Structure-guided protein engineering increases enzymatic activities of the SGNH family esterases

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020
Background Esterases and lipases hydrolyze short-chain esters and long-chain triglycerides, respectively, and therefore play essential roles in the synthesis and decomposition of ester bonds in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

AHR‐Responsive Carbon Dots Orchestrate Skin Wound Healing and Colonic Mucosal Repair via Treg‐Mediated Macrophage Efferocytosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Guided by pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)‐responsive carbon dots were synthesized. They bind directly to AHR and expand gut‐resident regulatory T (Treg) cells. Treg‐derived C‐C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CCL1) enhances macrophage efferocytosis, creating a pro‐regenetative niche that promotes colonic mucosal ...

Downsizing Electrophilic MAX‐Derived Helical Zipper Peptides to Covalently Bind and Degrade Oncogenic MYC

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Oncogenic MYC is a transcription factor that is difficult to inhibit. However, precise positioning of an acrylamide electrophile in MAX to covalently bond to the unique Cys438 in MYC, enabled shortening and optimizing of MAX‐derived, helix‐constrained peptides with high‐affinity and selectivity.

Dual‐Target Nectin‐4/FAP Heterobivalent Probe 68Ga/177Lu‐FZ‐NF‐1 for Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer: Preclinical Theranostic Evaluation and First‐in‐Human Translation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel hetero‐bivalent agent, 68Ga/177Lu‐FZ‐NF‐1, concurrently targets Nectin‐4 and FAP in triple‐negative breast cancer. It yields significant preclinical tumor regression and clinically identifies additional metastatic lesions missed by 18F‐FDG PET, demonstrating promising theranostic potential for personalized management.

Should I Stay or Should I Go—Leveraging an Overlooked Feature of Click‐to‐Release Chemistry for Affinity Labeling

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Click‐to‐release (C2R) chemistry is redirected from payload liberation toward ligand‐directed covalent protein labeling through a transient dihydropyridazine methide (DHP‐methide). This concept opens the way to dual‐functional systems combining covalent target engagement with controlled effector release.

Critical Roles of O‐Acetylation Revealed by Synthetic Trisaccharide Antigens for a Broad‐Spectrum Anti‐Salmonella Vaccine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A synthetic glycoconjugate vaccine based on a diacetylated Salmonella trisaccharide elicits broadly protective antibodies against four major human pathogenic serovars. Mechanistic studies identify 2,3‐di‐O‐acetylation of rhamnose as a critical determinant of antigen recognition and breadth of protection, establishing a new strategy for broad‐spectrum ...
