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 ... -
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 ...
