    • The balance between NAD+ biosynthesis and consumption in ageing 

      Strømland, Øyvind; Diab, Joseph; Ferrario, Eugenio; Sverkeli, Lars Jansen; Ziegler, Mathias (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a vital coenzyme in redox reactions. NAD+ is also important in cellular signalling as it is consumed by PARPs, SARM1, sirtuins and CD38. Cellular NAD+ levels regulate several ...
    • Binding Specificity of ASHH2 CW Domain Toward H3K4me1 Ligand Is Coupled to Its Structural Stability Through Its α1-Helix

      The CW domain binds to histone tail modifications found in different protein families involved in epigenetic regulation and chromatin remodeling. CW domains recognize the methylation state of the fourth lysine on histone ...
    • Detection of misfolded protein aggregates from a clinical perspective 

      Jakubec, Martin; Strømland, Øyvind; Furse, Samuel Robert; Halskau, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Neurodegenerative Protein Misfolding Diseases (PMDs), such as Alzheimer’s (AD), Parkinson’s (PD) and prion diseases, are generally difficult to diagnose before irreversible damage to the central nervous system damage has ...
    • Early Evolutionary Selection of NAD Biosynthesis Pathway in Bacteria 

      Sharma, Suraj; Hsieh, Yin-Chen; Dietze, Jørn; Bockwoldt, Mathias; Strømland, Øyvind; Ziegler, Mathias; Heiland, Ines (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Bacteria use two alternative pathways to synthesize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) from nicotinamide (Nam). A short, two-step route proceeds through nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) formation, whereas the other ...
    • Investigating the Disordered and Membrane-Active Peptide A-Cage-C Using Conformational Ensembles 

      Dobrovolska, Olena; Strømland, Øyvind; Handegård, Ørjan Sele; Jakubec, Martin; Govasli Larsen, Morten Andreas; Skjevik, Åge Aleksander; Frøystein, Nils Åge; Teigen, Knut; Halskau, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The driving forces and conformational pathways leading to amphitropic protein-membrane binding and in some cases also to protein misfolding and aggregation is the subject of intensive research. In this study, a chimeric ...
    • Novel Calcium-Binding Motif Stabilizes and Increases the Activity of Aspergillus fumigatus Ecto-NADase 

      Ferrario, Eugenio; Kallio, Juha Pekka; Strømland, Øyvind; Ziegler, Mathias (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential molecule in all kingdoms of life, mediating energy metabolism and cellular signaling. Recently, a new class of highly active fungal surface NADases was discovered. ...
