MASP-1 and MASP-2 are key activator proteases of the complement lectin pathway. The first specific mannose-binding lectin-associated serine protease (MASP) inhibitors had been developed from the 14-amino-acid sunflower trypsin inhibitor (SFTI) peptide by phage display, yielding SFTI-based MASP inhibitors, SFMIs.

Haemocyanins are commonly known as copper-containing oxygen carriers within the haemolymph of arthropods, and have been found in many orders of insects. However, it remains unresolved why haemocyanins persist in insects that possess elaborate tracheal systems for oxygen diffusion to

Autophagy plays a key role in removing protein aggregates and damaged organelles. In addition to its conventional degradative functions, autophagy machinery contributes to the release of cytosolic proteins through an unconventional secretion pathway. In this research, we analyzed autophagy-induced extracellular

Sphingolipids are structural lipid components of cell membranes, including membrane of organelles, such as mitochondria or endoplasmic reticulum, playing a role in signal transduction as well as in the transport and intermixing of cell membranes. Sphingolipid microdomains, also called lipid
Mucosal immunology, 3(1), 57-68 (2009-09-11)
Vaccine-mediated prevention of primary infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may require the sustained production of antibody at mucosal portals of entry. Here, we describe a novel approach of repeated mucosal immunization by delivering an HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (gp) in
Cells, 9(4) (2020-04-23)
Brown adipocytes, abundant in deep-neck (DN) area in humans, are thermogenic with anti-obesity potential. FTO pro-obesity rs1421085 T-to-C single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) shifts differentiation program towards white adipocytes in subcutaneous fat. Human adipose-derived stromal cells were obtained from subcutaneous neck (SC)
Journal of dairy science, 98(10), 7044-7051 (2015-08-19)
Adiponectin, an adipokine, regulates metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Considering that the transplacental transfer of maternal proteins of high molecular weight is hindered in ruminants, this study tested the hypothesis that the blood concentration of adiponectin in neonatal calves largely reflects
International journal of molecular sciences, 21(21) (2020-10-31)
Stimulus-dependent elevation of intracellular Ca2+ affects gene expression via well-documented calmodulin-mediated signaling pathways. Recently, we found that the addition of extra- and intracellular Ca2+ chelators increased, rather than decreased, the number of genes expressed, and that this is affected by
PLoS genetics, 15(9), e1008379-e1008379 (2019-09-17)
Efficient adaptation to iron starvation is an essential virulence determinant of the most common human mold pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus. Here, we demonstrate that the cytosolic monothiol glutaredoxin GrxD plays an essential role in iron sensing in this fungus. Our studies
