Identification of substrates for human deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs): An up-to-date review and a case study for neurodevelopmental disorders
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Similar to the reversal of kinase-mediated protein phosphorylation by phosphatases, deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) oppose the action of E3 ubiquitin ligases and reverse the ubiquitination of proteins. A total of 99 human ...
Determination of the molecular architecture and the mechanism of self-assembly of Dynamin1 protein machine
(2021-03-26)
La Dinamina1 es una GTPasa implicada en el proceso de fisión de membrana durante la endocitosis. Para ello, la Dinamina1 adopta una estructura helicoidal alrededor de los cuellos de membrana. Utilizando la energía de la ...
Towards a new generation of non-cytotoxic shape memory thermoplastic polyurethanes for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
In recent decades, the technology of polymeric materials used in biomedical applications has been greatly improved, replacing the metals that had been used until now. This change has not only meant an improvement in the ...
SR-B1, a Key Receptor Involved in the Progression of Cardiovascular Disease: A Perspective from Mice and Human Genetic Studies
(MDPI, 2021-05-27)
High plasma level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the main driver of the initiation and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nevertheless, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is considered an anti-atherogenic ...
SUMOylation in the control of cholesterol homeostasis
(The Royal Society, 2020-05)
SUMOylation-protein modification by the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-affects several cellular processes by modulating the activity, stability, interactions or subcellular localization of a variety of substrates. ...
Statin Treatment-Induced Development of Type 2 Diabetes: From Clinical Evidence to Mechanistic Insights
(MDPI, 2020-07-02)
Statins are the gold-standard treatment for the prevention of primary and secondary cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Despite the safety and relative tolerability of statins, ...
Pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
(MDPI, 2020-07-30)
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), one of the most common metabolic disorders, is caused by a combination of two primary factors: defective insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells and the inability of insulin-sensitive tissues ...
A Systematic Approach to Assess the Activity and Classification of PCSK9 Variants
(MDPI, 2021-12-18)
Background: Gain of function (GOF) mutations of PCSK9 cause autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia as they reduce the abundance of LDL receptor (LDLR) more efficiently than wild-type PCSK9. In contrast, PCSK9 ...
Identification of proximal SUMO-dependent interactors using SUMO-ID
(Nature Research, 2021-11-18)
[EN]The fast dynamics and reversibility of posttranslational modifications by the ubiquitin family pose significant challenges for research. Here we present SUMO-ID, a technology that merges proximity biotinylation by ...
