Cytochrome c lysine acetylation regulates cellular respiration and cell death in ischemic skeletal muscle
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Skeletal muscle is more resilient to ischemia-reperfusion injury than other organs. Tissue specific post-translational modifications of cytochrome c (Cytc) are involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating mitochondrial ...

Characterization of the kisspeptin system in human sperm
(European Academy of Andrology, 2012)
Kisspeptin, the product of the KISS1 gene, plays an essential role in the regulation of spermatogenesis acting primarily at the hypothalamic level of the gonadotropic axis. However, the presence of kisspeptin and its ...

sp2-Iminosugars targeting human lysosomal β-hexosaminidase as pharmacological chaperone candidates for late-onset Tay-Sachs disease
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
The late-onset form of Tay-Sachs disease displays when the activity levels of human β-hexosaminidase A (HexA) fall below 10% of normal, due to mutations that destabilise the native folded form of the enzyme and impair its ...

Pharmacological chaperone therapy for Gaucher disease: A patent review
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
Introduction: Mutations in the gene encoding for acid β-glucosidase (β-glucocerebrosidase, GlcCerase) are seen in Gaucher disease (GD), which give rise to significant protein misfolding effects and result in progressive ...

ARL15 modulates magnesium homeostasis through N-glycosylation of CNNMs
(Springer, 2021)
Cyclin M (CNNM1-4) proteins maintain cellular and body magnesium (Mg2+) homeostasis. Using various biochemical approaches, we have identified members of the CNNM family as direct interacting partners of ADP-ribosylation ...

Mannosyl-coated nanocomplexes from amphiphilic cyclodextrins and pDNA for site-specific gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2011-10)
Fully homogeneous facial amphiphiles consisting in a cyclodextrin (CD) platform onto which a polycationic cluster and a multi-tail hydrophobic moiety have been installed (polycationic amphiphilic CDs; paCDs) self-organized ...

A dicoordinate gold(i)–ethylene complex
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
The use of the exceptionally bulky tris-2-(4,40 -di-tert-butylbiphenylyl) phosphine ligand allows the isolation and complete characterization of the first dicoordinate gold(I)–ethylene adduct, filling a missing fundamental ...

Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) regulates the glucocorticoid signaling pathway during the early phase of adipogenesis
(Springer Nature, 2023-05-22)
Obesity is associated with adipose tissue dysfunction through the differentiation and expansion of pre-adipocytes to adipocytes (hyperplasia) and/or increases in size of pre-existing adipocytes (hypertrophy). A cascade of ...

Photodynamic therapy: Photosensitizers and nanostructures
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
The reactions of some structures to different external stimuli can be used for therapeutic purposes. In particular, in photodynamic therapy (PDT), a light-sensitive compound or structure, commonly named a photosensitizer ...

Self-association of a naphthalene-capped-β-cyclodextrin through cooperative strong hydrophobic interactions
(Elsevier, 2011-09-05)
NMR, circular dichroism and fluorescence techniques were used to study the structure in solution of a new β-cyclodextrin derivate in which naphthalene chromophore group is bridged to O(2) and O(3) secondary positions of ...
