2022)
Antibodies against the carboxy-terminal section of the membrane-proximal external region (C-MPER) of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) are considered as nearly pan-neutralizing. Development of vaccines capable of ...
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 ...
Conjugative Coupling Proteins and the Role of Their Domains in Conjugation, Secondary Structure and in vivo Subcellular Location
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-11)
Type IV Coupling Proteins (T4CPs) are essential elements in many type IV secretion systems (T4SSs). The members of this family display sequence, length, and domain architecture heterogeneity, being the conserved ...
Truncation-Driven Lateral Association of α-Synuclein Hinders Amyloid Clearance by the Hsp70-Based Disaggregase
(MDPI, 2021-11-30)
The aggregation of α-synuclein is the hallmark of a collective of neurodegenerative disorders known as synucleinopathies. The tendency to aggregate of this protein, the toxicity of its aggregation intermediates and the ...
Hypersensitivity to Pegylated E.coli asparaginase as first-line treatment in contemporary paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia protocols: a meta-analysis of the Ponte di Legno Toxicity working group
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
[EN] BACKGROUND: Hypersensitivity reactions to asparaginase challenge its use and occur frequently (30-75%) after native Escherichia Coli (E.coli) asparaginase. Comparison of incidence of allergic reactions to pegylated ...
Characteristics of white blood cell count in acute lymphoblastic leukemia: A COST LEGEND phenotype-genotype study
(Wiley, 2022-06)
[EN] Background White blood cell count (WBC) as a measure of extramedullary leukemic cell survival is a well-known prognostic factor in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but its biology, including impact of host genome ...
