Microbial peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (ppIases): virulence factors and potential alternative drug targets
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2014)Initially discovered in the context of immunomodulation, peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) were soon identified as enzymes catalyzing the rate-limiting protein folding step at peptidyl bonds preceding proline ... -
Polyketide synthase (PKS) reduces fusion of Legionella pneumophila-containing vacuoles with lysosomes and contributes to bacterial competitiveness during infection
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2014)L. pneumophila-containing vacuoles (LCVs) exclude endocytic and lysosomal markers in human macrophages and protozoa. We screened a L. pneumophila mini-Tn10 transposon library for mutants, which fail to inhibit the fusion ... -
The phenotypes of ATG9, ATG16 and ATG9/16 knock-out mutants imply autophagy-dependent and -independent functions
(Royal Soc, 2015)Macroautophagy is a highly conserved intracellular bulk degradation system of all eukaryotic cells. It is governed by a large number of autophagy proteins (ATGs) and is crucial for many cellular processes. Here, we describe ... -
FKBPs in bacterial infections
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015)Background: FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) contain a domain with peptidyl-prolyl-cis/trans-isomerase (PPlase) activity and bind the immunosuppressive drugs FK506 and rapamycin. FKBPs belong to the immunophilin family and ... -
MIPs and aptamers for recognition of proteins in biomimetic sensing
(Mdpi, 2016)Biomimetic binders and catalysts have been generated in order to substitute the biological pendants in separation techniques and bioanalysis. The two major approaches use either "evolution in the test tube" of nucleotides ... -
Novel therapeutic strategies for Clostridium difficile infections
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016)Introduction: In recent years, Clostridium difficile has become the primary cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis, resulting in long and complicated hospital stays that represent a serious ... -
BMP-2 and BMP-9 binding specificities with ALK-3 in aqueous solution with dynamics
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017)Signal ligands of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily include the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). BMPs bind to type I and type II serine-threonine kinase receptors and trigger the transphosphorylation ... -
Enzymes as tools in MIP-Sensors
(Mdpi, 2017)Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have the potential to complement antibodies in bioanalysis, are more stable under harsh conditions, and are potentially cheaper to produce. However, the affinity and especially the ... -
Tyrosine regulates beta-sheet structure formation in amyloid-beta(42): a new clustering algorithm for disordered proteins
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2017)Our recent studies show that the single Tyr residue in the sequence of amyloid-beta(42) (A beta(42)) is reactive toward various ligands, including metals and adenosine trisphospate (see: Coskuner, O. J. Biol. Inorg. Chem. ... -
Development of a molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensor for tyrosinase
(Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey-TUBITAK, 2018)For the first time a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based sensor for tyrosinase is described. This sensor is based on the electropolymerization of scopoletin or o-phenylenediamine in the presence of tyrosinase from ... -
Molecular LEGO by domain-imprinting of cytochrome P450 BM3
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018)Hypothesis: Electrosynthesis of the MIP nano-film after binding of the separated domains or holocytochrome BM3 via an engineered anchor should result in domain-specific cavities in the polymer layer. Experiments: Both the ... -
Electrochemical MIP-sensors for drugs
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2018)In order to replace bio-macromolecules by stable synthetic materials in separation techniques and bioanalysis biomimetic receptors and catalysts have been developed: Functional monomers are polymerized together with the ... -
Electrosynthesized molecularly imprinted polymer for laccase using the inactivated enzyme as the target
(Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2018)The first molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for the recognition of the copper-enzyme laccase was successfully prepared by electropolymerizing scopoletin in the presence of alkaline-inactivated enzyme. Laccase-MIP and the ... -
Insights into the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases with molecular simulations: understanding the roles of artificial and pathological missense mutations in intrinsically disordered proteins related to pathology
(Mdpi, 2018)Amyloid-beta and alpha-synuclein are intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which are at the center of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease pathologies, respectively. These IDPs are extremely flexible and do not adopt ... -
