Large amounts (2.3 mg) of an inactive form of the glycoprotein GPIIb-IIIa were obtained in highly purified form from 7-liter cultures of human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells. The purified GPIIb-IIIa was converted to an activated form after its immobilization to 96-well plastic plates. The binding of fibrinogen to the activated GPIIb-IIIa was investigated using 24 kinds of RGD peptides and showed that the IC50 values of these peptides correlated with those obtained with activated platelets. These findings indicated that the binding properties of the activated GPIIb-IIIa from HEL cells are quite similar to those of the platelets.

Large exciton binding energy in a bulk van der Waals magnet from quasi-1D electronic localization.

Excitons, bound electron-hole pairs, influence the optical properties in strongly interacting solid-state systems and are typically most stable and pronounced in monolayer materials. Bulk systems with large exciton binding energies, on the other hand, are rare and the mechanisms driving their stability are still relatively unexplored. Here, we report an exceptionally large exciton binding energy in single crystals of the bulk van der Waals antiferromagnet CrSBr.

The ENaC receptor acts as a taste receptor to recognize and perceive salty substances. This study explored the mechanisms by which the ENaC taste receptor recognizes and binds mushroom-derived salty peptides using molecular interaction and molecular simulation. The three subunits α, β, and γ of the ENaC taste receptor (SCNN1α, SCNN1β, and SCNN1γ) showed different recognition characteristics for the salty peptide.

Blood clots (BCs) play a crucial biomechanical role in promoting osteogenesis and regulating mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) function and fate. This study shows that BC formation enhances MSC osteogenesis by activating Itgb1/Fak-mediated focal adhesion and subsequent Runx2-mediated bone regeneration. Notably, BC viscoelasticity regulates this effect by modulating Runx2 nuclear translocation.

Phosphatidic acid (PA) through its unique negatively charged phosphate headgroup binds to various proteins to modulate multiple cellular events. To perform such diverse signaling functions, the ionization and charge of PA's headgroup relies on the properties of vicinal membrane lipids and changes in cellular conditions. Cholesterol has conspicuous effects on lipid properties and membrane dynamics.

Faithful chromosome segregation in eukaryotes relies on physical cohesion between newly duplicated sister chromatids. Cohesin is a ring-shaped ATPase assembly that mediates sister chromatid cohesion through its ability to topologically entrap DNA. Cohesin, assisted by several regulatory proteins, binds to DNA prior to DNA replication and then holds two sister DNAs together when it encounters the replication machinery.
