Amino acids modulate liquid-liquid phase separation in vitro and in vivo by regulating protein-protein interactions

Francesco Stellacci, Laura Roset Julia, Xufeng Xu

Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by PNAS.Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an intracellular process widely used by cells for many key biological functions. It occurs in complex and crowded environments, where amino acids (AAs) are vital com ...

Preclinical spheroid models identify BMX as a therapeutic target for metastatic MYCN nonamplified neuroblastoma

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

The development of targeted therapies offers new hope for patients affected by incurable cancer. However, multiple challenges persist, notably in controlling tumor cell plasticity in patients with refractory and metastatic illness. Neuroblastoma (NB) is an ...

HaloTag-Based Tools for Live-Cell Imaging and Elucidation of Organellar Redox Biology

Sarah Emmert

Redox homeostasis is a key factor in maintaining cellular function and health. The main determinant of the intracellular redox potential is ubiquitous glutathione (GSH) together with its oxidized dimer (GSSG). Importantly, both redox equilibrium and GSH ho ...

Screening for drivers of SARS-CoV-2 uptake

Christoph Merten, Alexis Louis Autour

Genetic and cellular drivers of the cellular uptake of SARS-CoV-2 can be screened at high throughput via droplet microfluidics and size-exclusion methods for the analysis of the formation of fusions between cells expressing the virus's spike protein and ce ...

Statistical potentials from the Gaussian scaling behaviour of chain fragments buried within protein globules

Stefano Zamuner

Knowledge-based approaches use the statistics collected from protein data-bank structures to estimate effective interaction potentials between amino acid pairs. Empirical relations are typically employed that are based on the crucial choice of a reference ...

Method and system for determining intracellular mediators' activity

Horst Arthur Vogel, Philippe Renaud, Thamani Dahoun, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, Marc Brugarolas Campillos

A method for determining the presence of a molecule coupled to the cytoplasmic side of a cellular membrane is disclosed. The method is implemented in a microfluidic setting and is particularly suitable for determining the presence and/or the activity of a ...

Genetic spectrum of retinal dystrophies in Tunisia

Daniel Francis Schorderet

We report the molecular basis of the largest Tunisian cohort with inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) reported to date, identify disease-causing pathogenic variants and describe genotype-phenotype correlations. A subset of 26 families from a cohort of 73 f ...

The nuclear receptor corepressor NCoR1 regulates hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis in vivo

Johan Auwerx, Wei Zhang, Lulu Liu

Enhanced understanding of normal and malignant hematopoiesis pathways should facilitate the development of effective clinical treatment strategies for hematopoietic malignancies. Nuclear receptor corepressor 1 (NCoR1) has been implicated in transcriptional ...

Computational design of environmental sensors for the potent opioid fentanyl

Kai Johnsson, Luc Reymond

We describe the computational design of proteins that bind the potent analgesic fentanyl. Our approach employs a fast docking algorithm to find shape complementary ligand placement in protein scaffolds, followed by design of the surrounding residues to opt ...

Characterization and Validation of Fluorescent Receptor Ligands: A Case Study of the Ionotropic Serotonin Receptor

Rudolf Hovius

The application of fluorescent receptor ligands has become widespread, incited by two important reasons. “Seeing is believing”—it is possible to visualize in real time in live cells ligand–receptor interactions, and to locate the receptors with subcellular ...
