Activation of the DnaK-ClpB Complex is Regulated by the Properties of the Bound Substrate
(Nature Publishing, 2018-04-11)
The chaperone ClpB in bacteria is responsible for the reactivation of aggregated proteins in collaboration with the DnaK system. Association of these chaperones at the aggregate surface stimulates ATP hydrolysis, which ...
Identification of Androgen Receptor Metabolic Correlome Reveals the Repression of Ceramide Kinase by Androgens
(MDPI, 2021-08-26)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancers in men. Androgen receptor signaling plays a major role in this disease, and androgen deprivation therapy is a common therapeutic strategy in recurrent disease. ...
Integrative Analysis of Transcriptomics and Clinical Data Uncovers the Tumor- Suppressive Activity of MITF in Prostate Cancer
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-10-11)
The dysregulation of gene expression is an enabling hallmark of cancer. Computational analysis of transcriptomics data from human cancer specimens, complemented with exhaustive clinical annotation, provides an opportunity ...
Apaf-1 Inhibitors Protect from Unwanted Cell Death in In Vivo Models of Kidney Ischemia and Chemotherapy Induced Ototoxicity
(Public Library Science, 2014-10-20)
Background: Excessive apoptosis induces unwanted cell death and promotes pathological conditions. Drug discovery efforts aimed at decreasing apoptotic damage initially targeted the inhibition of effector caspases. Although ...
Quantification of Biomarker Functionality Predicts Patient Outcomes
(Springer Nature, 2021-05-11)
Implementation of a quantitative molecular imaging method (iFRET), which determines receptor–ligand interactions, has led to the finding that patients with a low extent of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction in metastatic NSCLC, and ...
Immunogenomics of Colorectal Cancer Response to Checkpoint Blockade: Analysis of the KEYNOTE 177 Trial and Validation Cohorts
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Colorectal cancer (CRC) shows variable response to immune checkpoint blockade, which can only partially be explained by high tumor mutational burden (TMB). We conducted an integrated study of the cancer ...
In Vitro Cellular Uptake Studies of Self-Assembled Fluorinated Nanoparticles Labelled with Antibodies
(MDPI, 2021-07-24)
Nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with antibodies (Abs) on their surface are used in a wide range of bioapplications. Whereas the attachment of antibodies to single NPs to trigger the internalization in cells via ...
Molecular ruler mechanism and interfacial catalysis of the integral membrane acyltransferase PatA
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-10)
[EN]Glycolipids are prominent components of bacterial membranes that play critical roles not only in maintaining the structural integrity of the cell but also in modulating host-pathogen interactions. PatA is an essential ...
FORTIS: a Live-Cell Assay to Monitor AMPA Receptors Using pH-Sensitive Fluorescence Tags
(Nature, 2021-05-27)
The real-time live fluorescent monitoring of surface AMPA receptors (AMPARs) could open new opportunities for drug
discovery and phenotypic screening concerning neuropsychiatric disorders. We have developed FORTIS, a tool ...
Fluorine Labeling of Nanoparticles and In Vivo 19F Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(American Chemical Society, 2021-03-24)
Fluorinated nanoparticles have increasing applications, but they are still challenging to prepare, especially in the case of water-soluble fluorinated nanoparticles. Herein, a fluorine labeling strategy is presented that ...
