Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel N 4 -substituted sulfonamides: acetamides derivatives as dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors

BMC Chemistry, 2019
Background Sulfonamide derivatives are of great attention due to their wide spectrum of biological activities. Sulfonamides conjugated with acetamide fragments exhibit antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The inhibition dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)

Plant Metabolites Screening Identifies 7‐epi‐10‐Deacetyltaxol Inhibiting Cell Division by Interfering With the Cell Cycle and Microtubule Organization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, an efficient screening system is developed for plant metabolites to find a compound, 7‐epi‐10‐deacetyltaxol, inhibits tissue elongation. It suppresses plant growth through brassinosteroid and microtubule pathways. It is later applied to animal cells and human tumor organoids, resulting in similar cell division suppression. These findings

Trimethoprim resistant dihydrofolate reductases in normal faecal flora isolated in India [PDF]

, 1994
A high incidence of resistance to trimethoprim has been shown in the normal faecal flora in a population in south India. The dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) genes mediating transferable resistance to trimethoprim have been identified.

A silent sulfonamide-resistant microbial world: The curious case of missing DHPS in candidate phyla radiation

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Candidate phyla radiation (CPR) microbes exhibit minimal genomes, episymbiotic/parasitic lifestyles, and metabolic dependencies on host cells. In this study, we look for the presence of dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) and dihydrofolate reductase, key ...

A Two-Enzyme Adaptive Unit within Bacterial Folate Metabolism

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Enzyme function and evolution are influenced by the larger context of a metabolic pathway. Deleterious mutations or perturbations in one enzyme can often be compensated by mutations to others.

Harnessing ferroptosis from multilayer defense networks to nanoplatforms for specific cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials target metabolically‐regulated ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Iron‐based or alternative nanoplatforms integrate ferroptosis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. They enable stimulus‐responsive therapies (photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic) activated by near‐infrared, light, or ultrasound, achieving potent synergistic ...

The presence and distribution of reduced folates in Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase mutants. [PDF]

, 1990
Escherichia coli DNA photolyase was overproduced and purified from each of two mutant E. coli strains lacking dihydrofolate reductase. The extent of over-production in the mutants was comparable to that seen in the wild type strain.

Combined gene deletion of dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase and pteridine reductase in Leishmania infantum.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Our understanding of folate metabolism in Leishmania has greatly benefited from studies of resistance to the inhibitor methotrexate (MTX). Folates are reduced in Leishmania by the bifunctional dihydrofolate reductase thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) and by
