Does inter-organellar proteostasis impact yeast quality and performance during beer fermentation? [PDF]
During beer production, yeast generate ethanol that is exported to the extracellular environment where it accumulates. Depending on the initial carbohydrate concentration in the wort a high concentration of ethanol can be achieved in beer, often higher than 20% (v/v). It is noteworthy that the effects of elevated ethanol concentrations generated during

PepMLM: Target Sequence-Conditioned Generation of Therapeutic Peptide Binders via Span Masked Language Modeling [PDF]
Target proteins that lack accessible binding pockets and conformational stability have posed increasing challenges for drug development. Induced proximity strategies, such as PROTACs and molecular glues, have thus gained attention as pharmacological alternatives, but still require small molecule docking at binding pockets for targeted protein ...

Association of the 1q25 diabetes-specific coronary heart disease locus with slterations of the γ-glutamyl cycle and increased methylglyoxal levels in endothelial cells [PDF]
A chromosome 1q25 variant (rs10911021) has been associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) in type 2 diabetes. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), the risk allele "C" is associated with lower expression of the adjacent gene GLUL ...

Regulation of plant glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle by posttranslational modifications
SUMMARY Plant glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are key pathways of central carbon metabolism. They facilitate energy transformation, provide redox balance, and supply the building blocks for biosynthetic processes that underpin plant survival, growth, and productivity.

Amino Acids as biomarkers in the SOD1G93A mouse model of ALS [PDF]
The development of therapies for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) has been hindered by the lack of biomarkers for both identifying early disease and for monitoring the effectiveness of drugs.

This research delineates the role of lysine demethylase 7A (KDM7A) in morphine‐induced reward memory and its effects on gene expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). The study identifies fascin actin‐bundling protein 1 (Fscn1) as a downstream target of KDM7A, affecting dendritic spine density and neuronal activity, revealing novel insights ...

ABSTRACT Several reports have demonstrated that CD147, an N‐glycosylated protein that is exchanged by cells in soluble form or through small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), can promote cancer progression. However, its activity related to EVs in colorectal cancer (CRC) is still not fully understood.

Optimal experimental design in an EGFR signaling and down-regulation model [PDF]
We apply the methods of optimal experimental design to a differential equation model for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling, trafficking, and down-regulation. The model incorporates the role of a recently discovered protein complex made up of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, Cbl, the guanine exchange factor (GEF), Cool-1 (Beta-Pix), and the Rho ...

Identification and in vitro Analysis of the GatD/MurT Enzyme-Complex Catalyzing Lipid II Amidation in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
The peptidoglycan of Staphylococcus aureus is characterized by a high degree of crosslinking and almost completely lacks free carboxyl groups, due to amidation of the D-glutamic acid in the stem peptide.
