PICALM::MLLT10 translocated leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This comprehensive review of PICALM::MLLT10 translocated acute leukemia provides an in‐depth review of the structure and function of CALM, AF10, and the fusion oncoprotein (1). The multifaceted molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, including nucleocytoplasmic shuttling (2), epigenetic modifications (3), and disruption of endocytosis (4), are then ...

Rational designing and synthesizing an antimicrobial peptide from bovine milk casein and evaluating its biological properties

Amino Acids
The overuse of antibiotics has led to a growing crisis—antimicrobial resistance, making it harder to treat infections and pushing scientists to find new solutions.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Cell density–dependent nuclear‐cytoplasmic shuttling of SETDB1 integrates with Hippo signaling to regulate YAP1‐mediated transcription

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At low cell density, SETDB1 and YAP1 accumulate in the nucleus. As cell density increases, the Hippo pathway is gradually activated, and SETDB1 is associated with increased YAP1 phosphorylation. At high cell density, phosphorylated YAP1 is sequestered in the cytoplasm, while SETDB1 becomes polyubiquitinated and degraded by the ubiquitin–proteasome ...

Essential amino acid supplementation for pressure ulcers: pathophysiological rationale and results from a pilot study

Amino Acids
Pressure ulcers (PU) are a major and serious problem affecting millions of people. Malnutrition, frequently co-occurring with PU, is considered modifiable risk factor, and dietary supplements currently recommended for supporting PU healing contain a high

Impact contribution of prebiotic reactants to Earth [PDF]

It is proposed that the AIB amino acid at the K/T boundary were synthesized during entry of a comet. However, whether they were synthesized or supplied directly from space, the concentration of amino acids in the shallow K/T sea would have been about 10 ...

Modification of Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetase in Order to Incorporate an Unnatural Amino Acid [PDF]

, 2018
Proteins allow daily processes in the cell to occur. A protein consists of amino acids. There are twenty natural amino acids coded for in the DNA of organisms. The natural amino acids can be modified to form unnatural amino acids (UAAs). UAAs have useful

β‐TrCP overexpression enhances cisplatin sensitivity by depleting BRCA1

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Low levels of β‐TrCP (Panel A) allow the accumulation of BRCA1 and CtIP, which facilitate the repair of cisplatin‐induced DNA damage via homologous recombination (HR) and promote tumor cell survival. In contrast, high β‐TrCP expression (Panel B) leads to BRCA1 and CtIP degradation, impairing HR repair, resulting in persistent DNA damage and apoptosis ...

Enhanced γ-aminobutyric acid levels promote degeneration of silk glands following spermidine supplementation in Bombyx mori

Amino Acids
Silk glands are modified labial glands that produce silk which has immense commercial importance. Silk is extruded out in liquid form after which the glands undergo autophagy and apoptosis during larval to pupal transition.
