Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Smooth elastic contact of cylinders by caustics: the contact length in the Brazilian disc test

open access: yesArchives of Mechanics, 2013
The smooth contact of two elastic cylinders compressed against each other along a common generatrix is studied analytically and experimentally. The main objective is the quantification of the length of the contact arc. For the analytic study, the complex

Caustics of $1/r^n$ binary gravitational lenses: from galactic haloes to exotic matter

open access: yes, 2016
We investigate the caustic topologies for binary gravitational lenses made up of two objects whose gravitational potential declines as $1/r^n$. With $n1$ regime can be obtained with some violations of the energy conditions, one famous example being the ...

PICALM::MLLT10 translocated leukemia

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Restoring geometrical optics near caustics using sequenced metaplectic transforms

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2020
Geometrical optics (GO) is often used to model wave propagation in weakly inhomogeneous media and quantum-particle motion in the semiclassical limit. However, GO predicts spurious singularities of the wavefield near reflection points and, more generally,

Propagation of charged particle waves in a uniform magnetic field

open access: yes, 2012
This paper considers the probability density and current distributions generated by a point-like, isotropic source of monoenergetic charges embedded into a uniform magnetic field environment.

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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

Esophageal Mucosal Injuries From Drugs, Radiation, and Caustic Agents [PDF]

open access: yesThe Korean Journal of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research
Various factors can lead to esophageal mucosal injury. A thorough patient history is crucial to accurately diagnose esophageal injuries caused by drugs, radiation, and caustic agents.
