Defective recognition of LC3B by mutant SQSTM1/p62 implicates impairment of autophagy as a pathogenic mechanism in ALS-FTLD.

TL;DR: It is shown that although representing a conservative substitution and predicted to be benign, the ALS-associated L341V mutation of SQSTM1 is defective in recognition of LC3B, a key protein-protein interaction in autophagy which could expose a vulnerability over the lifetime of a neuron, which ultimately tips the balance from cell survival toward cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
NMR as a probe of nanostructured domains in ionic liquids: Does domain segregation explain increased performance of free radical polymerisation?
Simon Puttick,Adrienne L. Davis,Kevin Butler,Lynette K. Lambert,Jaouad El harfi,Derek J. Irvine,Andrew K. Whittaker,Kristofer J. Thurecht,Peter Licence +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative use of the distance dependence of the rotating frame Overhauser enhancement (ROE) has shown that reactants and intermediates have variable affinities for the distinct domains that are proposed within ionic liquids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of domain segregation in ionic liquids upon controlled polymerisation mechanisms: RAFT polymerisation
Simon Puttick,Adrienne L. Davis,Kevin Butler,Derek J. Irvine,Peter Licence,Kristofer J. Thurecht +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how the domain-like structure of ionic liquids affects the kinetics and products of the reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) controlled free radical polymerisation (FRP) of methyl methacrylate in a number of room temperature ionic liquid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of Aldoses to Valuable ω-Amino Alcohols Using Amine Transaminase Biocatalysts
Ryan Cairns,Andrew Gomm,James Ryan,Thomas A. Clarke,Evelina Kulcinskaja,Kevin Butler,Elaine O'Reilly +6 more
TL;DR: A previously undescribed example of the direct amination of monosaccharides, which exist predominantly in their cyclic form at equilibrium, using amine transaminase biocatalysts, providing access to a panel of amino alcohols in moderate to high conversion and isolated yield is reported.
