Published in 2025 at "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2426632122

Abstract: Significance Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7), a deubiquitinating enzyme linked to cancers and neurodevelopmental disorders, adopts an inactive ground conformation and requires substrate binding for activation. Using NMR and enzyme kinetic analyses, we unravel the enzyme… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.adq9106

Abstract: The regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling by different orthosteric ligands is thought to occur through shifts in dynamically interconverting, conformational distributions. Such changes in dynamical distributions have been detected so far only by very… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "PLoS Biology"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.2006898

Abstract: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ sensors stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and STIM2, which connect ER Ca2+ depletion with extracellular Ca2+ influx, are crucial for the maintenance of Ca2+ homeostasis in mammalian cells. Despite the… read more here.
