A State‐Gated Metallo‐DNAzyme Framework Programs Tumor Stress Vulnerability Through Metabolic Licensing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A tumor‐state‐gated metallo‐DNAzyme framework integrates miR‐21/APE1‐responsive GLUT1 silencing with Ca/Cu‐partitioned metal–nucleic acid assembly and cystine loading. The framework first weakens glucose‐dependent metabolic buffering and then amplifies copper‐ and disulfide‐associated stress, converting tumor metabolic adaptation into programmable ...

Bone Marrow Macrophage STING Signaling is a Direct Nexus Linking Marrow Adipose Expansion to NAD+ Depletion and Osteogenic Decline in Skeletal Aging

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that during skeletal aging, bone marrow adipocyte‐derived sDPP4 primes STING signaling in macrophages. In combination with mitochondrial DNA, this signaling activates CD38 and depletes local NAD+/NMN, thereby impairing osteogenesis.

CONFORMATIONAL ANALYSIS OF FRAGMENT OF HUMAN PIN1 WW DOMAIN: INFLUENCE OF CHARGED AMINO-ACID RESIDUES ON β-HAIRPIN STRUCTURE

open access: yesTASK Quarterly, 2014
We examined the effect of like-charged residues on the conformation of an original nine amino-acid-residue fragment of the human Pin1 WW domain (hPin1) with the following sequence: Ac-Arg-Met-Ser-Arg-Ser-Ser-Gly-Arg-Val-NH2 (U9). This was facilitated by

Stereochemical Control of Hairpin Formation in β-Peptides Containing Dinipecotic Acid Reverse Turn Segments

open access: yes, 2016
We examine the relationship between covalent structure and conformational propensity among a series of β-amino acid tetramers. These experiments focus on the hairpin folding motif.

TGFBI Maintains Fibrocartilage Homeostasis by Restraining O‐GlcNAcylation to Inactivate and Destabilize ADAMTS16 in Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
TGFBI deficiency elevates O‐GlcNAcylation, promoting the transcriptional activation of ADAMTS16 and OGT‐mediated post‐translational modification of ADAMTS16 at Ser1170. This leads to its stabilization and accumulation, driving chondrocyte metabolic disorders and senescent phenotypes, ultimately resulting in fibrocartilage dysfunction and TMJOA ...

Reversible fold-switching controls the functional cycle of the antitermination factor RfaH

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The antitermination factor RfaH adopts two functional states where its C-terminal domain is folded either as an α-helical hairpin or β-barrel. Here the authors employ solution state NMR measurements to show that the C-terminal domain transforms into the ...

Distinct Cleavage Trajectories Mediated by DNA and RNA Substrate in Argonaute From Methanocaldococcus Fervens

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study characterizes MfAgo, an enzyme exhibiting highly efficient DNA‐guided DNA and RNA cleavage capability. Precise RNA cleavage strictly requires dimerization to stabilize the PIWI‐loop region, while its robust DNA cleavage functions in a dimerization‐independent manner.

Light-triggered β-hairpin folding and unfolding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A light-switchable peptide is transformed with ultrashort pulses from a β-hairpin to an unfolded hydrophobic cluster and vice versa. The structural changes are monitored by mid-IR probing.

Probing the Energy Landscape of α‐Synuclein Amyloid Fibril Formation by Systematic K‐to‐Q Mutagenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We use lysine‐to‐glutamine mutations to study the effect of electrostatics on the kinetics and thermodynamics of alpha‐synuclein amyloid fibril formation. We find that mutational effects map on their structural context within fibrils and identify residues that modulate the energy landscape of alpha‐synuclein self‐assembly. Our work outlines a scalable,

Molecular Dynamics Folding Simulation of β-hairpin Protein (1E0Q)

open access: yes, 2014
The structure and trajectories of the mutant peptide of ubiquitin (PDB ID: 1E0Q) has been studied using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation. The simulation was performed using AMBER 11 utilizing force field 99 for 50 ns at constant temperature 325 K.
