J-domain protein chaperone circuits in proteostasis and disease

Paolo De Los Rios, Duccio Malinverni

The J-domain proteins (JDP) form the largest protein family among cellular chaperones. In cooperation with the Hsp70 chaperone system, these co-chaperones orchestrate a plethora of distinct functions, including those that help maintain cellular proteostasi ...

Assessment of transferable forcefields for protein simulations attests improved description of disordered states and secondary structure propensities, and hints at multi-protein systems as the next challenge for optimization

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata

Continuous assessment of transferable forcefields for molecular simulations is essential to identify their weaknesses and direct improvement efforts. The latest efforts focused on better describing disordered proteins while retaining proper description of ...

Structural and functional analysis of host attachment proteins from contractile injection systems

Michel Plattner

Bacteriophages of the myoviridae family, R-type pyocin, Photorhabus virulence cassette (PVC), Serratia antifeeding prophage (Afp) and type 6 secretion system (T6SS) form a class of contractile injection systems that share common structural and functional c ...

Construction of a low temperature STM and studies of large molecular systems

Daniel Pablo Rosenblatt

Several aspects in the field of molecular self assembly are addressed in this thesis. Thanks to the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), structural, electronic and magnetic properties on surfaces can be studied down to the size of a single atom. In this t ...

Life cycle assessment of algae biodiesel and its co-products

Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman

There is a need to explore alternative energy sources to meet the future energy demand in a sustainable way. Algae could be a potential feed stock for biodiesel and other co-products such as animal feed and chemicals. Life cycle assessment (LCA) of such pr ...

Recapitulating De Novo Alpha-Synuclein Fibrillization in a Novel Neuronal Model of Parkinson's Disease

Mohamed Bilal Fares

Athough it has been established for over 100 years that Lewy bodies (LBs) represent the major pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD), we still do not know why these fibrillar intra-neuronal inclusions of the α-Synuclein (α-Syn) protein form, and ...

A novel UGGT1 and p97-dependent checkpoint for native ectodomains with ionizable intramembrane residue

Maurizio Molinari

Only native polypeptides are released from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to be transported at the site of activity. Persistently misfolded proteins are retained and eventually selected for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The paradox of a structure-based ...

Impact of breast-feeding and high- and low-protein formula on the metabolism and growth of infants from overweight and obese mothers

BACKGROUND: The combination of maternal obesity in early pregnancy and high protein intake in infant formula feeding might predispose to obesity risk in later life. METHODS: This study assesses the impact of breast- or formula-feeding (differing in protein ...

Microfluidic Ultrafiltration and Acoustophoresis as a Human Breast Milk Optimizing Plateform for Neonatal Nutrition

Blaise Guélat

In recent years, research has highlighted that breast milk with higher concentrations of lipid and protein could benefit to the survival rate and quality of life of preterm infants. However, to date, there is no clinical means available to separate, concen ...

Electrostatic-Consistent Coarse-Grained Potentials for Molecular Simulations of Proteins

Matteo Dal Peraro, Michele Cascella, Matteo Thomas Degiacomi, Enrico Spiga, Davide Alemani

We present a new generation of coarse-grained (CG) potentials that account for a simplified electrostatic description of soluble proteins. The treatment of permanent electrostatic dipoles of the backbone and polar side-chains allows to simulate proteins, p ...

Phage Pierces the Host Cell Membrane with the Iron-Loaded Spike

Petr Leiman, Mikhail Shneyder, Christopher Browning

Bacteriophages with contractile tails and the bacterial type VI secretion system have been proposed to use a special protein to create an opening in the host cell membrane during infection. These proteins have a modular architecture but invariably contain ...
