      ADP-ribosylation, a modification of proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites, confers broad functions, including roles in stress responses elicited, for example, by DNA damage and viral infection and is involved in intra- ...
    • The Arabidopsis (ASHH2) CW domain binds monomethylated K4 of the histone H3 tail through conformational selection 

      Dobrovolska, Olena; Brilkov, Maxim; Madeleine, Noëlly; Ødegaard-Fougner, Øyvind; Strømland, Øyvind; Martin, Stephen R.; De Marco, Valeria; Christodoulou, Evangelos; Teigen, Knut; Isaksson, Johan; Underhaug, Jarl; Reuter, Nathalie; Aalen, Reidunn B.; Aasland, Rein; Halskau, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Chromatin post‐translational modifications are thought to be important for epigenetic effects on gene expression. Methylation of histone N‐terminal tail lysine residues constitutes one of many such modifications, executed ...
    • Cholesterol-containing lipid nanodiscs promote an α-synuclein binding mode that accelerates oligomerization 

      Jakubec, Martin; Bariås, Espen; Furse, Samuel Robert; Govasli Larsen, Morten Andreas; George, Vinnit; Turcu, Diana Cornelia; Iashchishyn, Igor A.; Morozova-Roche, Ludmilla A.; Halskau, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Dysregulation of the biosynthesis of cholesterol and other lipids has been implicated in many neurological diseases, including Parkinson's disease. Misfolding of α-synuclein (α-Syn), the main actor in Parkinson's disease, ...
    • 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 ...
    • Human myelin protein P2: from crystallography to time-lapse membrane imaging and neuropathy-associated variants 

      Uusitalo, Maiju; Klenow, Martin Berg; Laulumaa, Saara; Blakeley, Matthew P.; Simonsen, Adam Cohen; Ruskamo, Salla; Kursula, Petri (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 ...
