(r)HDL in Theranostics: How Do We Apply HDL's Biology for Precision Medicine in Atherosclerosis Management?
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2021-03-19)
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are key players in cholesterol metabolism homeostasis since they are responsible for transporting excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver. Imbalance in this process, due to ...
Regulación de la actividad chaperona de HSC70 humana por APG2: papel de los dominios divergentes.
(2021-07-29)
La reactivación de agregados proteicos en metazoos se logra mediante la actividad combinada de chaperonas de las familias Hsp70, Hsp40 y Hsp110. Apg2 humana estimula la reactivación de agregados ordenados y desordenados ...

Cholesterol stimulates the lytic activity of Adenylate Cyclase Toxin on lipid membranes by promoting toxin oligomerization and formation of pores with a greater effective size
(Wiley, 2021-12)
Several toxins acting on animal cells present different, but specific, interactions with cholesterol. Bordetella pertussis infects the human respiratory tract and causes whooping cough, a highly contagious and resurgent ...
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 ...
Functional Delineation of a Protein–Membrane Interaction Hotspot Site on the HIV-1 Neutralizing Antibody 10E8
(MDPI, 2022-09-15)
Antibody engagement with the membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) of HIV-1 constitutes a distinctive molecular recognition phenomenon, the full appreciation of which is crucial for ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
