Open DOI
Functional role of the second messengers PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 and PtdIns(3,4)P 2 in carcinogenesis
PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 and PtdIns(3,4)P 2 are second messengers and key regulators of tumorigenesis. Their production and degradation are spatiotemporally regulated by a network of phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases which is frequently ...

Structural basis of serine protease inhibition by antibodies from biased Fab phage-display libraries
Biased Fab phage-display libraries were designed to determine whether inhibitory CDR H3 motifs from potent anti-matriptase antibodies could be transferred to target homologous serine proteases. Using reverse-binding and substrate-like H3...

Trends in optimizing antibacterial cationic amphiphiles
Cationic amphiphiles are investigated as antibacterials, yet their potential is often limited by host-cell toxicity. Bacterial and mammalian membranes share core physicochemical features that promote interactions with cationic amphiphile...

Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1/p62) at the nexus of genome integrity maintenance, proteostasis regulation and organellar homeostasis
Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1 or p62) is a multi-domain protein that functions as a scaffold for aggregating proteins into cytoplasmic inclusions and mediating their turnover via selective autophagy. However, p62 is more than an autophagy scaff...

Phytochemical characterization, thermal stability, antimutagenic, antifungal and antibacterial potential of O. sanctum against sewage water borne antibiotic-resistant bacteria
This study evaluated the phytochemical composition, antioxidant, antimutagenic, antifungal and antibacterial activities of O. sanctum leaf extracts, with particular focus on sewage water-borne antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Methanolic, e...

ACOD1-dependent succinate signalling acts as a metabolic checkpoint for osteoclast differentiation
Immune cells undergo metabolic reprogramming in response to inflammatory stimuli. The immuneresponsive gene 1 ( Irg1 ) encodes aconitate decarboxylase (ACOD1), which generates itaconate from cis -aconitate in the TCA cycle. Itaconate inh...

Structural biology of retron-mediated immunity against phage
Retrons recently emerged as widespread anti-phage systems in which a dedicated reverse transcriptase (RT) produces multicopy single-stranded DNA (msDNA) that regulates associated effector proteins. Once regarded as peculiar retroelements...

Cytosolic Fe/S protein biogenesis: a crossroads of Fe/S cluster machineries
Iron–sulfur (Fe/S) clusters are essential inorganic cofactors required for nearly all organisms. These cofactors do not spontaneously form in cells or on proteins; they require at least one of six dedicated Fe/S protein biogenesis pathwa...

The prokaryotic lipid divide: how strict is it?
A long-lasting dogma regarding the membranes of prokaryotes is the distinct lipid composition of archaea and bacteria. Bacterial phospholipids consist of acyl chains that are esterified to a glycerol-3-phosphate lipid backbone. Instead, ...

Structural basis for the procoagulant activity of Staphylococcus aureus staphylocoagulase
Staphylocoagulase (SC), a crucial virulence protein secreted by several strains of the major pathogen Staphylococcus aureus , functions as a potent inducer of blood clotting. SC binds its zymogen target, prothrombin (ProT) with subnanomo...
