Continuous research is conducted to target disordered proteins/protein regions for cancer therapy, for which atomic level information is also necessary. The disordered N-terminal part of p53 contains the transactivation and the proline-rich domains—which besides being abundant in proline residues—contains repetitive Pro-Ala motifs. NMR assignment of such repetitive, proline-rich regions is challenging due to the lack of amide protons in the 1 H N -detected approaches, as well as due to the small chemical shift dispersion. In the present study we perform the full assignment of the p53 1–100 region by applying a combination of 1 H N - and 1 H α -detected NMR experiments. We also show the increased information content when using real-time homo- and heteronuclear decoupled acquisition schemes. On the other hand, we highlight the presence of minor proline species, and using Pro-selective experiments we determine the corresponding cis or trans conformation. Secondary chemical shifts for (C α –C β ) atoms indicate the disordered nature of this region, with expected helical tendency for the TAD1 region. As the role of the proline-rich domain is yet not well understood our results can contribute to further successful investigations.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1874-270X}, pages = {309-314}, orcid-numbers = {Sebák, Fanni/0000-0001-9252-9961; Ecsédi, Péter/0000-0002-4700-125X; Nyitray, László/0000-0003-4717-5994; Bodor, Andrea/0000-0002-7422-298X} } @article{MTMT:34087969, title = {3D cell segregation geometry and dynamics are governed by tissue surface tension regulation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34087969}, author = {Méhes, Előd and Mones, Enys and Varga, Máté and Zsigmond, Áron and Biri-Kovács, Beáta and Nyitray, László and Barone, Vanessa and Krens, Gabriel and Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp and Vicsek, Tamás}, doi = {10.1038/s42003-023-05181-7}, journal-iso = {COMMUN BIOL}, journal = {COMMUNICATIONS BIOLOGY}, volume = {6}, unique-id = {34087969}, abstract = {Tissue morphogenesis and patterning during development involve the segregation of cell types. Segregation is driven by differential tissue surface tensions generated by cell types through controlling cell-cell contact formation by regulating adhesion and actomyosin contractility-based cellular cortical tensions. We use vertebrate tissue cell types and zebrafish germ layer progenitors as in vitro models of 3-dimensional heterotypic segregation and developed a quantitative analysis of their dynamics based on 3D time-lapse microscopy. We show that general inhibition of actomyosin contractility by the Rho kinase inhibitor Y27632 delays segregation. Cell type-specific inhibition of non-muscle myosin2 activity by overexpression of myosin assembly inhibitor S100A4 reduces tissue surface tension, manifested in decreased compaction during aggregation and inverted geometry observed during segregation. The same is observed when we express a constitutively active Rho kinase isoform to ubiquitously keep actomyosin contractility high at cell-cell and cell-medium interfaces and thus overriding the interface-specific regulation of cortical tensions.

Among them, camelid immunoglobulins (IgG) differ from the canonical human IgG molecules, as their light chains are completely missing; thus, they have only variable domains on their heavy chains (VHHs). A single VHH domain, often called a nanobody, has favorable structural, biophysical, and functional features compared to canonical antibodies. Therefore, robust and efficient production protocols relying on recombinant technologies are in high demand. Here, by utilizing ecotin, an Escherichia coli protein, as a fusion partner, we present a bacterial expression system that allows an easy, fast, and cost-effective way to prepare nanobodies. Ecotin was used here as a periplasmic translocator and a passive refolding chaperone, which allowed us to reach high-yield production of nanobodies. We also present a new, easily applicable prokaryotic expression and purification method of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein for interaction assays. We demonstrate using ECD spectroscopy that the bacterially produced RBD is well-folded. The bacterially produced nanobody was shown to bind strongly to the recombinant RBD, with a Kd of 10 nM.
