Molecular evolution of multiple-level control of heme biosynthesis pathway in animal kingdom
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Adaptation of enzymes in a metabolic pathway can occur not only through changes in amino acid sequences but also through variations in transcriptional activation, mRNA splicing and mRNA translation. The ...
Impedimetric antimicrobial peptide-based sensor for the early detection of periodontopathogenic bacteria
(Elsevier, 2016-12-15)
Peri-implantitis, an inflammation caused by biofilm formation, constitutes a major cause of implant failure in dentistry. Thus, the detection of bacteria at the early steps of biofilm growth represents ...
Unliganded progesterone receptor governs estrogen receptor gene expression by regulating DNA methylation in breast cancer cells
(MDPI, 2018)
Breast cancer prognosis and response to endocrine therapy strongly depends on the expression of the estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR, respectively). Although much is known about ERα gene ...
Caracterización molecular de nuevos substratos de la CDK Pho85
(Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, 2013-07-29)
La ciclina Cln3 es un activador crítico de START, cuya sobreexpresión provoca células de menor tamaño que progresan rápidamente por el ciclo celular, mientras que su deleción induce un mayor tamaño de ...
ADP-ribose–derived nuclear ATP synthesis by NUDIX5 is required for chromatin remodeling
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016)
Key nuclear processes in eukaryotes, including DNA replication, repair, and gene regulation, require extensive chromatin remodeling catalyzed by energy-consuming enzymes. It remains unclear how the ATP ...
Functional characterization of a novel non-coding mutation “Ghent +49A > G” in the iron-responsive element of L-ferritin causing hereditary hyperferritinaemia-cataract syndrome
(Springer Nature, 2017)
Hereditary hyperferritinaemia-cataract syndrome (HHCS) is a rare disorder usually caused by heterozygous mutations in the iron-responsive element (IRE) in the 5′ untranslated region (5′UTR) of the ...
Novel mutations in the ferritin-L iron-responsive element that only mildly impair IRP binding cause hereditary hyperferritinaemia cataract syndrome
(Springer Nature, 2013)
Background: Hereditary Hyperferritinaemia Cataract Syndrome (HHCS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by increased serum ferritin levels and early onset of bilateral cataract. The disease ...
Mimicking bone extracellular matrix: integrin-binding peptidomimetics enhance osteoblast-like cells adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation on titanium
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)
Interaction between the surface of implants and biological tissues is a key aspect of biomaterials research. Apart from fulfilling the non-toxicity and structural requirements, synthetic materials are ...
The IronChip evaluation package: a package of perl modules for robust analysis of custom microarrays
(Springer Nature, 2010)
Background: Gene expression studies greatly contribute to our understanding of complex relationships in gene regulatory networks. However, the complexity of array design, production and manipulations ...
Simulation methods with extended stability for stiff biochemical Kinetics
(Springer Nature, 2010)
Background: With increasing computer power, simulating the dynamics of complex systems in chemistry and biology is becoming increasingly routine. The modelling of individual reactions in (bio)chemical ...
