Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Promiscuity of the Euonymus Carbohydrate-Binding Domain
Plants synthesize small amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins on exposure to stress. For example, on exposure to drought, high salt, wounding and by treatment with some plant hormones or by pathogen attack. In contrast to the ‘classical’ plant lectins

The site of ribonucleic acid synthesis in the isolated nucleus [PDF]
There is still controversy concerning the primary site of RNA synthesis in the cell.(1) When tissues are radioautographed after administration of radioactive inorganic phosphorus or radioactive RNA(2) precursors such as tritiated uridine or cytidine, it ...

Shedding of host autophagic proteins from the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane of Plasmodium berghei [PDF]
The hepatic stage of the malaria parasite Plasmodium is accompanied by an autophagy-mediated host response directly targeting the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane (PVM) harbouring the parasite.

Salting‐in the microbial cytoplasm [PDF]
Microbial organisms are known to rely for osmotic regulatory purposes on an assortment of low molecular weight molecules earmarked for function as osmolytes. The so‐called ‘compatible’ subclass of osmolyte, notably glycine betaine, is distinguished by a propensity to avoid the large bound fraction of cytoplasmic water adsorbed at the surface of ...

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Protein Mobility in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli [PDF]
The rate of protein diffusion in bacterial cytoplasm may constrain a variety of cellular functions and limit the rates of many biochemical reactions in vivo. In this paper, we report noninvasive measurements of the apparent diffusion coefficient of green
