Monobodies as possible next-generation protein therapeutics - a perspective

Over the past two decades, hundreds of new somatic mutations have been identified in tumours, and a few dozen novel cancer therapeutics that selectively target these mutated oncoproteins have entered clinical practice. This development has resulted in clin ...

Selective Targeting of SH2 Domain–Phosphotyrosine Interactions of Src Family Tyrosine Kinases with Monobodies

Florence Pojer, Oliver Hantschel, Nadine Eliane Schmit, Tim Kükenshöner

The binding of Src-homology 2 (SH2) domains to phosphotyrosine (pY) sites is critical for the autoinhibition and substrate recognition of the eight Src family kinases (SFKs). The high sequence conservation of the 120 human SH2 domains poses a significant c ...

Engineering the Extra Domain A of fibronectin as a vaccine adjuvant and study of its role in tissue regeneration

Ziad Julier

The extracellular matrix (ECM) protein fibronectin (FN) is a remarkably multifaceted molecule, including numerous fibronectin type III (FNIII) repeats carrying out different functions, which despite being extensively studied for over thirty years still pre ...

IGF-1-containing multi-layered collagen-fibrin hybrid scaffolds for bladder tissue engineering

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Peter Frey, Hans Mattias Larsson, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Elif Vardar, Kalitha Pinnagoda

Clinical success of bladder reconstructive procedures could be promoted by the availability of functional biomaterials. In this study, we have developed a multi-layered scaffold consisting of a bioactive fibrin layer laminated between two collagen sheets a ...

Novel interventions to recover the regenerative capacity of aged skeletal muscle by targeting the interactions in the stem cell niche

Laura Lukjanenko

The remarkable ability of skeletal muscle to regenerate upon injury is conferred by tissue-resident stem cells called satellite cells. With age, the regenerative capacity of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) dramatically declines. Developing strategies to enhance ...

Extracellular matrix heparin-binding domains

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Federico Tortelli, Jeffrey James Rice

Heparin binding peptides derived from a Tenascin (TNC) III1-5 domain or a fibrinogen ²15-66 domain have been found that bind certain cytokines with high affinity. Materials and methods for making compositions and devices using these peptides are disclosed. ...

The TLR4 Agonist Fibronectin Extra Domain A is Cryptic, Exposed by Elastase-2; use in a fibrin matrix cancer vaccine

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Alexandre de Titta, Laura Jeanbart, Ziad Julier

Fibronectin (FN) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein including numerous fibronectin type III (FNIII) repeats with different functions. The alternatively spliced FN variant containing the extra domain A (FNIII EDA), located between FNIII 11 and FNIII 1 ...

Fibrin gels engineered with pro-angiogenic growth factors promote engraftment of pancreatic islets in extrahepatic sites in mice

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Alice Anna Tomei

With a view toward reduction of graft loss, we explored pancreatic islet transplantation within fibrin matrices rendered pro-angiogenic by incorporation of minimal doses of vascular endothelial growth factor-A165 and platelet-derived growth factor-BB prese ...

Functional Perturbation of the Gab2 Multiprotein Complex by High-affinity SH2-binding Monobodies in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Emel Basak Gencer Akçok

Chronic myeloid leukemia is characterized by a reciprocal chromosomal translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, resulting in the expression of the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein. Despite the great improvement in patient survival using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI ...

Growth Factors Engineered for Super-Affinity to the Extracellular Matrix Enhance Tissue Healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Mikaël Martino, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Esra Güç, Federico Tortelli, Stéphanie Elisabeth Metzger, Jeffrey James Rice

Growth factors (GFs) are critical in tissue repair, but their translation to clinical use has been modest. Physiologically, GF interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM) components facilitate localized and spatially regulated signaling; therefore, we rea ...
