Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism-based corrector combination restores ΔF508-CFTR folding and function
Tsukasa Okiyoneda,Guido Veit,Johanna F. Dekkers,Miklós Bagdány,Naoto Soya,Haijin Xu,Ariel Roldan,Alan S. Verkman,Mark J. Kurth,Ágnes Simon,Tamás Hegedus,Jeffrey M. Beekman,Gergely L. Lukacs +12 more
TL;DR: The molecular targets of available correctors are elucidated: class I stabilizes the NBD1-MSD1 and N BD1- MSD2 interfaces, and class II targets NBD2, which stabilizes human ΔF508-NBD1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of parkin activation by phosphorylation.
Véronique Sauvé,George Sung,Naoto Soya,Guennadi Kozlov,Nina Blaimschein,Lis Schwartz Miotto,Jean-François Trempe,Gergely L. Lukacs,Kalle Gehring +8 more
TL;DR: The mechanism of parkin activation by phosphorylation is described and previously unexplained Parkinson’s disease mutations and the presence of internal linkers that allow large domain movements in parkin are rationalized.
Journal ArticleDOI
PINK1 autophosphorylation is required for ubiquitin recognition.
Shafqat Rasool,Naoto Soya,Luc Truong,Nathalie Croteau,Gergely L. Lukacs,Jean-François Trempe +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that autophosphorylation of Tribolium castaneum PINK1 is required for substrate recognition, and it is suggested that multiple Pink1 molecules autoph phosphorylate first prior to binding and phosphorylating ubiquitin and Parkin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trapping and characterization of covalent intermediates of mutant retaining glycosyltransferases
TL;DR: Direct detection of covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediates for mutants of two model retaining GTs, the human blood group synthesizing α-(1 → 3)-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GTA) and α-Galactosyl transferase (GTB) mutants, by mass spectrometry (MS) is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature-dependent cooperativity in donor-acceptor substrate binding to the human blood group glycosyltransferases.
TL;DR: Differences in the DeltaH (a) and DeltaS(a) values determined in the presence and absence of bound UDP are attributed to structural changes in the glycosyltransferases induced by the simultaneous binding of 1 and UDP.
