Peinado3,4, Manuel Castell6, Joan Albert Barber3,4, Alessandra Altomare1, Giovanna Baron1, Marina Carini1, Marta Cascante2,7,9 & Alfonsina D’Amato1,9* Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a vascular disease characterized by the presence of organized thromboembolic material in pulmonary arteries leading to increased vascular resistance, heart failure and death. Dysfunction of endothelial cells is involved in CTEPH. The present study describes for the frst time the molecular processes underlying endothelial dysfunction in the development of the CTEPH. The advanced analytical approach and the protein network analyses of patient derived CTEPH endothelial cells allowed the quantitation of 3258 proteins. The 673 diferentially regulated proteins were associated with functional and disease protein network modules. The protein network analyses resulted in the characterization of dysregulated pathways associated with endothelial dysfunction, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative phosphorylation, sirtuin signaling, infammatory response, oxidative stress and fatty acid metabolism related pathways. In addition, the quantifcation of advanced oxidation protein products, total protein carbonyl content, and intracellular reactive oxygen species resulted increased

The protein spots were analysed by LC-MS/MS on the PAPPSO plateform (Benoit Valot, Thierry Balliau, Michel Zivy, INRA Moulon, France; http://pappso.inra.fr). Based on the spectrum generated, proteins were identified using the X-Tandem software. "NCBI accession number" is the accession number in NCBI database. "Protein name" .

"Function category" and "Function description" relate to the functional categories defined according to the ontological classification of Bevan et al . [Bevan et al . (1998) Nature 391:485-488]. "log(Evalue) identification" reflects the statistical power of the identification by BLAST (performed on TAIR or BLAST). "Identity" indicates in % the recovery of the Amborella protein sequence against the identified protein.

Each VAO subunit consists of two domains, the FAD-binding and the cap domain. VAO catalyses, among other reactions, the two-step conversion of p-creosol (2- methoxy-4-methylphenol) to vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde). To elucidate how different ligands enter and exit the secluded active site, Monte Carlo based simulations OPEN ACCESS have been performed. One entry/exit path via the subunit interface and two additional exit Citation: Gygli G, Lucas MF, Guallar V, van Berkel paths have been identified for phenolic ligands, all leading to the si side of FAD. We argue WJH (2017) The ins and outs of vanillyl alcohol oxidase: Identification of ligand migration paths. that the entry/exit path is the most probable route for these ligands. A fourth path leading to PLoS Comput Biol 13(10): e1005787. https://doi. the re side of FAD has been found for the co-ligands dioxygen and hydrogen peroxide. org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005787 Based on binding energies and on the behaviour of ligands in these four paths, we propose Editor: Donald Jacobs, UNC Charlotte, UNITED a sequence of events for ligand and co-ligand migration during catalysis.
