Multimodal AI‐Driven Identification of Dehydrocostus Lactone as a Potent Renal Fibrosis Attenuator Targeting IQGAP1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Renal fibrosis, a hallmark of CKD, lacks effective treatments. Herein, we developed a multimodal AI model (TCM‐SPred) to identify anti‐fibrotic agents and found that dehydrocostus lactone (DCL) targets IQGAP1 to inhibit Wnt signaling, blocking the interaction between IQGAP1 and CCT3, demonstrating potent anti‐fibrotic activity in vitro and in vivo ...

Coxiella-like bacteria in fowl ticks from Thailand

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Coxiella bacteria were identified from various tick species across the world. Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacteria Coxiella burnetii that most commonly infects a variety of mammals. Non-mammalian hosts, such as birds, have also

Evolvability of Chaperonin Substrate Proteins [PDF]

, 2009
Molecular chaperones ensure that their substrate proteins reach the functional native state, and prevent their aggregation. Recently, an additional function was proposed for molecular chaperones: they serve as buffers (_capacitors_) for evolution by ...

Ubiquitination‐Driven Reprogramming of Proteostasis in Metastasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The DCAF12–TRiC/CCT axis is a key regulator of metastasis in cancer. By reprogramming proteostasis to ensure efficient protein folding, it drives progression through a dual mechanism: enhancing cancer cell motility and invasiveness while concurrently activating pro‐growth and survival pathways.

The recruitment of TRiC chaperonin in rotavirus viroplasms correlates with virus replication

mBio
Rotavirus (RV) replication takes place in the viroplasms, cytosolic inclusions that allow the synthesis of virus genome segments and their encapsidation in the core shell, followed by the addition of the second layer of the virion.

Advancing Extracellular Vesicle Research: A Review of Systems Biology and Multiomics Perspectives

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound vesicles secreted by various cell types into the extracellular space and play a role in intercellular communication. Their molecular cargo varies depending on the cell of origin and its functional state.

A yeast two-hybrid screen reveals a strong interaction between the Legionella chaperonin Hsp60 and the host cell small heat shock protein Hsp10 [PDF]

, 2015
L. pneumophila is an intracellular bacterium that replicates inside a membrane-bound vacuole called Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV), where it plentifully liberates its HtpB chaperonin.

Proteomic and Lipidomic Profiling of Immune Cell‐Derived Subpopulations of Extracellular Vesicles

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous and play important roles in intercellular communication, contributing to physiological and pathological processes. Since few markers currently exist to differentiate subtypes of EVs, this study aimed to determine proteomic and lipidomic differences among four EV subpopulations. Large and small EVs

Effects of confinement and crowding on folding of model proteins

, 2008
We perform molecular dynamics simulations for a simple coarse-grained model of crambin placed inside of a softly repulsive sphere of radius R. The confinement makes folding at the optimal temperature slower and affects the folding scenarios, but both ...

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...
