Identification of a Nonribosomal Peptide Analog With Activity Against Multiple Gram‐Positive Bacteria via a Synthetic Bioinformatic Natural Product Discovery Approach

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The genome of Rhodococcus erythropolis D‐1 was analyzed by bioinformatic tools to mine a novel nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene cluster. A nonribosomal peptide analog ZURJC5 associated with the NRPS was chemically synthesized. Through structure‐activity relationship studies, ZURJC28 was ultimately obtained and showed antibacterial activity ...

Topoisomerases and cancer chemotherapy: recent advances and unanswered questions [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

F1000Research, 2019
DNA topoisomerases are enzymes that catalyze changes in the torsional and flexural strain of DNA molecules. Earlier studies implicated these enzymes in a variety of processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including DNA replication, transcription ...

Multi‐regional Organoid Biobank Reveals FAK‐ACSL1‐Driven Doxorubicin‐Resistance and Predictive Biomarkers in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study established a high‐quality organoid biobank derived from 68 tumor sites across 50 Chinese patients, elucidated the drug sensitivity‐based molecular subtyping in breast cancer, and revealed a novel mechanism of drug resistance mediated by the FAK‐ACSL1 pathway.

Pasta, a Versatile Transcriptomic Clock, Maps the Chemical and Genetic Determinants of Aging and Rejuvenation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pasta is a transcriptomic aging clock built on an age‐shift learning framework and trained on 17 000 samples across 21 datasets. It accurately predicts relative biological age across tissues, platforms, and species, captures stemness‐to‐senescence transitions, and identifies age‐modulatory perturbations.

Trapping of the transport-segment DNA by the ATPase domains of a type II topoisomerase

Nature Communications, 2018
Type 2 topoisomerases alter DNA supercoiling by an ATP-dependent reaction involving DNA passage through a cleaved DNA duplex. Here the authors present the crystal structure of the ParE ATPase domains of S.

Mechanism of topology simplification by type II DNA topoisomerases [PDF]

, 2001
Type II DNA topoisomerases actively reduce the fractions of knotted and catenated circular DNA below thermodynamic equilibrium values. To explain this surprising finding, we designed a model in which topoisomerases introduce a sharp bend in DNA.

Chromatin Packing Domain Engineering Through the Manipulation of Nuclear Cationic States

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Manipulation of intranuclear divalent cation concentrations rapidly and reversibly remodels chromatin packing domains in living cells. Magnesium depletion disrupts domain compaction, heterochromatin organization, and transcriptional regulation, whereas magnesium loading promotes more compact and stable domains.

Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A topoisomerase IIIα, an archaeal enzyme with promiscuity in divalent cation dependence. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Topoisomerases play a fundamental role in genome stability, DNA replication and repair. As a result, topoisomerases have served as therapeutic targets of interest in Eukarya and Bacteria, two of the three domains of life.

The Natural Product Corramycin Acts as a DNA Gyrase Poison and Overcomes Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Corramycin, a myxobacterial natural product antibiotic, exhibits potent bactericidal activity against multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compound hijacks bacterial transporters such as BacA and OppABCD to enter the cell and inhibits DNA synthesis through a previously unrecognized mode of DNA gyrase poisoning, locking the enzyme in an ...
