(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 14.03.2014)Ceramides comprise a class of sphingolipids that exist only in small amounts in cellular membranes, but which have been associated with important roles in cellular signaling processes. The influences that ceramides have ... -
Met1-ubiquitination determines inflammatory signalling in Drosophila melanogaster
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 15.06.2022)The innate immune response is an immediate immune response facilitated by the host to combat pathogen invasion and other harmful stimuli, such as damaged cells and environmental irritants. It is activated when pattern-recognising ... -
Models to study intermediate filament dynamics and functions
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 08.01.2016)Intermediate filaments are part of the cytoskeleton and nucleoskeleton; they provide cells with structure and have important roles in cell signalling. The IFs are a large protein family with more than 70 members; each ... -
Molecular Basis of the Sticholysin-Membrane Interaction : On the Structure of the Pore and the Effects of Lipids
(Åbo Akademi University Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 18.06.2021)The usefulness of toxicity across the tree of life is far beyond doubt. Most, if not all, organisms produce compounds that can be used for attack and/or defense against external entities. Some of the most specialized of ... -
Moving lipids : ceramides, glycosphingolipids and the glycolipid transfer protein
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 20.05.2016)Lipid movement in cells occurs by a variety of methods. Lipids diffuse freely along the lateral plane of a membrane and can translocate between the lipid leaflets, either spontaneously or with the help of enzymes. Lipid ... -
Muscarinic toxins : characterization of adrenoceptor binding and applicability of membrane anchoring via glycosylphosphatidylinositol tail
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 31.01.2014)Adrenoceptors (ARs), G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) at the plasma membrane, respond to endogenous catecholamines noradrenaline and adrenaline. These receptors mediate several important physiological functions being ... -
Nanoclustering augmentation : a novel mechanism of Ras activation in cancer
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 12.02.2016)Proteins of the Ras family are central regulators of crucial cellular processes, such as proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Their importance is emphasized in cancer, in which the isoforms H-ras, N-ras and K-ras ... -
Nanoparticles as Targeting System for Cancer Treatment : From idea towards reality
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 20.09.2019)To be able to target cells of interest is one of the key aims in medicine today, because it could minimize side effects of drugs. This is of special importance in cancer therapies, were the treatment has serious side-effects ... -
Networking Notch : regulation of Notch traffic and signaling crosstalk

Novel cancer-related regulatory targets for the signalling sphingolipids sphingosine-1-phosphate and sphingosylphosphorylcholine
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 29.04.2016)The signalling sphingolipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is necessary for development of the immune system and vasculature and on a cellular level regulates migration, proliferation and survival. Due to these traits S1P ... -
On the Evolution, Function and Pathogenesis of Intermediate Filaments
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 02.06.2017)Intermediärfilament (IF) är nukleära och cytoplasmiska strukturprotein. I människans genom ingår 70 gener som kodar för 74 hittills kända intermediärfilament. Mutationer i dessa gener orsakar många allvarliga sjukdomar. ... -
Phosphorylation as a mediator of protein function in cell migration, differentiation, and death : vimentin, AATF, and Par-4 in the spotlight
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 11.11.2016)Protein phosphorylation is a major regulator of cellular signaling. It functions when a kinase joins a phosphate group to a protein, or when a phosphatase strips off a phosphate group from serine, threonine, or tyrosine ... -
Prediction of 3D structure and ligand-binding properties : ABC transporters and flavodiiron proteins from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803
