Palmitoylated acyl protein thioesterase APT2 deforms membranes to extract substrate acyl chains

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Florence Pojer, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Sylvia Ho, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Muhammad Umair Anwar, Patrick Alain Sandoz, Martina Audagnotto

Acyl protein thioesterase APT2 interacts with membranes via its charged beta-tongue, becomes palmitoylated by ZDHHC3/7 and deforms the bilayer to extract substrate acyl chains. APT2 deacylation leads to its membrane release and degradation. ...

CLoNe: automated clustering based on local density neighborhoods for application to biomolecular structural ensembles

Matteo Dal Peraro, Giorgio Elikem Tamo, Deniz Aydin, Martina Audagnotto, Giulia Fonti, Sylvain Träger

Motivation: Proteins are intrinsically dynamic entities. Flexibility sampling methods, such as molecular dynamics or those arising from integrative modeling strategies, are now commonplace and enable the study of molecular conformational landscapes in many ...

Studying membrane-protein interplay by modeling realistic conditions

Martina Audagnotto

Realistic models of cellular environments have long captured the imagination of biologists and physical scientists. More than 20 years ago, Goodshellâ s inspiring rendering of cellular environments provided the foundation for the idea of capturing the ful ...

Effect of the Synaptic Plasma Membrane on the Stability of the Amyloid Precursor Protein Homodimer

Matteo Dal Peraro, Thomas Lemmin, Alessandro Barducci, Martina Audagnotto

The proteolytic cleavage of the transmembrane (TM) domain of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) releases amyloid-beta (A beta) peptides, which accumulation in the brain tissue is an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease. We used multiscale molecular dyna ...
