Kallikrein-related peptidase's significance in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis: A comprehensive survey
Biochimie. 2024 Apr 10:S0300-9084(24)00076-2. doi: 10.1016/j.biochi.2024.04.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias constitute an important global health challenge. Detailed understanding of the multiple molecular mechanisms underlying their pathogenesis constitutes a clue for the management of the disease. Kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs), a lead family of serine proteases, have emerged as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the context of AD and associated cognitive decline. Hence, KLKs were proposed to display multifaceted impacts influencing various aspects of n...

NADPH OXIDASE-GENERATED REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES ARE INVOLVED IN ESTRADIOL 17 ß-d-GLUCURONIDE-INDUCED CHOLESTASIS
Biochimie. 2024 Apr 10:S0300-9084(24)00077-4. doi: 10.1016/j.biochi.2024.04.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe endogenous metabolite of estradiol, estradiol 17β-D-glucuronide (E17G), is considered the main responsible of the intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. E17G alters the activity of canalicular transporters through a signaling pathway-dependent cellular internalization, phenomenon that was attributed to oxidative stress in different cholestatic conditions. However, there are no reports involving oxidative stress in E17G-induced cholestasis, representing this the aim of our work. Using polarized hepatocyte cult...

Galactokinase-like protein from Leishmania donovani: Biochemical and structural characterization of a recombinant protein
Biochimie. 2024 Apr 4;223:31-40. doi: 10.1016/j.biochi.2024.03.017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLeishmaniasis is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the protozoan Leishmania spp. parasites. Leishmaniasis is endemic in 98 countries around the world, and resistance to current anti-leishmanial drugs is rising. Our work has identified and characterised a previously unstudied galactokinase-like protein (GalK) in Leishmania donovani, which catalyses the MgATP-dependent phosphorylation of the C-1 hydroxyl group of d-galactose to galactose-1-phosphate. Here, we report the production of the catalytically active reco...

Cathepsin D inhibition during neuronal differentiation selectively affects individual proteins instead of overall protein turnover
Biochimie. 2024 Mar 27:S0300-9084(24)00071-3. doi: 10.1016/j.biochi.2024.03.013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCathepsin D (CTSD) is a lysosomal aspartic protease and its inherited deficiency causes a severe pediatric neurodegenerative disease called neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) type 10. The lysosomal dysfunction in the affected patients leads to accumulation of undigested lysosomal cargo especially in none-dividing cells, such as neurons, resulting in death shortly after birth. To explore which proteins are mainly affected by the lysosomal dysfunction due to CTSD deficiency, Lund human mesencephalic (LUHMES) cells...
