Trisoxazole Macrolides Potentiate the Microtubule Assembly and Antimitotic Activities of Taxanes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Photoaffinity experiments identified tubulin as a new target of mycalolides. Though weakly cytotoxic, the trisoxazole macrolactone moiety enhanced paclitaxel's microtubule assembly and antimitotic effects. Molecular modeling studies suggested that MyC stabilizes α/β‐tubulin heterodimer interactions.

Pyruvate kinase directly generates GTP in glycolysis, supporting growth and contributing to guanosine toxicity

mBio
Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is essential for macromolecular biosynthesis, and its intracellular levels are tightly regulated in bacteria. Loss of the alarmone (p)ppGpp disrupts GTP regulation in Bacillus subtilis, causing cell death in the presence of ...

Compensatory Interplay Between Clarin‐1 and Clarin‐2 Deafness‐Associated Proteins Governs Phenotypic Variability in Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...

Dissipatively Fueled Unidirectionally Communicating DNA Circuits That Control Biocatalysis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Unidirectionally communicating, out‐of‐equilibrium DNA circuits are used to control enzyme activity. Transient DNAzyme activation generates fuel for temporal trypsin activation. Cyclic fuel‐driven hybridization and exonuclease‐mediated reset enable precise control over lifetimes, which is analyzed using combined experimental and computational ...

Automatically Defining Protein Words for Diverse Functional Predictions Based on Attention Analysis of a Protein Language Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Understanding protein sequence–function relationships remains challenging due to poorly defined motifs and limited residue‐level annotations. An annotation‐agnostic framework is introduced that segments protein sequences into “protein words” using attention patterns from protein language models.

The Role of Chemistry Across Disciplines From Humanities to Life Sciences in Understanding Complexity and Emergence

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This study explores the origins of life by linking prebiotic chemistry, the emergence of information‐carrying molecules such as RNA and proteins, and philosophical questions about consciousness. The study emphasizes the role of molecular evolution in the Central Dogma and provides insights into the chemical origins of biology and the basis of life's ...

Deciphering the Impact of RAC1‐SPTAN1 in ARPKD Cystogenesis Using Multifaceted Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Distal/connecting tubules expressing SLC8A1 have been suggested as a potential origin of ARPKD cysts. SPTAN1 has been identified as a key molecule in ARPKD cyst formation. Restoring SPTAN1 in PKHD1−/− organoids reduced cyst formation, normalized calcium levels, and decreased RAC1/c‐FOS expression, highlighting SPTAN1's role in ARPKD and the potential ...

Small‐Molecule Activation of mRNA Translation by Click‐to‐Release Reaction in Cells

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new method to control mRNA activity using bioorthogonal click‐to‐release reactions is presented. The 5′ cap is modified with a trans‐cyclooctene (TCO) that quickly reacts with hydroxyaryl‐tetrazines and efficiently releases the native cap 0. TCO‐capped mRNAs are initially translationally inactive but can be activated with non‐toxic, cell‐permeable ...
