    • Arc is a flexible modular protein capable of reversible self-oligomerization 

      Myrum, Craig; Baumann, Anne; Bustad, Helene J.; Flydal, Marte Innselset; Mariaule, Vincent; Alvira, Sara; Cuéllar, Jorge; Haavik, Jan; Soulé, Jonathan; Valpuesta, José María; Márquez, José Antonio; Martinez, Aurora; Bramham, Clive R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      The immediate early gene product Arc (activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein) is posited as a master regulator of long-term synaptic plasticity and memory. However, the physicochemical and structural properties ...

    • Europapolitikken i dag En studie av norske politiske partiers posisjon og argumentasjon under stortingsvalgkampen 2021 

      Baumann, Anne (Master thesis, 2022-06-15)
      Sammendrag: Europapolitikk er et komplekst politikkområde i den norske politiske konteksten. Ved to tidligere anledninger har det vært folkeavstemninger, henholdsvis i 1972 og 1994 som har stilt spørsmål om norsk medlemskap ...

    • GADL1 is a multifunctional decarboxylase with tissue-specific roles in β-alanine and carnosine production 

      Mahootchi, Elaheh; Homaei, Selina Cannon; Kleppe, Rune; Winge, Ingeborg; Hegvik, Tor-Arne; Perez, Roberto Megias; Totland, Christian; Mogavero, Floriana; Baumann, Anne; Glennon, Jeffrey Colm; Miletic, Hrvoje; Kursula, Petri; Haavik, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Carnosine and related β-alanine–containing peptides are believed to be important antioxidants, pH buffers, and neuromodulators. However, their biosynthetic routes and therapeutic potential are still being debated. This ...

    • HAMLET forms annular oligomers when deposited with phoshpolipid monolayers 

      Baumann, Anne; Gjerde, Anja Underhaug; Ying, Ming; Svanborg, Catharina; Holmsen, Holm A.; Glomm, Wilhelm; Martinez, Aurora; Halskau, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04)
      Recently, the anticancer activity of human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) has been linked to its increased membrane affinity in vitro, at neutral pH, and ability to cause leakage relative to the inactive ...

    • HAMLET interacts with lipid membranes and perturbs their structure and integrity 

      Mossberg, Ann-Kristin; Puchades, Maja; Halskau, Øyvind; Baumann, Anne; Lanekoff, Ingela; Chao, Yinxia; Martinez, Aurora; Svanborg, Catharina; Karlsson, Roger (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-01-23)
      Background Cell membrane interactions rely on lipid bilayer constituents and molecules inserted within the membrane, including specific receptors. HAMLET (human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) is a tumoricidal ...

    • Membrane Association Landscape of Myelin Basic Protein Portrays Formation of the Myelin Major Dense Line 

      Raasakka, Arne; Ruskamo, Salla; Kowal, Julia; Barker, Robert; Baumann, Anne; Martel, Anne; Tuusa, Jussi; Myllykoski, Matti; Bürck, Jochen; Ulrich, Anne S.; Stahlberg, Henning; Kursula, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-10)
      Compact myelin comprises most of the dry weight of myelin, and its insulative nature is the basis for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses. The major dense line (MDL) is a 3-nm compartment between two cytoplasmic leaflets ...

    • Molecular mechanisms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy linked to mutations in human myelin protein P2 

      Ruskamo, Salla; Nieminen, Tuomo; Kristiansen, Cecilie Katrin; Vatne, Guro Helén; Baumann, Anne; Hallin, Erik Ingmar; Raasakka, Arne; Joensuu, Päivi; Bergmann, Ulrich; Vattulainen, Ilpo; Kursula, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-26)
      Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is one of the most common inherited neuropathies. Recently, three CMT1-associated point mutations (I43N, T51P, and I52T) were discovered in the abundant peripheral myelin protein P2. These ...

    • Molecular structure and function of myelin protein P0 in membrane stacking 

      Raasakka, Arne; Ruskamo, Salla; Kowal, Julia; Han, Huijong; Baumann, Anne; Myllykoski, Matti; Fasano, Anna; Rossano, Rocco; Riccio, Paolo; Bürck, Jochen; Ulrich, Anne S.; Stahlberg, Henning; Kursula, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Compact myelin forms the basis of nerve insulation essential for higher vertebrates. Dozens of myelin membrane bilayers undergo tight stacking, and in the peripheral nervous system, this is partially enabled by myelin ...

    • The N-terminal sequence of tyrosine hydroxylase is a conformationally versatile motif that binds 14-3-3 proteins and membranes 

      Skjevik, Åge Aleksander; Mileni, Mauro; Baumann, Anne; Halskau, Øyvind; Teigen, Knut; Raymond C., Stevens; Martinez, Aurora (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01-09)
      Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of catecholamine neurotransmitters, and a reduction in TH activity is associated with several neurological diseases. Human TH is regulated, among ...
