1,10-Phenanthroline Inhibits Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchoring by Preventing Phosphoethanolamine Addition to Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Precursors [PDF]

Biochemistry, 2001
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) moiety is widely used to anchor a functionally diverse group of proteins to the plasma membrane of eukaryotes. In mammals, the predominant glycan structure of the GPI anchor consists of EthN-P-Man-Man-(EthN-P)Man-GlcN attached to an inositol phospholipid.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycopeptides [PDF]

Chemical Communications, 2010
MUC1 glycopeptide was efficiently coupled to glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) derivatives by sortase A (SrtA), verifying that SrtA can accept sterically hindered glycopeptide as substrate for ligation with GPIs. This work has established a practical method for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of GPI-linked glycopeptides.

Decoding the Structural Complexity of Fungal α‐ and β‐Glucan Matrix via Statistical Analysis of Solid‐State NMR Chemical Shifts

Israel Journal of Chemistry, Volume 66, Issue 4, July 2026.
Solid‐state NMR combined with principal component analysis enables quantitative classification of fungal α‐ and β‐glucan architectures in intact cell walls, revealing conserved triple‐helical β‐1,3‐glucan conformations across species and predominantly bundled‐sheet α‐1,3‐glucan assemblies with condition‐dependent polymorphism. Statistical clustering of

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 1556-1590, June 2026.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Bioenhancer‐Driven Modulation of Membrane Dynamics Improves B‐Vitamin Uptake in Caco‐2 Cells

ChemFoodChem, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
Natural bioenhancers such as extracts from ginger, turmeric, black pepper, and spearmint increase the uptake of vitamins B1, B5, B6, and B7 in Caco‐2 cells. Micellized formulations further increase efficacy. These findings indicate that altered membrane fluidity contributes to enhanced cellular absorption, providing a new route to improve vitamin B ...

Exploring and Targeting the Connection of Iron and Copper Homeostasis to Neurodegenerative Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Iron and copper dyshomeostasis, along with their interactions with key intrinsically disordered proteins (e.g., Aβ, tau, α‐synuclein) have a strong implication in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Prion diseases (PrDs), Huntington's disease (HD), Wilson's disease (WD),

Physicochemical Properties and Mechanisms of Oil‐In‐Water Emulsion Formation and Stabilization by Yeast Protein Ingredients From Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Emulsion formation is associated with the soluble phase, while the presence of yeast cells enhances stability through a steric mechanism, with a protein‐to‐oil ratio greater than 1:10 required to prevent oil droplet coalescence. ABSTRACT This study explored the nutrient composition, protein profile, physicochemical and emulsifying properties of ...

CD90 Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression by Regulating SLC1A5‐Mediated Glutamine Metabolism Through YY1

Cancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 6, Page 1748-1765, June 2026.
The CD90‐YY1‐SLC1A5 axis plays a significant role in gastric cancer. CD90 promotes the binding of YY1 to the SLC1A5 promoter. CD90 regulates SLC1A5‐mediated glutamine metabolism and ferroptosis. ABSTRACT CD90 (THY1) is a cell surface glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of various malignant tumors.
