Factor XII and kininogen asymmetric assembly with gC1qR/C1QBP/P32 is governed by allostery (2020)
Journal Article
Kaira, B. G., Slater, A., McCrae, K. R., Dreveny, I., Sumya, U., Mutch, N. J., …Emsley, J. (2020). Factor XII and kininogen asymmetric assembly with gC1qR/C1QBP/P32 is governed by allostery. Blood, 136(14), 1685–1697. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2020004818

The contact system is composed of Factor XII (FXII), prekallikrein (PK) and co-factor kininogen (HK). The globular C1q receptor (gC1qR) has been shown to interact with FXII and HK. We reveal the FXII fibronectin type II domain (FnII) binds gC1qR in a... Read More about Factor XII and kininogen asymmetric assembly with gC1qR/C1QBP/P32 is governed by allostery.

Structural and biochemical evaluation of bisubstrate inhibitors of protein arginine N-methyltransferases PRMT1 and CARM1 (PRMT4) (2020)
Journal Article
Gunnell, E. A., Al-Noori, A., Muhsen, U., Davies, C. C., Dowden, J., & Dreveny, I. (2020). Structural and biochemical evaluation of bisubstrate inhibitors of protein arginine N-methyltransferases PRMT1 and CARM1 (PRMT4). Biochemical Journal, 477(4), 787–800. https://doi.org/10.1042/bcj20190826

Attenuating the function of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) is an objective for the investigation and treatment of several diseases including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Bisubstrate inhibitors that simultaneously target binding sit...
