• Structure of the ALS Mutation Target Annexin A11 Reveals a Stabilising N-Terminal Segment 

      Lillebostad, Peder August Gudmundsen; Raasakka, Arne; Hjellbrekke, Silje Johannessen; Patil, Sudarshan; Røstbø, Trude Kvalnes; Hollås, Hanne; Sakya, Siri; Szigetvari, Peter Daniel; Vedeler, Anni; Kursula, Petri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The functions of the annexin family of proteins involve binding to Ca2+, lipid membranes, other proteins, and RNA, and the annexins share a common folded core structure at the C terminus. Annexin A11 (AnxA11) has a long ...
    • Structure of the Complete Dimeric Human GDAP1 Core Domain Provides Insights into Ligand Binding and Clustering of Disease Mutations 

      Nguyen, Giang Thi Tuyet; Sutinen, Aleksi; Raasakka, Arne; Muruganandam, Gopinath; Loris, Remy; Kursula, Petri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders. Despite the common involvement of ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (GDAP1) in CMT, the protein structure ...
    • Structure of the mouse acidic amino acid decarboxylase GADL1 

      Raasakka, Arne; Mahootchi, Elaheh; Winge, Ingeborg; Luan, Weisha; Kursula, Petri; Haavik, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is a ubiquitous cofactor in various enzyme classes, including PLP-dependent decarboxylases. A recently discovered member of this class is glutamic acid decarboxylase-like protein 1 (GADL1), ...
    • Structure of transmembrane prolyl 4-hydroxylase reveals unique organization of EF and dioxygenase domains 

      Myllykoski, Matti; Sutinen, Aleksi; Koski, M. Kristian; Kallio, Juha Pekka; Raasakka, Arne; Myllyharju, Johanna; Wierenga, Rik K.; Koivunen, Peppi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4Hs) catalyze post-translational hydroxylation of peptidyl proline residues. In addition to collagen P4Hs and hypoxia-inducible factor P4Hs, a third P4H—the poorly characterized endoplasmic ...
