Artesunate Nanoplatform Targets the Serine–MAPK Axis in Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts to Reverse Photothermal Resistance in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The artesunate nanoplatform selectively targets ECM CAF, functioning as a GTPase inhibitor through disruption of intracellular serine homeostasis. This metabolic intervention effectively suppresses MAPK cascade activity, which consequently inhibits PTT‐induced CAF to ECM CAF differentiation.

Autopromotion of K-Ras4B Feedback Activation Through an SOS-Mediated Long-Range Allosteric Effect

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
The Ras-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors Son of Sevenless (SOS) regulates Ras activation by converting inactive GDP-bound to active GTP-bound states.

Analysis of Binding Site Hot Spots on the Surface of Ras GTPase [PDF]

, 2011
We have recently discovered an allosteric switch in Ras, bringing an additional level of complexity to this GTPase whose mutants are involved in nearly 30% of cancers.

LRRC8A Regulates Outer Hair Cell Volume and Electromotility and is Required for Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies LRRC8A‐dependent volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs) as essential for cochlear outer hair cells' electromotility and auditory signal amplification. LRRC8A deficiency disrupts cell volume control, impairs auditory sensitivity, and causes deafness, while targeted LRRC8A re‐expression restores auditory function.

Reconstitution of microtubule into GTP-responsive nanocapsules

Nature Communications, 2022
AbstractNanocapsules that collapse in response to guanosine triphosphate (GTP) have the potential as drug carriers for efficiently curing diseases caused by cancer and RNA viruses because GTP is present at high levels in such diseased cells and tissues.

Dynein‐Dependent Endo‐Lysosomal Degradation Drives Lewy Body Disorders Accompanied by Aβ Pathology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of Aβ plaques on α‐synuclein (αSyn) pathologies in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Co‐culturing primary neurons with AD mouse brain slices reveals impaired dynein‐dependent organelle trafficking, affecting αSyn degradation. Activating Rab7 restores this process, reducing αSyn inclusions.

Prolonging assembly through dissociation:A self assembly paradigm in microtubules

, 2011
We study a one-dimensional model of microtubule assembly/disassembly in which GTP bound to tubulins within the microtubule undergoes stochastic hydrolysis.

Ectopic A-lattice seams destabilize microtubules [PDF]

, 2014
Natural microtubules typically include one A-lattice seam within an otherwise helically symmetric B-lattice tube. It is currently unclear how A-lattice seams influence microtubule dynamic instability.

H3K36me3‐Guided m6A Modification of Oncogenic L1CAM‐AS1 Drives Macrophage Polarization and Immunotherapy Resistance in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
L1CAM‐AS1 is identified as a novel H3K36me3‐guided, m6A‐modified long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. L1CAM‐AS1 stabilizes RAN protein, enhances M2 macrophages‐released CCL5‐induced nuclear import of RELA, activates the NF‐κB signaling, up‐regulates CCL2 expression and secretion from HCC cells, and enhances M2 ...
