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 ...
The Binding of Aβ42 Peptide Monomers to Sphingomyelin/Cholesterol/Ganglioside Bilayers Assayed by Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation
(MDPI, 2020-02-29)
The binding of Aβ42 peptide monomers to sphingomyelin/cholesterol (1:1 mol ratio) bilayers containing 5 mol% gangliosides (either GM1, or GT1b, or a mixture of brain gangliosides) has been assayed by density gradient ...
Exploring Polar Headgroup Interactions Between Sphingomyelin and Ceramide with Infrared Spectroscopy
(Nature, 2020-10-19)
Ceramide is a major actor in the sphingolipid signaling pathway elicited by various kinds of cell stress. Under those conditions ceramide (Cer) is produced in the plasma membrane as a product of sphingomyelin (SM) hydrolysis, ...
