Design of protein-interaction specificity gives selective bZIP-binding peptides

G Grigoryan, AW Reinke, AE Keating - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Interaction specificity is a required feature of biological networks and a necessary characteristic
of protein or small-molecule reagents and therapeutics. The ability to alter or inhibit …

A synthetic coiled-coil interactome provides heterospecific modules for molecular engineering

AW Reinke, RA Grant, AE Keating - Journal of the American …, 2010 - ACS Publications
The versatile coiled-coil protein motif is widely used to induce and control macromolecular
interactions in biology and materials science. Yet the types of interaction patterns that can be …

Networks of bZIP protein-protein interactions diversified over a billion years of evolution

AW Reinke, J Baek, O Ashenberg, AE Keating - Science, 2013 - science.org
Differences in biomolecular sequence and function underlie dramatic ranges of appearance
and behavior among species. We studied the basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP) …

A comprehensive survey of C. elegans argonaute proteins reveals organism-wide gene regulatory networks and functions

…, W Zhao, AE Sundby, AG Charlesworth, AW Reinke… - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Argonaute (AGO) proteins associate with small RNAs to direct their effector function on
complementary transcripts. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans contains an expanded family …

Combinatorial bZIP dimers display complex DNA-binding specificity landscapes

JA Rodríguez-Martínez, AW Reinke, D Bhimsaria… - elife, 2017 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.19272.001 How transcription factor dimerization impacts DNA-binding
specificity is poorly understood. Guided by protein dimerization properties, we examined DNA …

[HTML][HTML] Evolution of microsporidia: An extremely successful group of eukaryotic intracellular parasites

L Wadi, AW Reinke - PLoS pathogens, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites that can infect a wide range of hosts. They
cause death and disease in both humans and agriculturally important animals. They have …

bZIP transcription factors affecting secondary metabolism, sexual development and stress responses in Aspergillus nidulans

WB Yin, AW Reinke, M Szilagyi, T Emri… - …, 2013 - microbiologyresearch.org
The eukaryotic basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors play critical roles in the
organismal response to the environment. Recently, a novel YAP-like bZIP, restorer of secondary …

[HTML][HTML] Identification of microsporidia host-exposed proteins reveals a repertoire of rapidly evolving proteins

AW Reinke, KM Balla, EJ Bennett… - Nature communications, 2017 - nature.com
Pathogens use a variety of secreted and surface proteins to interact with and manipulate their
hosts, but a systematic approach for identifying such proteins has been lacking. To identify …

The ins and outs of host‐microsporidia interactions during invasion, proliferation and exit

H Tamim El Jarkass, AW Reinke - Cellular Microbiology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Microsporidia are a large group of fungal‐related obligate intracellular parasites. They are
responsible for infections in humans as well as in agriculturally and environmentally important …

Generation of a microsporidia species attribute database and analysis of the extensive ecological and phenotypic diversity of microsporidia

BM Murareanu, R Sukhdeo, R Qu, J Jiang, AW Reinke - MBio, 2021 - Am Soc Microbiol
Microsporidia are a large group of fungus-related obligate intracellular parasites. Though
many microsporidia species have been identified over the past 160 years, depiction of the full …
