Converting the Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase from Giardia lamblia to a Hypoxanthine-guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
Guanine phosphoribosyltransferase from Giardia lamblia, a key enzyme in the purine salvage pathway, is a potential target for anti-giardiasis chemotherapy. Recent structural determination of GPRTase (Shi, W., Munagala, N. R., Wang, C. C., Li, C. M., Tyler, P. C., Furneaux, R. H., Grubmeyer, C., Schramm, V. L., and Almo, S. C.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Radiological Evaluation of Huntington’s Disease: A Case Report [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a rare neurodegenerative condition inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, where Gamma Amino Butyric Acid-ergic (GABAergic) neurons in the basal ganglia progressively deteriorate.

Beyond guanine quartets: cation-induced formation of homogenous and chimeric DNA tetraplexes incorporating iso-guanine and guanine

Chemistry & Biology, 1997
iso-Guanine (iso-G) is the purine component of an isomeric Watson-Crick base pair that may have existed prebiotically. By comparing the abiotic molecular recognition properties of iso-G and its complement, iso-cytosine (iso-C), with those of genomic nucleotide bases, it may be possible to explain the exclusion of the iso-G-iso-C base pair from modern ...

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...

Protonated nucleobases are not fully ionized in their chloride salt crystals and form metastable base pairs further stabilized by the surrounding anions

IUCrJ, 2018
This paper presents experimental charge-density studies of cytosinium chloride, adeninium chloride hemihydrate and guaninium dichloride crystals based on ultra-high-resolution X-ray diffraction data and extensive theoretical calculations.

Multi‐omic profiling of squamous cell lung cancer identifies metabolites and related genes associated with squamous cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using multi‐omic characterization, we aimed to identify key regulators specific to squamous cell lung carcinoma (SqCC). SqCC‐specific differentially expressed genes were integrated with metabolics data. High expression of the creatine transporter SLC6A8, along with elevated creatine levels, appeared to be a distinct metabolic feature of SqCC.

Mitosene-DNA adducts. Characterization of two major DNA monoadducts formed by 1,10-bis(acetoxy)-7-methoxymitosene upon reductive activation [PDF]

, 1997
Reductive activation of racemic 1,10-bis(acetoxy)-7-methoxymitosene WV15 in the presence of DNA, followed by enzymatic digestion and HPLC analysis, revealed the formation of various DNA adducts.
