Algorithms and flowchart for the design of synthetic biochemical networks

New drugs are needed to assure effective therapies for previously untreated diseases, emerging diseases, and personalized medicine, but the process of drug development is complex, costly, and time-consuming. This is especially problematic considering that ...

Receptor-independent modulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein phosphatase signaling in cardiac myocytes by oxidizing agents

Sonia Donzelli

The contraction and relaxation of the heart is controlled by stimulation of the beta 1-adrenoreceptor (AR) signaling cascade, which leads to activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and subsequent cardiac protein phosphorylation. Phosphorylation i ...

Ligand Binding to the Collagen VI Receptor Triggers a Talin-to-RhoA Switch that Regulates Receptor Endocytosis

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Luciano Andres Abriata, Béatrice Kunz

Capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2/ANTXR2) is a cell surface receptor for both collagen VI and anthrax toxin. Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in CMG2 lead to a severe condition, hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS). We have here dissected a network o ...

Development of novel tools for imaging of metabolic fluxes in vivo

Tamara Maric

Bioluminescent imaging is a powerful technique that enables imaging in living organisms with high sensitivity, low background signal, low cost and without the need for radioactivity. The emitted photons are produced in the oxidation reaction of luciferin c ...

Targeting the oncogenic signaling of the transcription factor STAT3 with potent and selective monobody inhibitors

Grégory La Sala

Many targeted cancer therapies fail to improve the overall survival of patients. Limitations involve low drug selectivity and the rapid development of resistance. Moreover, the majority of oncogenic drivers presently remain considered as undruggable as th ...

Channelization cascade in landscape evolution

Sara Bonetti

The hierarchy of channel networks in landscapes displays features that are characteristic of nonequilibrium complex systems. Here we show that a sequence of increasingly complex ridge and valley networks is produced by a system of partial differential equa ...

Btk SH2-kinase interface is critical for allosteric kinase activation and its targeting inhibits B-cell neoplasms

Matteo Dal Peraro, Florence Pojer, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Oliver Hantschel, Allan Joaquim Lamontanara, Tim Kükenshöner, Grégory La Sala, Daniel Pereira Duarte

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is critical for B-cell maturation and activation. Btk loss-of-function mutations cause human X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). In contrast, Btk signaling sustains growth of several B-cell neoplasms which may be treated with ...

Precision Targeting of pten-Null Triple-Negative Breast Tumors Guided by Electrophilic Metabolite Sensing

Yimon Aye, Xuyu Liu, Lingxi Wang, Chaosheng Luo

Off-target effects continue to impede disease interventions, particularly when targeting a specific protein within a family of similar proteins, such as kinase isoforms that play tumor-subtype-specific roles in cancers. Exploiting the specific electrophili ...

Allosteric regulation and targeting of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) in B-cell lymphoma

Daniel Pereira Duarte

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a key component of BCR signaling required for B-cell maturation and activation. Loss-of-function mutations throughout the Btk protein cause human X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), a heritable genetic disorder characterize ...

Monitoring alpha-synuclein oligomerization and aggregation using bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays: What you see is not always what you get

Hilal Lashuel, Nathan Alain Denis Riguet, Bryan Frey, Abdelrahman Mohammed Adel Elsaeed Mansour AlOkda

Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) was introduced a decade ago as a method to monitor alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) oligomerization in intact cells. Since then, several alpha-syn BiFC cellular assays and animal models have been developed based o ...
