A bi-terminal protein ligation strategy to probe chromatin structure during DNA damage

Beat Fierz, Sinan Kilic, Iuliia Boichenko, Carolin Christine Lechner

The cellular response to DNA damage results in a signaling cascade that primes chromatin for repair. Combinatorial post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a key role in this process by altering the physical properties of chromatin and recruiting downs ...

Combinatorial targeting of angiogenesis with inducers of autophagy in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme

Julie Laetitia Scotton

Malignant gliomas represent 80% of tumors developing in the central nervous system, with 50% being glioblastomas (GBM), the most aggressive form of the disease. The benefit from current therapies is very limited, the overall 5-year survival rate of patient ...

Computational Investigation of Intracellular Signalling Cascades : from G-Protein-Coupled Receptors to Adenylyl Cyclase

Siri Camee van Keulen

In order to adjust to changes in the environment, cells can communicate via signalling cascades. A common pathway for intercellular communication is the G-protein-coupled- receptor (GPCR) signal transduction cascade which is triggered by a (chemical or phy ...

Exploring the inhibition mechanism of adenylyl cyclase type 5 by n-terminal myristoylated Gαi1

Ursula Röthlisberger, Siri Camee van Keulen

Adenylyl cyclase (AC) is an important messenger involved in G-protein-coupled-receptor signal transduction pathways, which is a well-known target for drug development. AC is regulated by activated stimulatory (Gαs) and inhibitory (Gαi) G proteins in the cy ...

Aberrant Accumulation of the Diabetes Autoantigen GAD65 in Golgi Membranes in Conditions of ER Stress and Autoimmunity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan, Chiara Cianciaruso, Miriella Carmela Pasquier, Edward Allen Phelps

Pancreatic islet β-cells are particularly susceptible to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which is implicated in β-cell dysfunction and loss during the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The peripheral membrane protein GAD65 is an autoantigen in huma ...

Identification of genetic interactors of ypa2 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Manuela Moraru

In this study, the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was used as a model system to study the cellular signaling that underlies cell cycle progression. Phosphorylation plays an important part in the regulation of this process. Kinases catalyze the tra ...

The Mechanism of Ligand-Induced Activation or Inhibition of - and -Opioid Receptors

Horst Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important targets for treating severe diseases. However why certain molecules act as activators whereas others, with similar structures, block GPCR activation, is poorly understood since the same molecule can activat ...

Compartmentalization of GABA synthesis by GAD67 differs between pancreatic beta cells and neurons

Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan, Chiara Cianciaruso, Miriella Carmela Pasquier, Edward Allen Phelps

The inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA is synthesized by the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) in neurons and in pancreatic β-cells in islets of Langerhans where it functions as a paracrine and autocrine signaling molecule regulating the function of i ...
