Modulation of Titin-Based Stiffness in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy via Protein Kinase D.

Modulation of Titin-Based Stiffness in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy via Protein Kinase D.

The large protein titin performs structure-preserving capabilities within the sarcomere and is vital for the passive stiffness (Fpassive) of cardiomyocytes. Protein kinase D (PKD) enzymes play essential roles in regulating myocardial contraction, hypertrophy, and reworking. PKD phosphorylates myofilament proteins, however it’s not recognized whether or not the enormous protein titin can also be a PKD […]

A bicistronic vector backbone for rapid seamless cloning and chimerization of αβT-cell receptor sequences

A bicistronic vector backbone for rapid seamless cloning and chimerization of αβT-cell receptor sequences

To facilitate preclinical testing of T-cell receptors (TCRs) derived from tumor-reactive T-cell clones it’s essential to develop handy and fast cloning methods for the technology of TCR expression constructs. Herein, we describe a pDONR™221 vector spine permitting to generate Gateway™ appropriate entry clones encoding optimized bicistronic αβTCR constructs. It harbors P2A-linked TCR fixed areas and […]
