  1. LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY ANALYSIS OF POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATIONS TO HMGB1 AND ITS REGULATED SECRETION IN LUNG CANCER

    … modification (PTM), particularly acetylation and oxidation, mediate HMGB1 release and confer distinct extracellular HMGB1 signaling activity. However, the regulation of HMGB1 subcellular mobility in lung cancer by PTMs has not yet been established. To this end, a methodology was developed to …

    … normal levels of cystine, the oxidized dimer of cysteine, in melanosomes, and to produce cysteinyldopas, the precursors of pheomelanin synthesis made in melanosomes via cysteine oxidation. Tracing and biochemical analyses show that MFSD12 is necessary for the import of cysteine into melanosomes, …

  4. An investigation into the desensitization of neurotransmitter gated ion channels — functional relevance, impact on ganglionic receptor function, and structural insights

    … ganglia. Previously, it had been proposed that oxidation of an intracellular cysteine is fundamentally critical in the mechanism of this unusual desensitization; in the work presented in Chapter III, we found that this cysteine oxidation hypothesis cannot explain our results, implying that the …

  5. Toward Engineering Oxygenase Activity into the Electron Transfer Protein Azurin

    … design, as precise knowledge and control of cysteine oxidation state is an important parameter in dictating function in cysteine-containing native and designed peptides and proteins. In Chapter 3, a series of Type-2 azurin variants is reported in which the anionic redox ‘chameleon’ Cys-112 is …
