Human myelin protein P2: from crystallography to time-lapse membrane imaging and neuropathy-associated variants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Peripheral myelin protein 2 (P2) is a fatty acid-binding protein expressed in vertebrate peripheral nervous system myelin, as well as in human astrocytes. Suggested functions of P2 include membrane stacking and lipid ... -
Human myelin proteolipid protein structure and lipid bilayer stacking
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The myelin sheath is an essential, multilayered membrane structure that insulates axons, enabling the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. The tetraspan myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) is the most abundant protein of ... -
Human NAA30 can rescue yeast mak3∆ mutant growth phenotypes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)N-terminal acetylation is an irreversible protein modification that primarily occurs co-translationally, and is catalyzed by a highly conserved family of N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs). The NatC complex (NAA30–NAA35–NAA38) ... -
Human organotypic airway and lung organoid cells of bronchiolar and alveolar differentiation are permissive to infection by influenza and SARS-CoV-2 respiratory virus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to the initiation of unprecedented research efforts to understand the pathogenesis mediated by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). ... -
