Structural insights into Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease-linked mutations in human GDAP1
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited peripheral polyneuropathy in humans, and its different subtypes are linked to mutations in dozens of different genes. Mutations in ganglioside-induced ... -
Structural mechanism for tyrosine hydroxylase inhibition by dopamine and reactivation by Ser40 phosphorylation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of dopamine (DA) and other catecholamines, and its dysfunction leads to DA deficiency and parkinsonisms. Inhibition by catecholamines and ... -
Structural properties and peptide ligand binding of the capsid homology domains of human Arc
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc) is important for synaptic plasticity and the normal function of the brain. Arc interacts with neuronal postsynaptic proteins, but the mechanistic details of its ... -
Structural similarities and functional differences clarify evolutionary relationships between tRNA healing enzymes and the myelin enzyme CNPase
(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 dynamics of a human myelin protein P2 portal region mutant indicate opening of the β barrel in fatty acid binding proteins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-25)Background: Myelin is a multilayered proteolipid sheath wrapped around selected axons in the nervous system. Its constituent proteins play major roles in forming of the highly regular membrane structure. P2 is a myelin-specific ... -
Structure and function of an atypical homodimeric actin capping protein from the malaria parasite
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Apicomplexan parasites, such as Plasmodium spp., rely on an unusual actomyosin motor, termed glideosome, for motility and host cell invasion. The actin filaments are maintained by a small set of essential regulators, which ... -
Structure and substrate specificity determinants of the taurine biosynthetic enzyme cysteine sulphinic acid decarboxylase
(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 ... -
Structure of the ALS Mutation Target Annexin A11 Reveals a Stabilising N-Terminal Segment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The functions of the annexin family of proteins involve binding to Ca2+, lipid membranes, other proteins, and RNA, and the annexins share a common folded core structure at the C terminus. Annexin A11 (AnxA11) has a long ... -
Structure of the Complete Dimeric Human GDAP1 Core Domain Provides Insights into Ligand Binding and Clustering of Disease Mutations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders. Despite the common involvement of ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (GDAP1) in CMT, the protein structure ... -
Structure of the mouse acidic amino acid decarboxylase GADL1
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is a ubiquitous cofactor in various enzyme classes, including PLP-dependent decarboxylases. A recently discovered member of this class is glutamic acid decarboxylase-like protein 1 (GADL1), ... -
Structure of transmembrane prolyl 4-hydroxylase reveals unique organization of EF and dioxygenase domains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4Hs) catalyze post-translational hydroxylation of peptidyl proline residues. In addition to collagen P4Hs and hypoxia-inducible factor P4Hs, a third P4H—the poorly characterized endoplasmic ... -
Structure to function analysis with antigenic characterization of a hypothetical protein, HPAG1_0576 from Helicobacter pylori HPAG1
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-31)Helicobacter pylori, a unique gastric pathogen causing chronic inflammation in the gastric mucosa with a possibility to develop gastric cancer has one-third of its proteins still uncharacterized. In this study, a hypothetical ... -

Study of the role of skin lymphatics in electrolyte and blood pressure regulation
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-02-21)Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death worldwide and represent a dramatic socio-economic challenge. Hypertension accounts for 18% of cardiovascular disease deaths in the Western countries, and is a major risk ... -
A study on features and markers of cellular metabolic rewiring
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-02-15)Mammalian cells regulate energy metabolism through molecular responses linked to the microenvironment and nutrient supply. Context dependent abnormalities of energy metabolism are important in disorders such as cancer, ... -
A study on metabolic rewiring in cancer cell plasticity
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-08-21)Adaptation of cellular energetics is an important feature of tumorigenesis as a vast supply of nutrients is needed to accommodate increased growth. Essential energy pathways includes glucose, fatty acid and amino acid ...
