Protein turnover downstream of the Nipbl/CRL4 axis contributes to abnormal development in zebrafish embryos

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Mutations in cohesins cause cohesinopathies such as Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) and Roberts Syndrome (RBS). Prior findings demonstrate that Esco2 (a cohesin activator) and Smc3 (a core cohesin subunit) regulate the CRL4 E3 ubiquitin ligase. SMC3 mutations, however, account for a small percentage of CdLS.

Interpretation of in vitro concentration‐response data for risk assessment and regulatory decision‐making: Report from the 2022 IWGT quantitative analysis expert working group meeting

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Quantitative risk assessments of chemicals are routinely performed using in vivo data from rodents; however, there is growing recognition that non‐animal approaches can be human‐relevant alternatives. There is an urgent need to build confidence in non‐animal alternatives given the international support to reduce the use of animals in toxicity ...

Evaluation of the standard battery of in vitro genotoxicity tests to predict in vivo genotoxicity through mathematical modeling: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract In human health risk assessment of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, identification of genotoxicity hazard usually starts with a standard battery of in vitro genotoxicity tests, which is needed to cover all genotoxicity endpoints. The individual tests included in the battery are not designed to pick up all endpoints.

Uncovering microbiomes of the rice phyllosphere using long-read metagenomic sequencing

Communications Biology
The plant microbiome is crucial for plant growth, yet many important questions remain, such as the identification of specific bacterial species in plants, their genetic content, and location of these genes on chromosomes or plasmids.

Consensus findings of an International Workshops on Genotoxicity Testing workshop on using transcriptomic biomarkers to predict genotoxicity

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Gene expression biomarkers have the potential to identify genotoxic and non‐genotoxic carcinogens, providing opportunities for integrated testing and reducing animal use. In August 2022, an International Workshops on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT) workshop was held to critically review current methods to identify genotoxicants using ...

Review of Transcriptomic Biomarkers That Predict In Vitro Genotoxicity in Human Cell Lines

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The current genotoxicity testing paradigm provides little mechanistic information, has poor specificity in predicting carcinogenicity in humans, and is not suited to assessing a large number of chemicals. Genomic technologies enable the characterization of genome‐wide transcriptional changes in response to chemical treatments that can inform ...

Synthetic Biology‐Based Engineering Living Therapeutics for Antimicrobial Application

Exploration, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights synthetic biology‐driven antibacterial strategies, focusing on three innovative approaches: engineered bacteriophages for precision bacterial targeting, reprogrammed microbes that detect quorum‐sensing signals or metabolites to release antimicrobials, and engineering mammalian cells that recognize pathogen‐associated ...

Modeling the compaction of bacterial chromosomes by biomolecular crowding and the cross-linking protein H-NS

Scientific Reports
Cells orchestrate the action of various molecules toward organizing their chromosomes. Using a coarse-grained computational model, we study the compaction of bacterial chromosomes by the cross-linking protein H-NS and cellular crowders.

Emerging Target Discovery Strategies Drive the Decoding of Therapeutic Power of Natural Products and Further Drug Development: A Case Study of Celastrol

Exploration, EarlyView.
Using celastrol as a case study, this review summarizes various target discovery strategies for natural products, including chemical proteomics, protein microarray, degradation‐based protein profiling, proteome‐wide label‐free approaches, network pharmacology, target‐based drug screening, and indirect strategies.
