Synthesis and application of bifunctional hypervalent iodine reagents for peptide modification.

Elija Grinhagena

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are responsible for regulating many biological processes in human bodies. PPIs often have a large binding site and often interact through an alpha helical segment. Therefore, the inhibition of PPIs can be difficult using ...

A minimalistic cyclic ice-binding peptide from phage display

Harm-Anton Klok, Luciano Andres Abriata, Corey Alfred Stevens, Matthew Gibson, Xudong Kong

Developing molecules that emulate the properties of naturally occurring ice-binding proteins (IBPs) is a daunting challenge. Rather than relying on the (limited) existing structure–property relationships that have been established for IBPs, here we report ...

The box C/D snoRNP assembly factor Bcd1 interacts with the histone chaperone Rtt106 and controls its transcription dependent activity

Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé

Biogenesis of eukaryotic box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins initiates co-transcriptionally and requires the action of the assembly machinery including the Hsp90/R2TP complex, the Rsa1p:Hit1p heterodimer and the Bcd1 protein. We present genetic inte ...

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 ...
