Towards elucidating the structural and cellular determinants of a-synuclein seeding and toxicity

Somanath Jagannath

Although it has been nearly two and half decades since the discovery of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) as the major component of Lewy bodies (LBs), our understanding of the involvement of different aSyn species, their seeding, spreading and toxicity in Parkinson's ...

A Nanoscaffolded Spike-RBD Vaccine Provides Protection against SARS-CoV-2 with Minimal Anti-Scaffold Response

David Hacker, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Florence Pojer, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau

The response of the adaptive immune system is augmented by multimeric presentation of a specific antigen, resembling viral particles. Several vaccines have been designed based on natural or designed protein scaffolds, which exhibited a potent adaptive imm ...

Boosted Pro-Inflammatory Activity in Human PBMCs by Lipopolysaccharide and SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Is Regulated by alpha-1 Antitrypsin

Florian Maria Wurm, Divor Kiseljak

For the treatment of severe COVID-19, supplementation with human plasma-purified alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) to patients is currently considered. AAT inhibits host proteases that facilitate viral entry and possesses broad anti-inflammatory and immunomodulato ...

The Intestinal Microbiota Contributes to the Ability of Helminths to Modulate Allergic Inflammation

Jacques Rougemont, Laure Menin, Nicola Harris, Alessandra Piersigilli, Benjamin John Marsland, Mario Michael Zaiss, Ilaria Mosconi, Lalit Kumar Dubey, Alexis Rapin, Luc Xavier Marie Lebon, Andrew J. Macpherson

Intestinal helminths are potent regulators of their host's immune system and can ameliorate inflammatory diseases such as allergic asthma. In the present study we have assessed whether this anti-inflammatory activity was purely intrinsic to helminths, or w ...

SIRT2 Deficiency Modulates Macrophage Polarization and Susceptibility to Experimental Colitis

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Alessandra Piersigilli, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Keir Joe Menzies, Hiroyasu Yamamoto, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

Background: SIRT2 belongs to a highly conserved family of NAD(+)-dependent deacylases, consisting of seven members (SIRT1-SIRT7), which vary in subcellular localizations and have substrates ranging from histones to transcription factors and enzymes. Recent ...

NCoR Repression of LXRs Restricts Macrophage Biosynthesis of Insulin-Sensitizing Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Johan Auwerx

Macrophage-mediated inflammation is a major contributor to obesity-associated insulin resistance. The corepressor NCoR interacts with inflammatory pathway genes in macrophages, suggesting that its removal would result in increased activity of inflammatory ...

Deamidation and Transamidation of Substance P by Tissue Transglutaminase Revealed by Electron-Capture Dissociation Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (Chem. Eur. J. 2/2011)

Horst Vogel, Yury Tsybin, Luigino Grasso, Adrian Schmid, Luca Fornelli

Tissue transglutaminase (tTGase) catalyzes both deamidation and transamidation of peptides and proteins by using a peptidyl glutamine as primary substrate. A precise consensus sequence for the enzyme is unknown and the ratio between deamidated and transami ...
