Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from five patients with Myofibrillar myopathy carrying different heterozygous mutations in the DES gene

Stem Cell Research
Myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by muscular dystrophy that is often associated with cardiac disease. This disease is caused by mutations in several genes, among them DES (encoding desmin) is the most frequently ...

Probabilistic measures for biological adaptation and resilience

Physical Review E
This paper introduces a novel approach to quantifying ecological resilience in biological systems, particularly focusing on noisy systems responding to episodic disturbances with sudden adaptations. Incorporating concepts from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, we propose a measure termed `ecological resilience through adaptation,' specifically ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Defective Integrator activity shapes the transcriptome of patients with multiple sclerosis

Life Science Alliance
High-depth RNA sequencing reveals down-regulation of HP1α/CBX5 in monocytes of multiple sclerosis patients, associated with major transcriptomic changes and reduced activity of the Integrator complex. HP1α/CBX5 is an epigenetic regulator with a suspected

Oxidative proteome alterations during skeletal muscle ageing

Redox Biology, 2015
Sarcopenia corresponds to the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass, quality, and strength associated with ageing and leads to a progressive impairment of mobility and quality of life.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Decreasing psychological distance to climate adaptation through serious gaming: Minions of Disruptions

Climate Services
A gap between knowledge and adaptive action remains and psychological distancing has been proposed to explain peoples’ inaction. This presents a challenge to climate change communication and particularly to the conventional ways of providing scientific ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
