Pharmacological reprogramming of macrophages through aptamiRs
(2020-03-05)
Nucleic acid-based molecules have certain advantages over conventional drugs or protein-based target approaches. Chemically synthetized nucleic acids-based molecules are known as aptamers. They are selected from a combinatorial ...
Molecular and biochemical studies of the Craterostigma plantagineum cell wall during dehydration and rehydration
(2020-02-17)
Craterostigma plantagineum belongs to the desiccation tolerant angiosperm plants. Upon dehydration leaves fold and the cells shrink which is reversed during rehydration. To understand this process changes in cell wall ......
Recognition of cytosolic 3´P DNA & The role of GCET2+ DCs in cross-presentation
(2020-04-01)
In mammalian cells, DNA is confined to the nucleus and mitochondria. Detection of DNA in other compartments like the cytoplasm indicates danger and infection. Our research group has previously discovered that 3´monophosphate ...
Biochemical and structural characterization of the NLRP3 inflammasome
(2020-02-13)
The innate immune system utilizes inflammasome proteins to recognize danger signals and to fight invading pathogens. To date, the most studied inflammasome protein is NLRP3 - a multidomain protein, composed of a N-terminal ...
Characterization of Ceramide synthase 2 dysfunctions caused by targeted mutations in transgenic mice
(2020-02-10)
Ceramide species are the precursor of sphingolipids, which serve as structural components of biological membranes or are bioactive molecules. In mammals, ceramides are synthesised by a family of ceramide synthases (CerS) ......
The enzyme HPGD is critical for regulatory T cell function in adipose tissue
(2020-02-06)
Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are essential for maintaining immune homeostasis. However, how Treg cells exert their function in tissue specific environments is often unknown. We have found ......
Locus coeruleus modulates locomotor activity via the medial septum and the diagonal band of Broca
(2020-10-02)
The locus coeruleus (LC) is positioned in the brainstem and one of the main sources of norepinephrine in the brain. With its projections throughout the whole brain, the LC plays an important role in regulating the general ...
Application of BioID to in vitro organelle and in vivo cell-type-specific proteomics
(2020-09-17)
A genetically modified biotin ligase BirA (Arg118Gly), termed BioID (BirA*), can be induced to add a reactive form of biotin to proximate proteins in the cytosol and nucleus. The biotinylated proteins can be purified and ......
Untersuchungen zur heterologen Biosynthese des seltenen kompatiblen Soluts Nε-Acetyl-β-Lysin
(2020-08-28)
Das Aminosäurederivat Nε-Acetyl-β-Lysin (NAβL) wird von methanogenen Archaeen und einigen Vertretern der Bakterien zur Anpassung an osmotischen Stress produziert. Bisher wurden vor allem die zur Produktion ......
Studies on the heterologous biosynthesis of the rare compatible solute Nε-acetyl-β-lysine
The amino acid derivative Nε-acetyl-β-lysine (NAβL) is produced by methanogenic ......
