Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 8, Page 1222-1236, April 2026.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Protein-lipid interactions of bacteriophage M13 major coat protein

, 2003
During the past years, remarkable progress has been made in our understanding of the replication cycle of bacteriophage M13 and the molecular details that enable phage proteins to navigate in the complex environment of the host cell.

Tn‐seq of Thermus thermophilus Genome Reveals Unexpected Tolerance to Insertions in Bacterial Common Essential Genes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Tn‐seq analysis of Thermus thermophilus genome reveals insertions in almost all genes, this is, there is no clear discrimination of essential genes. A similar result has not been reported in other Tn‐seq analysis of bacterial genomes so far. The polyploidy of the Thermus genome could explain the apparent non‐essentiality of key genes.

Nanobody‐Mediated c‐MYC Degradation Inhibits Tumor Cell Progression

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
A cell‐permeable nanobody strategy was developed to target the intrinsically disordered oncoprotein c‐MYC. A synthetic nanobody, M4, binds the central PEST region of c‐MYC (241–263) and promotes c‐MYC degradation by enhancing Thr58 phosphorylation. Conjugation of M4 to a cell‐penetrating peptide (CPP) generates CPM4, which efficiently accumulates in ...

An Engineered M13 Filamentous Nanoparticle as an Antigen Carrier for a Malignant Melanoma Immunotherapeutic Strategy

Viruses
Bacteriophages, prokaryotic viruses, hold great potential in genetic engineering to open up new avenues for vaccine development. Our study aimed to establish engineered M13 bacteriophages expressing MAGE-A1 tumor peptides as a vaccine for melanoma ...

Non‐Viral Cytokine‐Inducible SH2 Containing Protein Locus‐Specific Integrated Fibroblast Activation Protein Alpha‐Targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells Achieve Potent Antitumor Efficacy in Glioblastoma

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
FAPα is a dual target on glioblastoma cells and perivascular cells. Using a high‐affinity anti‐FAPα nanobody, we generated CISH‐KO FAPα‐CAR‐T cells via non‐viral CRISPR–Cas9 integration. These cells demonstrated enhanced proliferation and superior antitumor efficacy in patient‐derived organoids and orthotopic mouse models compared to conventional CAR‐T

Chemical Modification of M13 Bacteriophage and Its Application in Cancer Cell Imaging

, 2016
The M13 bacteriophage has been demonstrated to be a robust scaffold for bionanomaterial development. In this paper, we report on the chemical modifications of three kinds of reactive groups, i.e., the amino groups of lysine residues or N-terminal, the ...

Identification of two new capsid proteins in bacteriophage M13 [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1979
MI 3 is a male-specific filamentous coliphage , closely related to the phages fd and fl (reviewed [ 1,2]). The virion is composed of a circular singlestranded DNA (mol. wt 2 X 106) encapsulated in a tubular protein coat of about 850 nm long and 6 nm wide. Up to now it has generally been assumed that the virion coat is composed of two proteins only. The

Inhibition of Targeted Bacterial Growth Using MazF‐Expressing Phagemids: A Novel Therapeutic Approach Based on Endoribonuclease Toxin Molecules

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 206-213, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The extensive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, which are intended to halt bacterial growth or eliminate them, has unintentionally given rise to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is a critical threat to global health. In the pursuit of alternative solutions, researchers have focused on type II toxin–antitoxin systems prevalent within ...

Glycosomal Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase CRISPR/Cas9‐Deletion and Its Role in Trypanosoma cruzi Metacyclogenesis and Infectivity in Mammalian Host

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
Effects of PEPCK deficiency in Trypanosoma cruzi bioenergetics and life stages. ABSTRACT Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, possesses glycosomes—unique organelles that house key metabolic enzymes, several of which are promising therapeutic targets.
