Implications of Widespread Covalent Modification of mRNA [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2012
Whole transcriptome analysis reveals that one third of human and mouse genes express mRNAs containing methylated adenosines. Fat mass and obesity-associated ( FTO ) gene, a risk gene for obesity and metabolic abnormalities, demethylates the modified residues, suggesting a link between RNA methylation and disease.

Protein covalent modification by biologically active quinones [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2004
The avarone/avarol quinone/hydroquinone couple shows considerable antitumor activity. In this work, covalent modification of b-lactoglobulin by avarone and its derivatives as well as by the synthetic steroidal quinone 2,5(10)-estradiene-1,4,17-trione and

Methodology of stable peptide based on propargylated sulfonium

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2023
Peptides can be used as effective molecular tool for covalent modification of proteins and play important roles in ligand directed covalent modification. Tyr-selective protein modifications exert a profound impact on protein functionality.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

Assessing reversible and irreversible binding effects of kinase covalent inhibitors through ADP-Glo assays

STAR Protocols, 2021
Summary: Typical enzymatic inhibition assays often demonstrate improved potency for kinase covalent inhibitors compared to reversible inhibitors. This can primarily be attributed to the irreversible mode of action and could affect the evaluations of the ...

Lysyl oxidase (LOX)‐mediated remodeling of the extracellular matrix

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of enzymes drives extracellular matrix remodeling by oxidizing collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, promoting covalent cross‐link formation. This activity regulates tissue architecture and mechanical properties, while its dysregulation contributes to fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, connective tissue disorders ...

Uncovering the covalent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro in Tibetan edible herb Rhodiola crenulata and their synergistic anti-Mpro mechanism

Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis
The main protease (Mpro) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been validated as a therapeutic target for antiviral drug development, given its critical role in the viral life cycle.

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.
