Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

A Role of Myocardin Related Transcription Factor-A (MRTF-A) in Scleroderma Related Fibrosis. [PDF]
In scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, SSc), persistent activation of myofibroblast leads to severe skin and organ fibrosis resistant to therapy. Increased mechanical stiffness in the involved fibrotic tissues is a hallmark clinical feature and a cause of ...

Transcription Factor AP-2 Regulatory Signatures in Breast Cancer [PDF]
PhDAP-2 transcription factors are highly conserved basic helix-span-helix proteins whose members ((x, ß, y, S and c) are crucial regulators of bryonic development. They also play an important role in human neoplasia.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

General Transcription Factor IIA-γ Increases Osteoblast-specific Osteocalcin Gene Expression via Activating Transcription Factor 4 and Runt-related Transcription Factor 2 [PDF]
ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4) is an osteoblast-enriched transcription factor that regulates terminal osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. ATF4 knock-out mice have reduced bone mass (severe osteoporosis) throughout life. Runx2 (runt-related transcription factor 2) is a runt domain-containing transcription factor that is essential ...
