Metal-ion binding and metal-ion induced folding of the adenine-sensing riboswitch aptamer domain [PDF]
, 2010 Divalent cations are important in the folding and stabilization of complex RNA structures. The adenine-sensing riboswitch controls the expression of mRNAs for proteins involved in purine metabolism by directly sensing intracellular adenine levels ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phytohormone brassinosteroid‐induced gene regulation by the transcription factor BIL1/BZR1 involves redox‐dependent DNA‐binding alternation and interaction with the transcription factor PIF4. The reduced BIL1/BZR1 dimer binds preferred cis‐elements, while oxidation alters its oligomerization state and disrupts DNA‐binding ability.

Cancer cell death induced by the NAD antimetabolite Vacor discloses the antitumor potential of SARM1
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Vacor, a compound converted into the toxic metabolite Vacor adenine dinucleotide (VAD) by the nicotinamide salvage pathway enzymes NAMPT and NMNAT2, exhibits antitumor activity by inducing rapid and complete NAD depletion. We report that Vacor toxicity is limited to cell lines expressing high levels of SARM1, a NAD glycohydrolase.

The effect of adenine adsorption on Zn (II) electroreduction in acetate buffer.
Acta Chimica Slovenica, 2018 The paper presents the thermodynamic analysis of adenine adsorption on a mercury electrode in an acetate buffer at pH 3 and pH 4. Adsorption energy and constants were determined using the Frumkin isotherm and the virial isotherm.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Attenuation of ischemic liver injury by prostaglandin E
, 1998 Background: Prostaglandin has been reported to have protective effects against liver injury. Use of this agent in clinical settings, however, is limited because of drugrelated side effects.
