NMR structure of the cathelicidin-derived human antimicrobial peptide LL-37 in dodecylphosphocholine micelles

F Porcelli, R Verardi, L Shi, KA Henzler-Wildman… - Biochemistry, 2008 - ACS Publications
LL-37 is the only cathelicidin-derived polypeptide found in humans. Its eclectic function
makes this peptide one of the most intriguing chemical defense agents, with crucial roles in …

Fatty acyl recognition and transfer by an integral membrane S-acyltransferase

MS Rana, P Kumar, CJ Lee, R Verardi… - Science, 2018 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Hundreds of cellular proteins are modified by posttranslational S-acylation
of cysteines, commonly known as protein palmitoylation. Unlike other lipid attachments, …

Structure and topology of monomeric phospholamban in lipid membranes determined by a hybrid solution and solid-state NMR approach

NJ Traaseth, L Shi, R Verardi… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Phospholamban (PLN) is an essential regulator of cardiac muscle contractility. The
homopentameric assembly of PLN is the reservoir for active monomers that, upon deoligomerization …

Structural topology of phospholamban pentamer in lipid bilayers by a hybrid solution and solid-state NMR method

R Verardi, L Shi, NJ Traaseth… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Phospholamban (PLN) is a type II membrane protein that inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA), thereby regulating calcium homeostasis in cardiac muscle. In …

Allosteric regulation of SERCA by phosphorylation-mediated conformational shift of phospholamban

M Gustavsson, R Verardi, DG Mullen… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
The membrane protein complex between the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA)
and phospholamban (PLN) controls Ca 2+ transport in cardiomyocytes, thereby …

[HTML][HTML] A platform incorporating trimeric antigens into self-assembling nanoparticles reveals SARS-CoV-2-spike nanoparticles to elicit substantially higher …

…, A Pegu, E Phung, GBE Stewart-Jones, R Verardi… - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
Antigens displayed on self-assembling nanoparticles can stimulate strong immune responses
and have been playing an increasingly prominent role in structure-based vaccines. …

Structural and Dynamic Basis of Phospholamban and Sarcolipin Inhibition of Ca2+-ATPase

NJ Traaseth, KN Ha, R Verardi, L Shi, JJ Buffy… - Biochemistry, 2008 - ACS Publications
Phospholamban (PLN) and sarcolipin (SLN) are two single-pass membrane proteins that
regulate Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA), an ATP-driven pump that translocates calcium ions into the …

Isotope labeling for solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy of membrane proteins

R Verardi, NJ Traaseth, LR Masterson… - Isotope labeling in …, 2012 - Springer
In this chapter, we summarize the isotopic labeling strategies used to obtain high-quality
solution and solid-state NMR spectra of biological samples, with emphasis on integral …

Spectroscopic validation of the pentameric structure of phospholamban

NJ Traaseth, R Verardi, KD Torgersen… - Proceedings of the …, 2007 - National Acad Sciences
Phospholamban (PLN) regulates calcium translocation within cardiac myocytes by shifting
sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA) affinity for calcium. Although the …

[PDF][PDF] Longitudinal analysis reveals early development of three MPER-directed neutralizing antibody lineages from an HIV-1-infected individual

…, T Stephens, Y Tsybovsky, C Tucker, R Verardi… - Immunity, 2019 - cell.com
Lineage-based vaccine design is an attractive approach for eliciting broadly neutralizing
antibodies (bNAbs) against HIV-1. However, most bNAb lineages studied to date have features …
