Novak J, Butorac K, Pavunc A, Banic M, Butorac A, Lepur A, et al.
Molecules . 2022 Jan; 27(1). PMID: 35011392
This study aimed to define a consortium of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that will bring added value to dried fresh cheese through specific probiotic properties and the synthesis of bioactive...

Beluzic L, Grbesa I, Beluzic R, Park J, Kong H, Kopjar N, et al.
Sci Rep . 2018 Sep; 8(1):14012. PMID: 30228286
Recently, functional connections between S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AHCY) activity and cancer have been reported. As the properties of AHCY include the hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine and maintenance of the cellular methylation potential,...

Lepur A, Vugrek O
Methods Mol Biol . 2018 Jun; 1794:259-267. PMID: 29855963
Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) is a powerful and sensitive tool to discover new protein-protein interactions (PPIs). It enables visualization and localization of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in living cells. The idea...

Grbesa I, Kalo A, Beluzic R, Kovacevic L, Lepur A, Rokic F, et al.
Eur J Cell Biol . 2017 Jun; 96(6):579-590. PMID: 28647132
S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AHCY) is thought to be located at the sites of ongoing AdoMet-dependent methylation, presumably in the cell nucleus. Endogenous AHCY is located both in cytoplasm and the nucleus....

Teofilovic N, Bihi M, Radic Stojkovic M, Tumir L, Ester K, Kralj M, et al.
Bioorg Med Chem Lett . 2017 Mar; 27(7):1530-1537. PMID: 28254484
We have previously demonstrated the nucleic acid binding capacity of phenanthridine derivatives (PHTs). Because nucleic acids are potent inducers of innate immune response through Toll-like receptors (TLRs), and because PTHs...

Lepur A, Kovacevic L, Beluzic R, Vugrek O
J Biomol Screen . 2016 Jul; 21(10):1100-1111. PMID: 27455993
Protein interaction networks are the basis for human metabolic and signaling systems. Interaction studies often use bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) to reveal the formation and cellular localization of protein complexes....

Stegmayr J, Lepur A, Kahl-Knutson B, Aguilar-Moncayo M, Klyosov A, Field R, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2016 Apr; 291(25):13318-34. PMID: 27129206
Some complex plant-derived polysaccharides, such as modified citrus pectins and galactomannans, have been shown to have promising anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Most reports propose or claim that these effects are...

Lepur A, Salomonsson E, Nilsson U, Leffler H
J Biol Chem . 2012 May; 287(26):21751-6. PMID: 22549776
Many functions of galectin-3 entail binding of its carbohydrate recognition site to glycans of a glycoprotein, resulting in cross-linking thought to be mediated by its N-terminal noncarbohydrate-binding domain. Here we...

Lepur A, Carlsson M, Novak R, Dumic J, Nilsson U, Leffler H
Biochim Biophys Acta . 2012 Mar; 1820(7):804-18. PMID: 22450157
Background: Galectin-3 (the Mac-2 antigen) is abundantly expressed in both macrophage like cells and certain non-macrophage cells. We have studied endocytosis of galectin-3 as one important step relevant for its...

PLoS One . 2011 Oct; 6(10):e26560. PMID: 22028908
Sera from 25 metastatic breast cancer patients and 25 healthy controls were subjected to affinity chromatography using immobilized galectin-1. Serum from the healthy subjects contained on average 1.2 mg per...
