Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of a mitochondrial membrane-associated protein Cbs2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Dan Wu et al.

Summary: In this study, the cloning, expression, purification, and crystallization of Cbs2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were successfully conducted for structural studies. Analysis indicated that the Cbs2 protein may form a dimer. Preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies suggested the presence of two Cbs2 molecules in the asymmetric unit.

Latent TGF-β1 protects against diabetic kidney disease via Arkadia/Smad7 signaling

Weifeng Wu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that overexpression of latent TGF-beta 1 can protect against the development of DKD in mice, reducing microalbuminuria and inhibiting renal fibrosis and inflammation, without altering blood glucose levels. This protective effect may be associated with the prevention of Arkadia-mediated Smad7 ubiquitin degradation, suggesting a potential mechanism for the inhibition of DKD by latent TGF-beta 1.
