Photobiomodulation‑Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Neural Differentiation via UFL1‑Mediated UFMylation in Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Photobiomodulated microglia release engineered extracellular vesicles that deliver UFL1 to the injured spinal cord. UFL1 competitively binds p53 with MDM2, inhibiting p53 ubiquitination and stabilizing p53 signaling. This dual mechanism simultaneously promotes anti‐inflammatory microglial polarization and directs neural stem cell differentiation toward

ZBTB18 Dysfunction Promotes Neuropathic Pain via CHD4‐based Epigenetic Disinhibition of CLIC1 Channels in Sensory Neurons

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify a novel functional role of ZBTB18 in regulating trigeminal‐mediated neuropathic pain. Nerve injury reduces ZBTB18 in trigeminal ganglion neurons, impairing CHD4/NuRD recruitment and de‐repressing Clic1. Elevated CLIC1 enhances chloride channel activity and neuronal hyperexcitability, thereby driving pain.

Distinct Cleavage Trajectories Mediated by DNA and RNA Substrate in Argonaute From Methanocaldococcus Fervens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study characterizes MfAgo, an enzyme exhibiting highly efficient DNA‐guided DNA and RNA cleavage capability. Precise RNA cleavage strictly requires dimerization to stabilize the PIWI‐loop region, while its robust DNA cleavage functions in a dimerization‐independent manner.

The molecular crosstalk between RECQ helicases and associated proteins in human genetic disorders

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
RECQ helicases involve a family of DNA unwinding enzymes, namely, RECQ1, Bloom syndrome protein, Werner syndrome protein, RECQL4, and RECQ5. These proteins interact with various proteins to form complexes and carry out a range of physiological functions.

DDX21 Enhances Radiosensitivity in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Suppressing MK2‐Mediated DNA Damage Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DDX21 suppresses MK2 activation by directly inhibiting Thr334 phosphorylation in a p38‐independent manner, thereby impairing DNA damage response. Clinically, patients with well‐differentiated tumors exhibiting high DDX21 expression are more likely to benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy, whereas those with low DDX21 levels are predisposed to ...

Snf2 family ATPases and DExx box helicases:differences and unifying concepts from high-resolution crystal structures [PDF]

, 2006
Proteins with sequence similarity to the yeast Snf2 protein form a large family of ATPases that act to alter the structure of a diverse range of DNA-protein structures including chromatin. Snf2 family enzymes are related in sequence to DExx box helicases,

An ATP‐Driven N Protein–DDX21 Molecular Switch Dynamically Controls SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA G‐Quadruplex Heterogeneity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An ATP‐driven molecular switch, comprising viral nucleocapsid (N) protein and host helicase DDX21, dynamically modulates SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA G‐quadruplex (G4) heterogeneity. These viral G4s feature non‐canonical ion‐dependence and act as energy‐sensitive structural checkpoints.

Structural and functional insights into acidophilic helicases as DNA-unwinding motors

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
In motor-assisted nanopore sensing, increasing the salt concentration improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); however, helicases used as motor proteins generally fail to sustain efficient unwinding under high-salt conditions.

CHD8‐Dependent Chromatin Licensing Sustains Trophoblast Stem Cell Transcriptional Programs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, Huang et al., identify chromatin remodeler CHD8 as an essential factor in TSC maintenance and placental development. CHD8‐dependent chromatin accessibility supports the occupancy of key trophoblast TFs and is coupled to KMT2A‐associated H3K4me3 deposition at TSC stem and cell cycle genes, providing a permissive chromatin environment for ...
