Cysteine Borylation in Unprotected Peptides [PDF]
Synthetic bioconjugation at cysteine (Cys) residues in peptides and proteins has emerged as a powerful tool in chemistry. Soft nucleophilicity of the sulfur in Cys renders an exquisite chemoselectivity with which various functional groups can be placed ...

NLRP3 Sensing of Diverse Inflammatory Stimuli Requires Distinct Structural Features
The NLRP3 inflammasome is central to host defense and implicated in various inflammatory diseases and conditions. While the favored paradigm of NLRP3 inflammasome activation stipulates a unifying signal intermediate that de-represses NLRP3, this view has

Structural and Kinetic Studies on the Formation of Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) Complexes with l-Cysteine-Derived Ligands [PDF]
Complex-formation reactions of the l-cysteine-derived ligands αN-acetyl-S-methylene-(2‘-pyridine)-l-cysteine (py-CH2-accys) and αN-acetyl-S-ethylene-2-(2‘-pyridine)-l-cysteine (py-C2H4-accys) with [Pt(en)(H2O)2]2+ and [Pd(en)(H2O)2]2+ were investigated ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

DATS-induced microtubule disarrangement and cell cycle arrest are cancelled by the pretreatment of the cell with -cysteine [PDF]
Panel : HT-29 cells were cultured with vehicle (), 2 mM -cysteine (), 10 μM DATS () or both 10 μM DATS and 2 mM -cysteine () for 12 h. The microtubule distribution of the cells was assessed by the immunofluorescence method using anti-β-tubulin antibody ...

Thiol Reductases in Deinococcus Bacteria and Roles in Stress Tolerance
Deinococcus species possess remarkable tolerance to extreme environmental conditions that generate oxidative damage to macromolecules. Among enzymes fulfilling key functions in metabolism regulation and stress responses, thiol reductases (TRs) harbour ...
