ORF Capture-Seq as a versatile method for targeted identification of full-length isoforms

Nature Communications, 2020
Most human protein-coding genes are expressed as multiple isoforms. Here the authors present ORF Capture-seq that uses cloned ORFs as probes to capture and sequence full length transcript sequences.

Spatial-temporal dynamics of a microbial cooperative behavior resistant to cheating

Nature Communications, 2022
Bacteria often live in densely packed, spatially-structured communities; however, much of our understanding of their behavior stems from studies in liquid culture. Here, Monaco et al.

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.

Genomic landscape associated with potential response to anti-CTLA-4 treatment in cancers

Nature Communications, 2017
There is an urgent need to identify predictive markers for selecting responders to immunotherapy. Here, the authors describe a transcriptional predictor of immunotherapy response and assess it in genomic data from ~ 10,000 human tissues across 30 ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Quantifying cancer epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity and its association with stemness and immune response

, 2019
Cancer cells can acquire a spectrum of stable hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal (E/M) states during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Cells in these hybrid E/M phenotypes often combine epithelial and mesenchymal features and tend to migrate ...

Dynamics of growth factor production in monolayers of cancer cells and evolution of resistance to anticancer therapies [PDF]

, 2013
Tumor heterogeneity is well documented for many characters, including the production of growth factors, which improve tumor proliferation and promote resistance against apoptosis and against immune reaction.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

AKT isoform-specific expression and activation across cancer lineages

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Aberrant AKT activation is prevalent across human cancer lineages, providing an important therapeutic target. AKT comprises three isoforms that mediate critical non-redundant, even opposing functions in cancer pathophysiology.
