• Crystal and solution structures reveal oligomerization of individual capsid homology domains of Drosophila Arc 

      Hallin, Erik Ingmar; Markusson, Sigurbjörn; Bottger, Lev; Torda, Andrew E.; Bramham, Clive Raymond Evjen; Kursula, Petri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Synaptic plasticity is vital for brain function and memory formation. One of the key proteins in long-term synaptic plasticity and memory is the activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc). Mammalian Arc forms ...
    • Development and Validation of Arc Nanobodies: New Tools for Probing Arc Dynamics and Function 

      Ishizuka, Yuta; Mergiya, Tadiwos Feyissa; Baldinotti, Rodolfo Da Silva Mazzarini; Xu, Ju; Hallin, Erik Ingmar; Markusson, Sigurbjörn; Kursula, Petri; Bramham, Clive Raymond Evjen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated (Arc) protein plays key roles in long-term synaptic plasticity, memory, and cognitive flexibility. However, an integral understanding of Arc mechanisms is lacking. Arc is proposed ...
    • 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 ...
    • Protein target highlights in CASP15: Analysis of models by structure providers
