Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid selection of cyclic peptides that reduce alpha-synuclein toxicity in yeast and animal models.

TL;DR: This work describes the first expressed library of head-to-tail cyclic peptides in yeast, which specifically reduce the toxicity of human α-synuclein and prevents dopaminergic neuron loss in an established Caenorhabditis elegans Parkinson’s model.
Journal ArticleDOI

cDNA cloning, expression, mutagenesis, intracellular localization, and gene chromosomal assignment of mouse 5-lipoxygenase.

TL;DR: It was determined that a single isoform accounts for both soluble and membrane-bound and nuclear and cytosolic-localized enzyme in macrophages and BMMC and raises questions about the role of 5-lipoxygenase and leukotrienes within the nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a Chitinase-modifying Protein from Fusarium verticillioides TRUNCATION OF A HOST RESISTANCE PROTEIN BY A FUNGALYSIN METALLOPROTEASE

TL;DR: This is the first report of a fungalysin that targets a nonstructural host protein and the first to implicate this class of virulence-related proteases in plant disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of antibacterial cyclic peptides that inhibit the ClpXP protease

TL;DR: Fluorescence activated cell sorting was used in conjunction with a fluorescent reporter to isolate cyclic peptides that inhibit the proteolysis of tmRNA‐tagged proteins in Escherichia coli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosomal Deletion Formation System Based on Tn5 Double Transposition: Use For Making Minimal Genomes and Essential Gene Analysis

TL;DR: The use of specialized transposons (Tn5 derivatives) to create deletions in the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome provides a robust technology for identifying essential and dispensable genes.
