Neurocognition and NMDAR co-agonists pathways in individuals with treatment resistant first-episode psychosis: a 3-year follow-up longitudinal study

This study aims to determine whether 1) individuals with treatment-resistant schizophrenia display early cognitive impairment compared to treatment-responders and healthy controls and 2) N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor hypofunction is an underlying mechanism ...

A Rapid Translational Immune Response Program in CD8 Memory T Lymphocytes

Linlin Cao

The activation of memory T cells is a very rapid and concerted cellular response that requires coordination between cellular processes in different compartments and on different time scales. In this study, we use ribosome profiling and deep RNA sequencing ...

Dissecting the role of the asparagine synthesis in acute liver injury

Yu Sun

Amino acids are some of the main building stones of life used in a variety of biological processes, such as protein synthesis, energy metabolism or even as precursors for hormone synthesis. How-ever, some of them also participate and coordinate certain cel ...

Microhydration of Biomolecules: Revealing the Native Structures by Cold Ion IR Spectroscopy

Oleg Boyarkine, Andrei Zviagin, Viktoriia Aladinskaia

The native-like structures of protonated glycine and peptide Gly3H+ were elucidated using cold ion IR spectroscopy of these biomolecules hydrated by a controlled number of water molecules. The complexes were generated directly from an aqueous solution usin ...

Impairment of Glycolysis-Derived L-Serine Production in Astrocytes Contributes to Cognitive Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease

Graham Knott

Alteration of brain aerobic glycolysis is often observed early in the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whether and how such metabolic dysregulation contributes to both synaptic plasticity and behavioral deficits in AD is not known. Here, we show that th ...

Metabolomics reveals tepotinib‐related mitochondrial dysfunction in MET activating mutations‐driven models

Katarzyna Pierzchala

Genetic aberrations in the hepatocyte growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase MET induce oncogenic addiction in various types of human cancers, advocating MET as a viable anticancer target. Here, we report that MET signaling plays an important role in confe ...

The Structure of the Protonated Serine Octamer

Ursula Röthlisberger, Thomas Rizzo, Stephan Warnke, Marta Andreia Da Silva Perez, Valeriu Scutelnic, Aurelien Stephen Arnaud Gregor, Carsten Baldauf

The amino acid serine has long been known to form a protonated “magic-number” cluster containing eight monomer units that shows an unusually high abundance in mass spectra and has a remarkable homochiral preference. Despite many experimental and theoretica ...

Cryogenic infrared spectroscopy as a probe of structure and dynamics of biomolecules

Valeriu Scutelnic

The pivotal theory of molecular biology states that the structure of biomolecules is directly related to their function in living systems. In this way, the structural investigation of biological molecules allows understanding and intervening in the fundame ...

Calcium phosphate formation on titanium-based surfaces: bioactivity evaluated by in vitro methods

Weitian Zhao

The prediction of implant behaviors in vivo by the use of easy-to-perform in vitro methods is of great interest in biomaterials research. In the field of bone implants, it is commonly accepted that a spontaneous formation of a hydroxyapatite (HA) layer on ...

Experimental and theoretical studies on electropolymerization of polar amino acids on platinum electrode

Christophe Roussel

The anodic oxidation of polar amino acids (L-serine, L-threonine, L-asparagine, and L-glutamine) in aqueous electrolyte on smooth platinum electrode was carried out by cyclic voltammetry coupled to electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). pH (zw ...

Structural Role of RKS Motifs in Chromatin Interactions: A Molecular Dynamics Study of HP1 Bound to a Variably Modified Histone Tail

Efthimios Kaxiras

The current understanding of epigenetic signaling assigns a central role to post-translational modifications that occur in the histone tails. In this context, it has been proposed that methylation of K9 and phosphorylation of S10 in the tail of histone H3 ...

Synthesis of glycopeptide dendrimers, dimerization and affinity for Concanavalin A

Ronan Euzen, Jean-Louis Reymond

We described herein the synthesis of second generation glycopeptide dendrimers G2a-g presenting variable amino acids placed internally into the multivalent scaffold. The effect of such structural modulation on recognition processes by Concanavalin A (Con A ...

Neutron Reflectivity Study on the Postpolymerization Modification of Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) Brushes

Harm-Anton Klok, Juan Pablo Hinestrosa Salazar

Postpolymerization modification reactions are widely employed to prepare functional polymer brushes. Relatively little is known, however, about the distribution of functional groups in such postmodified brushes. Using neutron reflectometry and UV-vis spect ...

Synthesis of Responsive Polymer Brushes for Sensing Applications

Nicolas Bertrand Schüwer

During the past decades the field of sensors has been subject to much attention due to an increased demand for (bio)sensors and environmental monitoring. The efforts have been concentrated to create sensors which are reliable, highly sensitive and selectiv ...

The role of sulfated metabolites in the wound response of siphonous green algae

Matthew Anthony Welling

The giant unicellular macroalgae exhibit an extraordinary wound repair mechanism. The rapid assimilation of cellular contents into an insoluble wound plug prevents detrimental cytoplasmic loss and limits the intrusion of extracellular components which coul ...

Notch-induced T cell development requires phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1

Freddy Radtke

Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase l (PDK1) phosphorylates and activates multiple AGC serine kinases, including protein kinase B (PKB), p70Ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K) and p90Ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK). PDK1 is required for thymocyte differentiation and prolife ...

C-linked disaccharide analogue of the Thomsen-Friedenreich (T)-epitope alpha-O-conjugated to L-serine

Pierre Vogel, Loay Awad

Condensation of a silylated beta-D-galactopyranosylaldehyde (3) with isolevoglucosenone (4) in the presence of Et(2)AII provided bicyclic enone 5. Subsequent addition of BnNHOMe gave adduct 6, which was converted into 4-O-acetyl-1,6-anhydro-3-C-[ R)1.3,4,5 ...
