Alternative dimerization is required for activity and inhibition of the HEPN ribonuclease RnlA

Gabriela Garcia Rodriguez

The rnlAB toxin-antitoxin operon from Escherichia co/ifunctions as an anti-phage defense system. RnlA was identified as a member of the HEPN (Higher Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes Nucleotide-binding domain) superfamily of ribonucleases. The activity of the tox ...

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome

Julie Deuquet Ariosa

Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome (HFS) is a rare inherited disease that is characterized by an accumulation of an unidentified hyaline material, largely affecting connective tissues. Patients afflicted with HFS present a wide range of clinical symptoms such a ...

The heparin binding domain of von Willebrand factor binds to growth factors and promotes angiogenesis in wound healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Matthias Lütolf, Yoji Tabata

During wound healing, the distribution, availability, and signaling of growth factors (GFs) are orchestrated by their binding to extracellular matrix components in the wound microenvironment. Extracellular matrix proteins have been shown to modulate angiog ...

The Molecular Mechanism of P2Y 1 Receptor Activation

Horst Arthur Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

Human purinergic Gprotein-coupled receptor P2Y(1) (P2Y(1)R) is activated by adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) to induce platelet activation and thereby serves as an important antithrombotic drug target. Crystal structures of P2Y(1)R revealed that one ligand ( ...
