Identification, Heterologous Expression, and Functional Characterization of Bacillus subtilis YutF, a HAD Superfamily 5'-Nucleotidase with Broad Substrate Specificity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
5'-nucleotidases (EC 3.1.3.5) catalyze the hydrolytic dephosphorylation of 5'-ribonucleotides and 5'-deoxyribonucleotides as well as complex nucleotides, such as uridine 5'-diphosphoglucose (UDP-glucose), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and flavin ...

Chronic Psychological Stress Induces Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Through Corticosterone‐Glucocorticoid Receptor‐LAMA5 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In vivo experiments suggest that cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is an early manifestation of cardiac pathological changes induced by chronic psychological stress. In vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that the corticosterone‐glucocorticoid receptor‐LAMA5 axis mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by chronic psychological stress. The clinical results

Activation of Lysosomal Retrograde Transport Triggers TPC1‐IP3R1 Ca2+ Crosstalk at Lysosome‐ER MCSs Leading to Lethal Depleting of ER Calcium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The flavonoid compound LW‐213 exerts its antitumor effects through a novel mechanism involving lysosomal‐ER calcium regulation. Specifically, LW‐213 binds to LIMP2, which induces perinuclear clustering of lysosomes and facilitates calcium‐mediated lysosome‐ER interactions.

Bioenergetics and gene silencing approaches for unraveling nucleotide recognition by the human EIF2C2/Ago2 PAZ domain.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Gene silencing and RNA interference are major cellular processes that control gene expression via the cleavage of target mRNA. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C2 (EIF2C2, Argonaute protein 2, Ago2) is considered to be the major player of RNAi ...

Pioglitazone Is a Mild Carrier-Dependent Uncoupler of Oxidative Phosphorylation and a Modulator of Mitochondrial Permeability Transition

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Pioglitazone (PIO) is an insulin-sensitizing antidiabetic drug, which normalizes glucose and lipid metabolism but may provoke heart and liver failure and chronic kidney diseases.

Antagonism of Morphine Analgesia by Adenine, Adenosine, and Adenine Nucleotides

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1973
SummaryAntagonism of the antinociceptive action of morphine in mice by prior parenteral administration of cAMP has been confirmed using two additional analgesic testing procedures, the hot-plate test and the stretching test. The analgesia-antagonistic property, however, is not specific for cAMP because it also occurred after pretreatment with compounds

An Apple Susceptibility‐Related LRR Receptor‐Like Kinase MdRLKT21 Activates Plant Immunity by Hijacking a Trans‐Kingdom Fungal microRNA‐Like RNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The apple susceptibility‐related LRR‐RLK MdRLKT21 competitively binds to fungal sRNA effectors and subsequently activates defenses by salvaging the expression of MdRLKT1 and MdRLKT2 and thereby releasing the resistance protein MdRFP1. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanism by which plants counteract pathogen‐secreted sRNA ...

Melatonin Modulates Glucose Metabolism Reprogramming via Targeting G6PD to Alleviate Lead‐Induced Hepatocytes Pyroptosis in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that Lead reprograms glucose metabolism to enhance H3K18la, driving DRP1‐dependent mitochondrial DNA leakage and cGAS‐STING‐mediated pyroptosis. Melatonin targets G6PD to suppress glycolysis‐driven H3K18la and restore mitochondrial homeostasis, thereby alleviating Lead‐induced liver injury in common carp through disruption of the ...

Human Schlafen 14 Cleavage of Short Double‐Stranded RNAs Underpins its Antiviral Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SLFN14 is associated with human diseases. SLFN14 is found to cleave RNAs containing short duplexes. The cryo‐EM structures of SLFN14 and SLFN14‐hairpin RNA complex reveal that SLFN14 assembles into a ring‐like dimer; two RNase domains form an RNA‐binding groove accommodating a hairpin RNA.

CD73-dependent generation of extracellular adenosine by vascular endothelial cells modulates de novo lipogenesis in adipose tissue

Frontiers in Immunology
Next to white and brown adipocytes present in white and brown adipose tissue (WAT, BAT), vascular endothelial cells, tissue-resident macrophages and other immune cells have important roles in maintaining adipose tissue homeostasis but also contribute to ...
