Structural insights into θ‐type carbonic anhydrases 3 and 4: Tuning the directionality of CO2 hydration in a diatom

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
θ‐CA3 from a marine diatom has an N‐terminal transmembrane helix and two homologous catalytic domains. The enzyme functions as a dimer, with active sites formed near the dimer interface. A bicarbonate ion binds on the symmetry axis of the dimer and forms hydrogen bonds with both monomers, thereby activating θ‐CA3 and tuning CO2 hydration activity ...

Purification, Characterization, cDNA Cloning, and Bioinformatic Analysis of Zinc-Binding Protein from Magallana hongkongensis

Molecules
Oysters contain significant amounts of the zinc element, which may also be found in their proteins. In this study, a novel zinc-binding protein was purified from the mantle of the oyster Magallana hongkongensis using two kinds of gel filtration ...

Combining TAG‐72CAR with anti‐MUC16CAR improves the potency of ovarian cancer treatment

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Tz‐KBBCAR, a combinatorial CAR targeting MUC16 and TAG‐72, enhances the precision of ovarian cancer immunotherapy. By requiring both tumour antigens for full activation, Tz‐KBBCAR was designed to eliminate MUC16+/TAG‐72+ cancer cells, while sparing MUC16+/TAG‐72‐ healthy cells.

Pharmacological inhibition of carbonic anhydrases with a positively charged pyridinium sulfonamide phenocopies the neuroprotective effects of Car9 genetic ablation in a murine setting of oxygen/glucose deprivation followed by re-oxygenation and is associated with improved neuronal function in ischemic rats

Heliyon
Carbonic anhydrases constitute a family of metalloenzymes vital for maintaining acid-base balance and regulating pH in physio-pathological processes. These findings suggest carbonic anhydrases as potential therapeutic targets for treating pH-associated ...

Structure-based drug design of novel inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase for treatment of glaucoma

, 2009
In humans, there are twelve carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes that possess catalytic activity for the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) underpin crucial physiological and pathological processes and are thus pharmaceutical ...

A comparative analysis of cell death signalling in RNA and DNA virus infections and potential inhibitory strategies

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
RNA and DNA viruses can manipulate host cell death through various mechanisms. RNA viruses (H1N1, SARS‐CoV‐2) induce acute apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis to promote rapid viral transmission and epithelial barrier damage. In contrast, DNA viruses (HSV‐1, EBV) regulate these mechanisms to sustain a lytic‐latency cycle, evade immune response and ...

From productive coupling to catalytic commitment: An evolutionarily tuned interdomain connector in Leishmania Aha1 orchestrates Hsp90 activation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
LbAha1 activates LbHsp90 through a multistep mechanism in which productive N‐domain docking precedes ATP‐driven rearrangement and linker ordering. The LbAha1 linker transitions from a flexible to helical state, stabilizing an asymmetric, catalytically competent closed complex.

Finding the sweet spot: An exploration of environmental factors to optimize Ulva carbohydrate content and composition

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Green macroalgae from the Ulva genus are rich in polysaccharides of interest, including ulvan, starch, and cellulose. However, their content and structure are impacted by environmental factors, which poses challenges for industrial applications, especially in the context of climate change.
