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 ...
Membrane Permeabilization by Pore-Forming RTX Toxins: What Kind of Lesions Do These Toxins Form?
(MDPI, 2019-06-18)
Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) form nanoscale pores across target membranes causing cell death. The pore-forming cytolysins of the RTX (repeats in toxin) family belong to a steadily increasing family of proteins characterized ...
Structure-function relationships of tumor suppresor ING5
(2017-07-04)
La familia ING (INhibitor of Growth) de supresores tumorales está formada por cinco proteínas homólogas que regulan el estado transcripcional de la cromatina por medio del reclutamiento de complejos remodeladores de cromatina ...
A case for the importance of following antibiotic resistant bacteria throughout the soil food web
(Wiley, 2023-12)
It is necessary to complement next-generation sequencing data on the soil resistome with theoretical knowledge provided by ecological studies regarding the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in the abiotic and, ...
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 ...
Molecular basis of catalytic and allosteric mechanisms of ser33, a type ii phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase involved in de novo l-serine synthesis in budding yeast.
(2023-10-05)
La serina puede sintetizarse a través de una vía conservada, comenzando por el intermediario glucolítico 3-fosfoglicerato (PGA). Este último es oxidado por la primera enzima de esta vía, la 3-fosfoglicerato deshidrogenasa ...
Pathophysiology of Atherosclerosis
(MDPI, 2022-03-20)
Atherosclerosis is the main risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Atherosclerosis is initiated by endothelium activation and, followed by a cascade of events ...
Genomic Multiple Sclerosis Risk Variants Modulate the Expression of the ANKRD55-IL6ST Gene Region in Immature Dendritic Cells
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[EN] Intronic single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ANKRD55 gene are associated with the risk for multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The risk alleles have ...
Exome sequencing in multiple sclerosis families identifies 12 candidate genes and nominates biological pathways for the genesis of disease
(Public Library Science 15(6) : (2019) // Article ID e1008180, 2019-06-06)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by myelin loss and neuronal dysfunction. Although the majority of patients do not present familial aggregation, Mendelian forms ...
