Defining substrate specificities of human RNA capping methyltransferases through quantitative assessment of independent yet cooperative activities. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Human RNA capping is critical for mRNA splicing, protection of RNA from 5′ exonucleases in the cytoplasm, and targeting to the ribosome. Human RNMT, CMTR1, and CMTR2 are RNA methyltransferases involved in the RNA capping process. They play a significant role in the proliferation and differentiation of embryonic stem cells and have been ...

Evolution of Prime Editing: Enhancing Efficiency and Expanding Capacity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Most rare diseases are caused by genetic mutations. Prime editing (PE) has emerged as a versatile tool capable of inducing diverse mutations without generating DNA double‐strand breaks. Despite its significant clinical potential, PE faces limitations in terms of efficiency and scalability.

Novel roles of sulfur metabolism in stress‐controlled stomata aperture regulation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Stomatal closure allows plants to conserve water by reducing transpiration during drought. Surprisingly, the assimilation of the macronutrient sulfur is intimately connected to the drought stress response. This Tansley insight will only briefly touch on the general impact of sulfate assimilation on the production of drought‐response metabolites.

The Ubiquitin Ligase Zinc Finger SWIM Domain‐Containing Protein 8 Regulates Oligodendrocyte Development Through the Argonaute2/MicroRNA‐7 Axis

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 5, May 2026.
ZSWIM8, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that broadly targets IDR‐rich proteins, drives MiR‐7‐dependent AGO2 degradation and the turnover of many RBPs. Loss of ZSWIM8 leads to MiR‐7 accumulation in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and myelination defects in the developing brain. ABSTRACT Proteostasis of proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) is of

Molecular Responses to Climate Change: How Warming and Acidification Reshape the Proteome and Phosphoproteome of the Endangered Mira Chub

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Global environmental change affects organisms, including their physiology. In freshwater ecosystems, where migration is limited, populations often rely on phenotypic plasticity to respond. While transcriptomics has been widely used to study stress responses at the molecular level, less is known about the proteome, which reflects post ...

RNA‐Based Therapies for Inherited Metabolic Disorders

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) are a diverse and complex group of genetic conditions resulting from deficiencies in enzymes, transporters, or cofactors. These deficiencies lead to metabolic dysfunction and severe clinical consequences. Despite significant progress in understanding their molecular basis, treatment options remain limited ...

Are Tetrapleura tetraptera Phytochemicals Druggable Against SARS‐CoV‐2 Papain‐Like Protein? A Computational Approach

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
SARS‐CoV2 Omicron and its substrains are still a critical global health issue and extremely contagious, even with widespread vaccination efforts. Hospitalizations and mortality rates linked to these variants are still prevalent. Current therapeutic options face challenges, including low effectiveness, suboptimal pharmacokinetics, and drug resistance ...

Population‐Based Multi‐Omics and Cohort Study Identifying Predictive Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets for Psoriatic Disease

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Psoriatic disease (PsD) is a chronic skin disease, with challenges in early risk stratification and drug development. Through gene‐level causal inference framework and expression level validation, combined with longitudinal cohort study, CDSN and PRSS8 have been identified as candidate biomarkers and therapeutic targets for PsD.

Regulation of R‐Loop Dynamics by Proteins and Long Noncoding RNAs: An Emerging Paradigm for Cancer Treatment

Cancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 2, Page 297-307, February 2026.
R‐loops are three‐stranded nucleic acid structures whose dysregulation leads to genomic instability and cancer progression. This review summarizes the protein and lncRNA machineries that regulate R‐loop dynamics and discusses the therapeutic potential of targeting these pathways in cancer.
