A slow but steady nanoLuc: R162A mutation results in a decreased, but stable, nanoLuc activity by Wesam S. Ahmed (10170053)

“…However, questions related to its mechanism of interaction with the substrate, furimazine, as well as bioluminescence activity remain elusive. Here, we combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and mutational analysis to show that the R162A mutation results in a decreased but stable <u>bioluminescence </u>activity of NLuc in living cells and in vitro. …”

Notch Signaling Inhibition by LY411575 Attenuates Osteoblast Differentiation and Decreased Ectopic Bone Formation Capacity of Human Skeletal (Mesenchymal) Stem Cells by Nihal AlMuraikhi (6002234)

“…Among the tested molecules, LY411575, a potent γ-secretase and Notch signaling inhibitor, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on osteoblastic differentiation of hBMSCs manifested by reduced ALP activity, mineralized matrix formation, and decreased osteoblast-specific gene expression as well as in vivo ectopic bone formation. …”

The Anti-Tumor Agent Sodium Selenate Decreases Methylated PP2A, Increases GSK3βY216 Phosphorylation, Including Tau Disease Epitopes and Reduces Neuronal Excitability in SHSY-5Y Neu... by Wesal Habbab (17346961)

“…Somewhat surprisingly, the catalytically active form, methylated PP2A (mePP2A) was significantly decreased. In close correlation to these data, the phosphorylation state of two substrate proteins, sensitive to PP2A activity, GSK3β and Tau were found to be increased. …”

Life-threatening arrhythmogenic CaM mutations disrupt CaM binding to a distinct RyR2 CaM-binding pocket by Angelos, Thanassoulas

“…Moreover, our isothermal titration calorimetry ITC data suggest that RyR2 3584-3602aa and 4255-4271aa regions interact with significant affinity with wild-type CaM, in the presence and absence of Ca2+, two regions that might contribute to a putative intra-subunit CaM-binding pocket. …”

Arrhythmia-Associated Calmodulin E105A Mutation Alters the Binding Affinity of CaM to a Ryanodine Receptor 2 CaM-Binding Pocket by Angelos Thanassoulas (2822861)

“…We then performed ITC experiments to investigate and compare the interactions of CaMWT and CaME105A mutant protein with two synthetic peptides that correspond to the two aforementioned human RyR2 regions, which we have proposed to contribute to the RyR2 CaM-binding pocket. Our data reveal that the E105A mutation has a significant negative effect on the interaction of CaM with both RyR2 regions in the presence and absence of Ca²⁺, highlighting the potential contribution of these two human RyR2 regions to an RyR2 CaM-binding pocket, which may be essential for physiological CaM/RyR2 association and thus channel regulation.…”
