Degrading GPX4 via Biomimetic Nanoparticle‐Mediated In Situ Synthesis of Deep‐Learning‐Designed Binder‐Degron Chimeras for Prostate Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A deep‐learning‐designed binder is fused to a combinatorial degron to create a binder‐degron chimera (bdC) that recruits the CUL2‐RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Encapsulation in a prostate‐cancer‐targeted, CD47‐camouflaged nanocarrier enables tumor‐specific in situ bdC expression, triggering GPX4 degradation and ferroptosis, thereby establishing a ...

Topological Quantum Biomaterials Enable Pyroptosis‐Senescence Coupling for Enhanced Colorectal Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reports conceptually unprecedented topological quantum biomaterials derived from engineered Pd3Sn nanostrips for oncological applications. Their near‐Fermi‐level electronic architecture and superior interfacial charge transport facilitate ultrasound‐amplified redox reactions and efficient ROS generation.

Galactokinase 1 Positively Regulates Mitochondrial Respiration by Phosphorylating TIMM13 as a Protein Kinase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
GALK1 acts as a protein kinase beyond the phosphorylation of galactose. GALK1 phosphorylates TIMM13 at Y73 in the cytoplasm. This phosphorylation prevents premature oxidative folding of TIMM13 and ensures its entrance into the intermembrane space of mitochondrion, positively regulating mitochondrial respiration.

Cysteine Thioaldehydes: Photolytic Generation, Reactivity, and Biological Implications

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Photolysis of cysteine phenacylsulfides bearing non‐conjugating electron‐withdrawing substituents leads to high conversions into cysteine thioaldehydes through a Norrish type‐II pathway. This methodology enabled the study of the aqueous reactivity of these important biosynthetic intermediates, which, depending on peptide sequence, pH and buffer ...

Huntingtin Aggregate‐Responsive Autophagy Gene Circuit Mitigates Disease Pathology in R6/2 Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CD98‐mediated receptor‐mediated transcytosis enables LIP‐CD98 nanocarriers to cross the blood–brain barrier and deliver ARAA to neurons. mHTT aggregates activate the 11G–NarX sensor, initiating Auto‐P and Trans‐P signaling through the VP48–NarL relay.

Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage
