Cryo-EM and Molecular Dynamics of TRPV3 Channel in Activated State Reveal Structural Features Implicated in Severe Itch and Hyperkeratosis

research 738 Cryo-EM and molecular dynamics of TRPV3 channel in activated state reveal structural features implicated in severe itch and hyperkeratosis

April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study suggests that structural changes in the TRPV3 channel are linked to severe skin conditions like Olmsted syndrome, with differences observed between heat-activated and resting states.

Type I Keratin 17 Protein Is Phosphorylated on Serine 44 by p90 Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinase 1 in a Growth- and Stress-Dependent Fashion

research Type I Keratin 17 Protein Is Phosphorylated on Serine 44 by p90 Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinase 1 (RSK1) in a Growth- and Stress-dependent Fashion

30 citations , December 2011 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry”

This study found that serine 44 in the N-terminal head domain of keratin 17 is phosphorylated in response to various stimuli affecting skin keratinocyte growth, linking K17 up-regulation with growth and stress responses in skin epithelium.

Tracing Selection Signatures in the Pig Genome Provides Evidence for Selective Pressures on a Unique Curly Hair Phenotype in Mangalitza

research Tracing selection signatures in the pig genome gives evidence for selective pressures on a unique curly hair phenotype in Mangalitza

8 citations , December 2020 in “Scientific reports”

This study examined the genetic basis for the curly hair trait in Mangalitza pigs, finding two specific genetic variants that contribute to this distinctive phenotype through autosomal dominant inheritance.

The Chicken Frizzle Feather Is Due to an Alpha-Keratin (KRT75) Mutation That Causes a Defective Rachis

research The Chicken Frizzle Feather Is Due to an α-Keratin (KRT75) Mutation That Causes a Defective Rachis

99 citations , July 2012 in “PLoS Genetics”

This study identified a 69 bp deletion in the KRT75 gene as the cause of the frizzle feather trait in chickens, affecting feather curling.

Fibrous Papule of the Face, Similar to Tuberous Sclerosis Complex-Associated Angiofibroma, Shows Activation of the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Pathway: Evidence for a Novel Therapeutic Strategy?

research Fibrous Papule of the Face, Similar to Tuberous Sclerosis Complex-Associated Angiofibroma, Shows Activation of the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Pathway: Evidence for a Novel Therapeutic Strategy?

12 citations , February 2014 in “PLoS ONE”

This study observed high expression of mTOR pathway effectors in fibrous papules and TSC-associated angiofibromas, suggesting that topical rapamycin might be an effective treatment for fibrous papules.
