    Abstract Malaria is a widespread and lethal disease caused by the Plasmodium parasites that can infect human beings through Anopheles mosquitoes. For that reason, the biology of Plasmodium needs to be studied to develop antimalarial treatments. By determining the three-dimensional structures of macromolecules, structural biology helps to understand the function of proteins and can reveal how interactions occur between biological partners. Here, we studied the ZNHIT3 and NUFIP1 proteins from Plasmodium falciparum, two proteins tightly linked to the ribosome biology. Due to their important functions in post-translational modifications of ribosomal RNAs and in ribophagy, these proteins participate in the survival of cells. In this study, we solved the three-dimensional structure of a thermally stable and species-dependent complex between fragments of these proteins. Our results were compared to the AlphaFold predictions, which motivated the study of the free ZNHIT3 fragment that binds NUFIP1. We showed that the latter fragment multimerized in vitro but also had the inner ability to change its conformation to escape the solvent exposition of key hydrophobic residues involved in the interaction with NUFIP1. Our data could open the gate to selective drug discovery processes involving these two proteins.

    Abstract Peroxiredoxins from the Prx1 subfamily (Prx) are highly regulated multifunctional proteins involved in oxidative stress response, redox signaling and cell protection. Prx is a homodimer that associates into a decamer. The monomer C-terminus plays intricate roles in Prx catalytic functions, decamer stability and interaction with its redox partner, the small reductase sulfiredoxin (Srx), that regulates the switching between Prx cellular functions. As only static structures of covalent Prx-Srx complexes have been reported, whether Srx binding dissociates the decameric assembly and how Prx subunit flexibility impacts complex formation are unknown. Here, we assessed the non-covalent interaction mechanism and dynamics in the solution of

    Abstract The synthesis of biomimetic helical secondary structures is sought after for the construction of innovative nanomaterials and applications in medicinal chemistry such as the development of protein–protein interaction modulators. Peptoids, a sequence-defined family of oligomers, enable a peptidomimetic strategy, especially considering the easily accessible monomer diversity and peptoid helical folding propensity. However, cis–trans isomerization of the backbone tertiary amides may impair the peptoid’s adoption of stable secondary structures, notably the all-cis polyproline I-like helical conformation. Here, we show that cis-inducing NtBu achiral monomers strategically positioned within chiral sequences may reinforce the degree of peptoid helicity, although with a reduced content of chiral side chains. The design principles presented here will undoubtedly help achieve more conformationally stable helical peptoids with desired functions.

    Abstract Camelid α-lactalbumin is the only known protein that can undergo nonenzymatic deamidation on two Asn residues. This leads to the generation of a mixture of unusual isoAsp and d-Asp residues that may impact health. The effect of deamidation on camel α-lactalbumin instability was investigated. Circular dichroism showed that the altered protein acquired secondary structure resulting in an increase in α-helix content. In good agreement, the 3D structure of camel α-lactalbumin determined by X-ray crystallography, displayed a short additional α-helix probably induced by deamidation, compared to the human and bovine counterparts. This α-helix was located in the C-terminal region and included residues 101–106. Differential scanning calorimetry together with the susceptibility to thermolysin showed that the deamidation process reinforced the structural stability of the α-lactalbumin at high temperature and its resistance toward proteolysis.

    Abstract Background: Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) enzyme is an emerging therapeutic target in oncology and hematology. Although PDI reductase activity has been studied with isolated fragments of the protein, natural structural variations affecting reductase activity have not been addressed.
    Methods: In this study, we discovered four coding splice variants of the Pdi pre-mRNA in rats. In vitro Michaelis constants and apparent maximum steady-state rate constants after purification and distribution in different rat tissues were determined.
    Results: The consensus sequence was found to be the most expressed splice variant while the second most expressed variant represents 15 to 35% of total Pdi mRNA. The third variant shows a quasi-null expression profile and the fourth was not quantifiable. The consensus sequence splice variant and the second splice variant are widely expressed (transcription level) in the liver and even more present in males. Measurements of the reductase activity of recombinant PDI indicate that the consensus sequence and third splice variant are fully active variants. The second most expressed variant, differing by a lack of signal peptide, was found active but less than the consensus sequence.
    General significance: Our work emphasizes the importance of taking splice variants into account when studying PDI-like proteins to understand the full biological functionalities of PDI.
