Cell-free expression and in meso crystallisation of an integral membrane kinase for structure determination.

Cell. Mol. Life Sci. 71(24) , 4895-910, (2014)

Membrane proteins are key elements in cell physiology and drug targeting, but getting a high-resolution structure by crystallographic means is still enormously challenging. Novel strategies are in big demand to facilitate the structure determination process t...

BGLF4 kinase modulates the structure and transport preference of the nuclear pore complex to facilitate nuclear import of Epstein-Barr virus lytic proteins.

J. Virol. 89(3) , 1703-18, (2015)

BGLF4 kinase, the only Ser/Thr protein kinase encoded by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome, phosphorylates multiple viral and cellular substrates to optimize the cellular environment for viral DNA replication and the nuclear egress of nucleocapsids. Previou...

Blood pressure-lowering peptides from neo-fermented buckwheat sprouts: a new approach to estimating ACE-inhibitory activity.

PLoS ONE 9(9) , e105802, (2014)

Neo-fermented buckwheat sprouts (neo-FBS) contain angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and vasodilators with blood pressure-lowering (BPL) properties in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). In this study, we investigated antihypertensive mechanis...

An in vitro assay to study chikungunya virus RNA synthesis and the mode of action of inhibitors.

J. Gen. Virol. 95(Pt 12) , 2683-92, (2014)

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging mosquito-borne alphavirus that causes severe persistent arthralgia. To better understand the molecular details of CHIKV RNA synthesis and the mode of action of inhibitors, we have developed an in vitro assay to study...

Investigating the association between polymorphisms in connective tissue growth factor and susceptibility to colon carcinoma.

Mol. Med. Report. 11(4) , 2493-503, (2015)

There have been numerous studies on the gene expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in colorectal cancer, however very few have investigated polymorphisms in this gene. The present study aimed to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms...

Involvement of de novo synthesized palmitate and mitochondrial EGFR in EGF induced mitochondrial fusion of cancer cells.

Cell Cycle 13(15) , 2415-30, (2014)

Increased expressions of fatty acid synthase (FASN) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are common in cancer cells. De novo synthesis of palmitate by FASN is critical for the survival of cancer cells via mechanisms independent of its role as an energy...

RNA virus replication depends on enrichment of phosphatidylethanolamine at replication sites in subcellular membranes.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 112(14) , E1782-91, (2015)

Intracellular membranes are critical for replication of positive-strand RNA viruses. To dissect the roles of various lipids, we have developed an artificial phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) vesicle-based Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) replication assay. We demo...

Proapoptotic PEDF functional peptides inhibit prostate tumor growth--a mechanistic study.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 92(3) , 425-37, (2014)

PEDF inhibits tumor growth via anti-angiogenic activity; however, the direct effect of PEDF on prostate carcinoma and its functional epitope as well as the underlying mechanism regulating the pathway from extracellular receptors to nuclear transcription facto...

Characterization of functional, noncovalently assembled zinc finger nucleases.

Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 453(3) , 289-95, (2014)

Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) is a chimeric restriction enzyme made of a C2H2-type zinc finger protein (ZFP) and the FokI nuclease domain (FN). ZFN technology has been considered as a powerful tool for genome editing. Here, we report a new type of ZFN system bas...

Association of histamine N-methyltransferase Thr105Ile polymorphism with Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia in Han Chinese: a case-control study.

PLoS ONE 10(3) , e0119692, (2015)

Parkinson's disease (PD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) are frequent central nervous disorders that have unclear etiologies but that show similarities in their pathogenesis. Since elevated histamine levels in the brain have been associated with PD and SCZ, we wanted...
