Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

KANSL3 directs transcriptional programs essential for hepatic metabolism and differentiation

open access: yesLife Science Alliance
KANSL3 is an epigenetic regulator of hepatocyte metabolism and differentiation, essential for liver development and key to maintaining liver health. Liver disease is a leading cause of mortality worldwide.

Insulator-based loops mediate the spreading of H3K27me3 over distant micro-domains repressing euchromatin genes

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2020
Background Chromosomes are subdivided spatially to delimit long-range interactions into topologically associating domains (TADs). TADs are often flanked by chromatin insulators and transcription units that may participate in such demarcation. Remarkably,

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Cantharidin downregulates PSD1 expression and inhibits autophagic flux in yeast cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2022
Cantharidin is a terpenoid compound of insect origin, naturally produced by male blister beetles as an antipredatory mechanism. Cantharidin has anticancer properties, which are attributed to its ability to induce cell cycle arrest, DNA damage, MAPK ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Statins as anti‐tumor agents: A paradigm for repurposed drugs

open access: yesCancer Reports
Background Statins, frequently prescribed medications, work by inhibiting the rate‐limiting enzyme HMG‐CoA reductase (HMGCR) in the mevalonate pathway to reduce cholesterol levels.

An HP1 isoform-specific feedback mechanism regulates Suv39h1 activity under stress conditions

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2017
The presence of H3K9me3 and heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) are hallmarks of heterochromatin conserved in eukaryotes. The spreading and maintenance of H3K9me3 is effected by the functional interplay between the H3K9me3-specific histone methyltransferase ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
