Crystal and solution structure of NDRG1, a membranebinding protein linked to myelination and tumour suppression
Mustonen, Venla; Muruganandam, Gopinath; Loris, Remy; Kursula, Petri; Ruskamo, Salla (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is a tumour suppressor involved in vesicular trafficking and stress response. NDRG1 participates in peripheral nerve myelination, and mutations in the NDRG1 gene lead to ... -
High-affinity anti-Arc nanobodies provide tools for structural and functional studies
Markusson, Sigurbjörn; Hallin, Erik Ingmar; Bustad, Helene J.; Raasakka, Arne; Xu, Ju; Muruganandam, Gopinath; Loris, Remy; Martinez, Aurora; Bramham, Clive Raymond Evjen; Kursula, Petri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc) is a multidomain protein of retroviral origin with a vital role in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and memory formation in mammals. However, the mechanistic ... -
The quaternary structure of human tyrosine hydroxylase: effects of dystonia‐associated missense variants on oligomeric state and enzyme activity
Szigetvari, Peter Daniel; Muruganandam, Gopinath; Kallio, Juha; Hallin, Erik Ingmar; Fossbakk, Agnete; Loris, Remy; Kursula, Inari; Møller, Lisbeth Birk; Knappskog, Per; Kursula, Petri; Haavik, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is a multi-domain, homo-oligomeric enzyme that catalyses the rate-limiting step of catecholamine neurotransmitter biosynthesis. Missense variants of human TH are associated with a recessive ... -
Structural insights into Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease-linked mutations in human GDAP1
Sutinen, Aleksi; Nguyen, Giang Thi Tuyet; Raasakka, Arne; Muruganandam, Gopinath; Loris, Remy; Ylikallio, Emil; Tyynismaa, Henna; Bartesaghi, Luca; Ruskamo, Salla; Kursula, Petri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited peripheral polyneuropathy in humans, and its different subtypes are linked to mutations in dozens of different genes. Mutations in ganglioside-induced ... -
Structural similarities and functional differences clarify evolutionary relationships between tRNA healing enzymes and the myelin enzyme CNPase
Muruganandam, Gopinath; Raasakka, Arne; Myllykoski, Matti; Kursula, Inari; Kursula, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05-16)Background: Eukaryotic tRNA splicing is an essential process in the transformation of a primary tRNA transcript into a mature functional tRNA molecule. 5′-phosphate ligation involves two steps: a healing reaction catalyzed ... -
Structure and substrate specificity determinants of the taurine biosynthetic enzyme cysteine sulphinic acid decarboxylase
Mahootchi, Elaheh; Raasakk, Arne; Luan, Weisha; Muruganandam, Gopinath; Loris, Remy; Haavik, Jan; Kursula, Petri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Pyridoxal 5́-phosphate (PLP) is an important cofactor for amino acid decarboxylases with many biological functions, including the synthesis of signalling molecules, such as serotonin, dopamine, histamine, γ-aminobutyric ... -
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 ...
