RNA cytidine acetyltransferase of small-subunit ribosomal RNA: identification of acetylation sites and the responsible acetyltransferase in fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The eukaryotic small-subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) has two evolutionarily conserved acetylcytidines. However, the acetylation sites and the acetyltransferase responsible for the acetylation have not been identified.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Well‐Defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐Linked Oligosialosides

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Well‐defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐linked oligosialic acids of different lengths can be prepared by employing recombinant bacterial polysialyltransferases in combination with chemically modified CMP‐Neu5Ac derivatives. After transfer, a sialoside is formed bearing an artificial entity, which blocks further glycosylation.

Biotin‐ and Chloroalkane‐Modified Nucleotides for Dual Display of Proteins on DNA Through Streptavidin and Halotag Binding

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Modified 2’‐deoxy‐7‐deazaadenosine bearing a chlorohexyl moiety and 2’‐deoxycytidine nucleotides bearing biotin were used in the enzymatic synthesis of dually modified dsDNAs that served as scaffolds for display of halotag and monomeric streptavidin proteins.

Single‐Cell RNA Editing Identifies T Cell ADAR1 as a Key Regulator of Immune Exhaustion and Anti‐PD‐1 Resistance in Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA editing analysis identifies ADAR1 as a regulator of dysfunctional T cell states in colorectal cancer. Elevated ADAR1 activity promotes T cell exhaustion and impairs antitumor immunity partly through TGF‐β‐SMAD signaling, contributing to anti‐PD‐1 resistance and highlighting T cell ADAR1 as a potential therapeutic target and biomarker ...

An Enzymatic Platform for Late‐Stage (Radio)isotope Labelling of Oligonucleotides With Methyltransferases

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
State‐of‐the‐art synthesis of radiolabelled oligonucleotides involves multi‐step synthesis with high costs, extended timelines and significant radioactive waste generation. Herein, a dual‐methyltransferase platform enables late‐stage, site‐specific labelling, overcoming these limitations through reduced costs, faster turnaround and minimal radioactive ...

Glutathione‐Responsive Acyl‐Modifications for Targeted RNA Decaging and Prolonged Protein Synthesis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The self‐immolation of disulfide‐based mRNA modifications in response to endogenous glutathione (GSH) promotes a gradual release of translatable mRNA within the cell, leading to improved nuclease resistance, tunable release properties, and a significant increase (up to 600%) of target protein production over time. This strategy offers an exciting proof
