Stability of the homopentameric b subunits of shiga toxins 1 and 2 in solution and the gas phase as revealed by nanoelectrospray fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry
Temperature and concentration-controlled dynamics of rhizobial small heat shock proteins.
A hallmark of alpha-crystallin-type small heat shock proteins (sHsps) is their highly dynamic oligomeric structure which promotes intermolecular interactions involved in subunit exchange and substrate binding (chaperone-like activity). We studied the oligomeric features of two classes of bacterial sHsps by size exclusion chromatography and nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry. Proteins of both classes formed large complexes that rapidly dissociated upon dilution and at physiologically relevant heat shock temperatures. As the secondary structure was not perturbed, temperature- and concentration-dependent dissociations were fully reversible. Complexes formed between sHsps and the model substrate citrate synthase were stable and exceeded the size of sHsp oligomers. Small Hsps, mutated in a highly conserved glycine residue at the C-terminal end of the alpha-crystallin domain, formed labile complexes that disassembled more readily than the corresponding wild-type proteins. Reduced complex stability coincided with reduced chaperone activity

Public-private collaboration in clinical research during pregnancy, lactation and childhood: joint position statement of the Early Nutrition Academy and the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition
This position statement summarises a view of academia regarding standards for clinical research in collaboration with commercial enterprises, focussing on trials in pregnant women, breast-feeding women, and children. It is based on a review of the available literature and an expert workshop cosponsored by the Early Nutrition Academy and the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition. Clinical research collaborations between academic investigators and commercial enterprises are encouraged by universities, public funding agencies, and governmental organisations. One reason is a pressing need to obtain evidence on the effects, safety, and benefits of drugs and other commercial products and services. The credibility and value of results obtained through public–private research collaborations have, however, been questioned because many examples of inappropriate research practice have become known. Clinical research in pregnant and breast-feeding women, and in infants and children, raises sensitive scientific, ethical, and societal questions and requires the application of particularly high standards. Here we provide recommendations for the conduct of public–private research collaborations in these populations. In the interest of all stakeholders, these recommendations should contribute to more reliable, credible, and acceptable results of commercially sponsored trials and to reducing the existing credibility gap
