Targeted rescue of a destabilized mutant of p53 by an in silico screened drug

…, TJ Rutherford, DB Veprintsev… - Proceedings of the …, 2008 - National Acad Sciences
The tumor suppressor p53 is mutationally inactivated in ≈50% of human cancers. Approximately
one-third of the mutations lower the melting temperature of the protein, leading to its …

Universal allosteric mechanism for Gα activation by GPCRs

…, M Kayikci, CG Tate, DB Veprintsev… - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) allosterically activate heterotrimeric G proteins and
trigger GDP release. Given that there are ∼800 human GPCRs and 16 different Gα genes, this …

[HTML][HTML] Hsp90-Tau complex reveals molecular basis for specificity in chaperone action

…, M Radli, T Didenko, BA Nordhues, DB Veprintsev… - Cell, 2014 - cell.com
Protein folding in the cell relies on the orchestrated action of conserved families of molecular
chaperones, the Hsp70 and Hsp90 systems. Hsp70 acts early and Hsp90 late in the folding …

Diverse activation pathways in class A GPCRs converge near the G-protein-coupling region

…, T Flock, T Miljus, S Balaji, M Bouvier, DB Veprintsev… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of membrane proteins that
mediate a wide variety of physiological functions, including vision, neurotransmission and …

[HTML][HTML] GPCR activation mechanisms across classes and macro/microscales

…, C Munk, FM Heydenreich, DB Veprintsev… - Nature structural & …, 2021 - nature.com
Two-thirds of human hormones and one-third of clinical drugs activate ~350 G-protein-coupled
receptors (GPCR) belonging to four classes: A, B1, C and F. Whereas a model of …

A peptide that binds and stabilizes p53 core domain: chaperone strategy for rescue of oncogenic mutants

…, LO Hansson, DB Veprintsev… - Proceedings of the …, 2002 - National Acad Sciences
Conformationally compromised oncogenic mutants of the tumor suppressor protein p53 can,
in principle, be rescued by small molecules that bind the native, but not the denatured state. …

Cooperative binding of tetrameric p53 to DNA

RL Weinberg, DB Veprintsev, AR Fersht - Journal of molecular biology, 2004 - Elsevier
We analysed by analytical ultracentrifugation and fluorescence anisotropy the binding of p53
truncation mutants to sequence-specific DNA. The synthetic 30 base-pair DNA oligomers …

[HTML][HTML] ESCRT-I core and ESCRT-II GLUE domain structures reveal role for GLUE in linking to ESCRT-I and membranes

H Teo, DJ Gill, J Sun, O Perisic, DB Veprintsev, Y Vallis… - Cell, 2006 - cell.com
ESCRT complexes form the main machinery driving protein sorting from endosomes to
lysosomes. Currently, the picture regarding assembly of ESCRTs on endosomes is incomplete. …

Comparative binding of p53 to its promoter and DNA recognition elements

RL Weinberg, DB Veprintsev, M Bycroft… - Journal of molecular …, 2005 - Elsevier
Tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that transactivates a wide range of genes,
including those in DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and its own degradation. To estimate …

Proteins of the S100 family regulate the oligomerization of p53 tumor suppressor

…, DB Veprintsev… - Proceedings of the …, 2005 - National Acad Sciences
S100B protein is elevated in the brains of patients with early stages of Alzheimer's disease
and Down's syndrome. S100A4 is correlated with the development of metastasis. Both …
