Structural Basis of Ligand Selectivity by a Bacterial Adhesin Lectin Involved in Multispecies Biofilm Formation

Corey Alfred Stevens

Carbohydrate recognition by lectins governs critical host-microbe interactions. MpPA14 (Marinomonas primoryensis PA14 domain) lectin is a domain of a 1.5-MDa adhesin responsible for a symbiotic bacterium-diatom interaction in Antarctica. Here, we show that ...

Intraductal xenografts model estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer dormancy and reveal a critical role for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in its establishment

Patrik Aouad

Compared to estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) breast cancer (BC), ER+ BC often manifests with a latent disease that recurs decades after initial diagnosis. The mechanisms governing dormancy and distant recurrence of ER+ tumors remain elusive due to the lack ...

Intraductal xenografts show lobular carcinoma cells rely on their own extracellular matrix and LOXL1

Philipp Bucher, Cathrin Brisken, Giovanna Ambrosini, Georgios Sflomos, Valentina Scabia, Patrik Aouad, Laura Battista, Fabio De Martino, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the most frequent special histological subtype of breast cancer, typically characterized by loss of E‐cadherin. It has clinical features distinct from other estrogen receptor‐positive (ER+) breast cancers but the molecul ...

Asymmetric opening of the homopentameric 5-HT3A serotonin receptor in lipid bilayers

Horst Arthur Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) of the Cys-loop receptor family are key players in fast signal transduction throughout the nervous system. They have been shown to be modulated by the lipid environment, however the underlying mechanism is not ...

Membrane expression of the estrogen receptor ER alpha is required for intercellular communications in the mammary epithelium

Cathrin Brisken, Stéphanie Cagnet

17 beta-Estradiol induces the postnatal development of mammary gland and influences breast carcinogenesis by binding to the estrogen receptor ER alpha. ER alpha acts as a transcription factor but also elicits rapid signaling through a fraction of ER alpha ...

90 YEARS OF PROGESTERONE Progesterone receptor signaling in the normal breast and its implications for cancer

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia

Progesterone is considered as the pregnancy hormone and acts on many different target tissues. Progesterone receptor (PR) signaling is important for normal development and the physiologic function of the breast and impinges on breast carcinogenesis. Both s ...

The Contorsbody, an antibody format for agonism: design, structure, and function

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

The careful design of the antibody architecture is becoming more and more important, especially when the purpose is agonism. We present the design of a novel antibody format that is able to promote receptor dimerization and induce signal transduction resul ...

A One-Step Biofunctionalization Strategy of Electrospun Scaffolds Enables Spatially Selective Presentation of Biological Cues

Silvestro Micera

To recapitulate the heterogeneous complexity of tissues in the human body with synthetic mimics of the extracellular matrix (ECM), it is important to develop methods that can easily allow the selective functionalization of defined spatial domains. Here, a ...

Characterization of circulating breast cancer cells with tumorigenic and metastatic capacity

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos, Laura Battista

Functional studies giving insight into the biology of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) remain scarce due to the low frequency ofCTCs and lack of appropriate models. Here, we describe the characterization of a novelCTC-derived breast cancer cell line, designa ...

Selective 1,2-Aminoisothiocyanation of 1,3-Dienes Under Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Weisi Guo

Selective three-component 1,2-diamination of 1,3-dienes with concurrent introduction of two orthogonally protected amino groups remains unknown despite its significant synthetic potential. We report herein that reaction of conjugated dienes with N-aminopyr ...

The Gene-Regulatory Footprint of Aging Highlights Conserved Central Regulators

Johan Auwerx, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Richardus Houtkooper, Xu Wang, Pooja Jha

Many genes and pathways have been linked to aging, yet our understanding of underlying molecular mechanisms is still lacking. Here, we measure changes in the transcriptome, histone modifications, and DNA methylome in three metabolic tissues of adult and ag ...
