Abstract Drosophila Toll receptors are involved in embryonic development and in the immune response of adult flies. In both processes, the Toll receptor ligand is the NGF-like cystine knot protein Spätzle. Here we present the expression of Toll receptor ectodomain in Schneider cells at high yields and demonstrate a high affinity interaction with the refolded and trypsin-processed Spätzle cystine knot domain dimer. Poorly and anisotropically diffracting crystals of the complex could be improved by deglycosylation and dehydration, paving the way for structural analyses of the Toll-Spätzle interaction.

Objective: GPVI (glycoprotein VI) is a key molecular player in collagen-induced platelet signaling and aggregation. Recent evidence indicates that it also plays important role in platelet aggregation and thrombus growth through interaction with fibrin(ogen). However, there are discrepancies in the literature regarding whether the monomeric or dimeric form of GPVI binds to fibrinogen at high affinity. The mechanisms of interaction are also not clear, including which region of fibrinogen is responsible for GPVI binding. We aimed to gain further understanding of the mechanisms of interaction at molecular level and to identify the regions on fibrinogen important for GPVI binding. Approach and Results: Using multiple surface- and solution-based protein-protein interaction methods, we observe that dimeric GPVI binds to fibrinogen with much higher affinity and has a slower dissociation rate constant than the monomer due to avidity effects. Moreover, our data show that the highest affinity interaction of GPVI is with the αC-region of fibrinogen. We further show that GPVI interacts with immobilized fibrinogen and fibrin variants at a similar level, including a nonpolymerizing fibrin variant, suggesting that GPVI binding is independent of fibrin polymerization. Conclusions: Based on the above findings, we conclude that the higher affinity of dimeric GPVI over the monomer for fibrinogen interaction is achieved by avidity. The αC-region of fibrinogen appears essential for GPVI binding. We propose that fibrin polymerization into fibers during coagulation will cluster GPVI through its αC-region, leading to downstream signaling, further activation of platelets, and potentially stimulating clot growth.

Cytoplasmic Side

Recent studies of haemoglobin binding to the cytoplasmic side of the erythrocyte membrane have shown that the predominant high-affinity interaction occurs with the major integral membrane protein known as band-3 protein and that this interaction may occur within the intact erythrocyte in a manner regulated by cell pH. We report here that haemoglobin and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase binding to band-3 protein in isolated membranes can inhibit endocytosis during vesiculation in vitro. The specificity of this effect was demonstrated by showing that myoglobin, which has an affinity for the membrane fully one to two orders of magnitude lower than that for haemoglobin, does not inhibit endocytosis.

Respiratory Viral Infections

Although pregnancy is a physiological condition, this category of women has a high probability of severe acute respiratory viral infections, and a fairly high affinity to these diseases, due to physiological changes in the immune system. In 2009/2010, during the A(H1N1)09 virus that caused pig flu, the morbidity among pregnant women reached 27.9%. In addition, such viruses as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV are known to contribute to severe complications in pregnancy and lead to the need for endotracheal intubation and hospitalisation of women to the intensive care unit, and in some cases, diseases caused by these viruses can cause kidney failure and even death, which reaches 25% when SARS-CoV is detected among pregnant women. At the present stage, there is insufficient information on the new coronavirus infection impact on pregnant women and newborns, and there are no reliable recommendations as to the management of pregnant women when COVID-19 is diagnosed. In this article, we will try to summarise information on managing such patients based on the cases when coronavirus was diagnosed in pregnant women.

In this work, we show several previously unknown features of p120-catenin in a cadherin–catenin complex that are critical for our understanding of cadherin-based adhesion and signaling. We show that in human epithelial A-431 cells, nearly all p120 molecules engage in high-affinity interaction with E-cadherin–catenin complexes located at the cellular surface. p120 is positioned in proximity to α-catenin in the complex with cadherin. These findings suggest a functional cooperation between p120 and α-catenin in cadherin-based adhesion. A low level of cadherin-free p120 molecules, in contrast, could facilitate p120-dependent signaling. Finally, we present compelling evidence that p120 is a key linker cementing the E-cadherin–catenin complex with the transmembrane protease γ-secretase. The cell–cell contact location of this supercomplex makes it an important candidate for conducting different signals that rely on γ-secretase proteolytic activity.
