Structural basis of measles virus polymerase inhibition by nonnucleoside inhibitor ERDRP-0519
Nature CommunicationsERDRP-0519 is a potent nonnucleoside inhibitor active against measles virus (MeV) and other Morbilliviruses. Here we report cryo-EM structures of the compound bound to MeV polymerase complexes at 2.73 Å and 2.48 Å resolution, revealing a unique binding ...

Quantifying Periodicity in Omics Data
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2014 Oscillations play a significant role in biological systems, with many examples in the fast, ultradian, circadian, circalunar and yearly time domains. However, determining periodicity in such data can be problematic.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Transcriptional Regulation of the Huntingtin Gene
Journal of Huntington's Disease, 2018 Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG trinucleotide expansion in the HTT gene, which encodes for an abnormal polyglutamine tract in the huntingtin protein (HTT). This review examines the known mechanisms of HTT gene regulation.

Structure of the measles virus ternary polymerase complex
Nature CommunicationsMeasles virus (MeV) is a highly contagious pathogen that causes significant morbidity worldwide. Its polymerase machinery, composed of the large protein (L) and phosphoprotein (P), is crucial for viral replication and transcription, making it a promising

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Structure of the Nipah virus polymerase phosphoprotein complex
Nature CommunicationsThe Nipah virus (NiV), a member of the Paramyxoviridae family, is notorious for its high fatality rate in humans. The RNA polymerase machinery of NiV, comprising the large protein L and the phosphoprotein P, is essential for viral replication. This study

Initiating head development in mouse embryos: integrating signalling and transcriptional activity [PDF]
Open Biology, 2012 The generation of an embryonic body plan is the outcome of inductive interactions between the progenitor tissues that underpin their specification, regionalization and morphogenesis.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.
