The influence of the accessory genome on bacterial pathogen evolution [PDF]

, 2011
Bacterial pathogens exhibit significant variation in their genomic content of virulence factors. This reflects the abundance of strategies pathogens evolved to infect host organisms by suppressing host immunity.

A Self‐Assembling LYTAC Mediates CTGF Degradation and Remodels Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment for Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A CTGF‐LYTAC nanoplatform is developed to selectively degrade connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC), inhibiting TGF‐β signaling and cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME). This strategy effectively suppresses tumor growth and metastasis, outperforming antibody‐based therapy.

From Multi‐Omics to Visualization and Beyond: Bridging Micro and Macro Insights in CAR‐T Cell Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explores how multi‐omics, visualization technologies, and AI drive CAR‐T therapy from the micro to the macro level, from preclinical studies to clinical applications. The convergence of these approaches provides deeper insight into CAR‐T cell mechanisms, aids in structural optimization, and significantly enhances treatment efficacy and ...

High‐Fidelity In Vitro Packaging of Diverse Synthetic Cargo into Encapsulin Protein Cages

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Pack n’ Play. A novel in vitro assembly system for encapsulin protein cages has been developed. Using a bulky fusion partner to prevent shell assembly in cellulo, high‐fidelity assembly is triggered in vitro by proteolytic cleavage yielding robust particles with superior thermostability.

Sortilin‐Mediated Rapid, Precise and Sustained Degradation of Membrane Proteins via mRNA‐Encoded Lysosome‐Targeting Chimera

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study identified sortilin as a promising LTR, enabling targeted degradation of oncogenic proteins through an mRNA‐encoded MedTAC strategy. In a mouse model, MedTACPTK7 reduced PTK7 by up to 80%, extended survival, and showed excellent pharmacokinetics without toxicity, providing a scalable platform for targeted therapies.

Functional Ambidexterity of an Ancient Nucleic Acid‐Binding Domain

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The (HhH)2‐Fold is an ancient and ubiquitous nucleic acid‐binding domain. We demonstrate that this domain, which interacts with the minor groove of dsDNA, is functionally ambidextrous – that it can bind to dsDNA of either chirality. Moreover, binding of both chiral forms of dsDNA is mediated by an overlapping binding surface.

Inhibition of DNA ejection from bacteriophage by Mg+2 counterions

, 2010
The problem of inhibiting viral DNA ejection from bacteriophages by multivalent counterions, specifically Mg$^{+2}$ counterions, is studied. Experimentally, it is known that MgSO$_4$ salt has a strong and non-monotonic effect on the amount of DNA ejected.

A Unique THN Motif Is Critical for Enabling Efficient C‐Terminal Traceless Cleavage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
THN is identified as the key motif to facilitate the rapid traceless cleavage of gp41‐1. The deflection of THN motif not only avoids the interaction between C‐exteins and active sites, but also separates Asp107 away from Asn125. In addition, a flexible block F contributes to faster C‐cleavage.

The effect of genome length on ejection forces in bacteriophage lambda [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
A variety of viruses tightly pack their genetic material into protein capsids that are barely large enough to enclose the genome. In particular, in bacteriophages, forces as high as 60 pN are encountered during packaging and ejection, produced by DNA bending elasticity and self-interactions. The high forces are believed to be important for the ejection
