RNA binding by human Norovirus 3C-like proteases inhibits proteaseactivity
A highly active, fluorescence-based, in vitro assay for human Norovirus protease from genogroup I and II viruses was optimized utilizing as little as 0.25μM enzyme, pH 7.6, and substrate:enzyme of 50-100. Activity in Tris-HCl or sodium phosphate buffers was 2-fold less than HEPES, and 2-fold lower for buffer concentrations over 10mM.

The mitochondrial protease HtrA2 restricts the NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes. [PDF]
Activation of the inflammasome pathway is crucial for effective intracellular host defense. The mitochondrial network plays an important role in inflammasome regulation but the mechanisms linking mitochondrial homeostasis to attenuation of inflammasome ...

Seneca Valley virus 3Cpro antagonizes host innate immune responses and programmed cell death
Seneca Valley virus (SVV), a member of the Picornaviridae family, may cause serious water blister diseases in pregnant sows and acute death in newborn piglets, which have resulted in economic losses in pig production.

Next-generation proteasome inhibitor oprozomib synergizes with modulators of the unfolded protein response to suppress hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) responds poorly to conventional systemic therapies. The first-in-class proteasome inhibitor bortezomib has been approved in clinical use for hematologic malignancies and has shown modest activity in solid tumors, including ...

Crystal structure of SARS-CoV 3C-like protease with baicalein
The 3C-like protease (Mpro, 3CLpro) plays a key role in the replication process in coronaviruses (CoVs). The Mpro is an essential enzyme mediates CoVs replication and is a promising target for development of antiviral drugs. Until now, baicalein has been shown the specific activity for SARS-CoV Mpro in vitro experiments.

Atomic structures of TDP-43 LCD segments and insights into reversible or pathogenic aggregation. [PDF]
The normally soluble TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is found aggregated both in reversible stress granules and in irreversible pathogenic amyloid. In TDP-43, the low-complexity domain (LCD) is believed to be involved in both types of aggregation. To

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...
