Arc is a flexible modular protein capable of reversible self-oligomerization
(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 ... -
B-type natriuretic peptide expression and cardioprotection is regulated by Akt dependent signaling at early reperfusion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)Exogenously administered B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been shown to offer cardioprotection through activation of particulate guanylyl cyclase (pGC), protein kinase G (PKG) and KATP channel opening. The current study ... -
Conformational stability and activity analysis of two hydroxymethylbilane synthase mutants, K132N and V215E, with different phenotypic association with acute intermittent porphyria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08)The autosomal dominantly inherited disease AIP (acute intermittent porphyria) is caused by mutations in HMBS [hydroxymethylbilane synthase; also known as PBG (porphobilinogen) deaminase], the third enzyme in the haem ... -
Crowdsourcing in proteomics: public resources lead to better experiments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-04)With the growing interest in the field of proteomics, the amount of publicly available proteome resources has also increased dramatically. This means that there are many useful resources available for almost all aspects ... -
DeNovoGUI: an open source graphical user interface for de novo sequencing of tandem mass spectra
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)De novo sequencing is a popular technique in proteomics for identifying peptides from tandem mass spectra without having to rely on a protein sequence database. Despite the strong potential of de novo sequencing algorithms, ... -
Discovery and initial verification of differentially abundant proteins between multiple sclerosis patients and controls using iTRAQ and SID-SRM
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01)In the present study, we aimed to discover cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins with significant abundance difference between early multiple sclerosis patients and controls, and do an initial verification of these proteins ... -
Dwarfism in mice lacking collagen-binding integrins alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 11 beta 1 is caused by severely diminished IGF-1 levels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-02)Mice with a combined deficiency in the α2β1 and α11β1 integrins lack the major receptors for collagen I. These mutants are born with inconspicuous differences in size but develop dwarfism within the first 4 weeks of life. ... -
Exploring the human plasma proteome for humoral mediators of remote ischemic preconditioning - A word of caution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-15)Despite major advances in early revascularization techniques, cardiovascular diseases are still the leading cause of death worldwide, and myocardial infarctions contribute heavily to this. Over the past decades, it has ... -
Induction of mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration is associated with mTOR regulation in hepatocytes of rats treated with the pan-PPAR activator tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01)The hypolipidemic effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activators has been explained by increasing mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, as observed in livers of rats treated with the pan-PPAR activator ... -
Introduction of aromatic ring-containing substituents in cyclic nucleotides is associated with inhibition of toxin uptake by the hepatocyte transporters OATP 1B1 and 1B3
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-16)Analogs of the cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP have been extensively used to mimic or modulate cellular events mediated by protein kinase A (PKA), Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac), or protein kinase G ... -
Introduction to opportunities and pitfalls in functional mass spectrometry based proteomics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01)With the advent of mass spectrometry based proteomics, the identification of thousands of proteins has become commonplace in biology nowadays. Increasingly, efforts have also been invested toward the detection and localization ... -
The laminin response in inflammatory bowel disease: Protection or malignancy?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-27)Laminins (LM), basement membrane molecules and mediators of epithelial-stromal communication, are crucial in tissue homeostasis. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) are multifactorial pathologies where the microenvironment ... -
Machine learning applications in proteomics research: How the past can boost the future
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Machine learning is a subdiscipline within artificial intelligence that focuses on algorithms that allow computers to learn solving a (complex) problem from existing data. This ability can be used to generate a solution ... -
Shedding light on black boxes in protein identification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05)Performing a well thought-out proteomics data analysis can be a daunting task, especially for newcomers to the field. Even researchers experienced in the proteomics field can find it challenging to follow existing publication ... -
Structural and thermodynamic insight into phenylalanine hydroxylase from the human pathogen Legionella pneumophila
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08-19)Phenylalanine hydroxylase from Legionella pneumophila (lpPAH) has a major functional role in the synthesis of the pigment pyomelanin, which is a potential virulence factor. We present here the crystal structure of lpPAH, ... -
Transfer of mitochondria via tunneling nanotubes rescues apoptotic PC12 cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-09)Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are F-actin-based membrane tubes that form between cells in culture and in tissues. They mediate intercellular communication ranging from electrical signalling to the transfer of organelles. Here, ... -
Two-stage translational control of dentate gyrus LTP consolidation is mediated by sustained BDNF-TrkB signaling to MNK
