Activation of Interferon Signaling in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells Contributes to Apoptosis Resistance via a JAK-Src/STAT3/Mcl-1 Signaling Pathway

Biomedicines, 2021
Besides their antiviral and immunomodulatory functions, type I (α/β) and II (γ) interferons (IFNs) exhibit either beneficial or detrimental effects on tumor progression.

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis intracellular survival-related virulence factors via CRISPR-based eukaryotic-like secretory protein mutant library screen

Microbiology Spectrum
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), remains a serious infectious disease posing significant global health challenges. A critical evolutionary feature of M.tb is its genome encoding a set of eukaryotic-like secretory proteins ...

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Novel and reported compensatory mutations in rpoABC genes found in drug resistant tuberculosis outbreaks

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundRifampicin (RIF) is a key first-line drug used to treat tuberculosis, a primarily pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. RIF resistance is caused by mutations in rpoB, at the cost of slower growth and reduced transcription ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Elucidation of critical chemical moieties of metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors and prioritisation of target metallo-β-lactamases

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry
The urgent demand for effective countermeasures against metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) necessitates development of novel metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors (MBLIs).

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

The spread of antimalarial drug resistance: A mathematical model with practical implications for ACT drug policies [PDF]

, 2008
Most malaria-endemic countries are implementing a change in antimalarial drug policy to artemisinin combination therapy (ACT). The impact of different drug choices and implementation strategies is uncertain.

Modulation of PKM alternative splicing by PTBP1 promotes gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer cells [PDF]

, 2015
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and incurable disease. Poor prognosis is due to multiple reasons, including acquisition of resistance to gemcitabine, the first-line chemotherapeutic approach.
