A new ratio-metric pH probe, "ThiAKS Green" for live-cell pH measurements
(Springer, 2023)
Deviation of the H+ concentration from optimum values within the organelles is closely associated with irregular cellular functions that cause the onset of various diseases. Therefore, determining subcellular pH values in ...
In silico analysis of a highly mutated gene in cancer provides insight into abnormal mRNA splicing: Splicing factor 3B subunit 1k700e mutant
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. The etiology of the disease has remained elusive, but mutations causing aberrant RNA splicing have been considered one of the significant factors in various cancer ...
Understanding the differential selectivity of arrestins toward the phosphorylation state of the receptor
(American Chemical Society, 2016)
Proteins in the arrestin family exhibit a conserved structural fold that nevertheless allows for significant differences in their selectivity for G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their phosphorylation states. To ...
Linker residues regulate the activity and stability of hexokinase 2, a promising anticancer target
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Inc., 2021)
Hexokinase (HK) catalyzes the first step in glucose metabolism, making it an exciting target for the inhibition of tumor initiation and progression due to their elevated glucose metabolism. The upregulation of hexokinase-2 ...
Mechanistic insight into the impact of a bivalent ligand on the structure and dynamics of a GPCR oligomer
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
Development of effective bivalent ligands has become the focus of intensive research toward modulation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) oligomers, particularly in the field of GPCR pharmacology. Experimental studies ...
A GIPC1-palmitate switch modulates dopamine drd3 receptor trafficking and signaling
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2016)
Palmitoylation is involved in several neuropsychiatric and movement disorders for which a dysfunctional signaling of the dopamine D3 receptor (Drd3) is hypothesized. Computational modeling of Drd3's homologue, Drd2, has ...
Catalytically competent non-transforming H-RASG12P mutant provides insight into molecular switch function and GAP-independent GTPase activity of RAS
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
RAS mutants have been extensively studied as they are associated with development of cancer; however, H-RASG12P mutant has remained untouched since it does not lead to transformation in the cell. To the best of our knowledge, ...
Mechanistic insight into impact of phosphorylation on the enzymatic steps of farnesyltransferase
(Wiley, 2022)
Farnesyltransferase (FTase) is a heterodimeric enzyme, which catalyzes covalent attachment of the farnesyl group to target proteins, thus coordinating their trafficking in the cell. FTase has been demonstrated to be highly ...
Dimethyl sulfoxide reduces the stability but enhances catalytic activity of the main SARS-CoV-2 protease 3CLpro
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2021)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), one of the most challenging global pandemics of the modern era. Potential treatment strategies against ...
FbpA iron storage and release are governed by periplasmic microenvironments
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
Ferric binding protein (FbpA) is part of an elaborate iron piracy mechanism evolved in Gram-negative bacteria, shuttling iron in the periplasmic space, from the outer to the cytoplasmic membrane side. We address how the ...
