The bacterial helicase-primase interaction: a common structural/functional module [PDF]

, 2005
The lack of a high-resolution structure for the bacterial helicase-primase complex and the fragmented structural information for the individual proteins have been hindering our detailed understanding of this crucial binary protein interaction.

Microprotein MP104 Promotes Malignant Progression of Colorectal Cancer Through Regulating Protein Translation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A previously unrecognized microprotein, MP104, encoded by ZEB1‐AS1, emerges as a critical driver of colorectal cancer progression. MP104 links ubiquitin‐mediated protein degradation with translational reprogramming via the UBE2O–AMPKα2–mTOR–EIF4B axis, revealing an unrecognized layer of oncogenic regulation.

New Insights Into DNA Helicases as Druggable Targets for Cancer Therapy

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018
Small molecules that deter the functions of DNA damage response machinery are postulated to be useful for enhancing the DNA damaging effects of chemotherapy or ionizing radiation treatments to combat cancer by impairing the proliferative capacity of ...

Human Dental Pulp Stem Cell Secretome Restores Ischemic Stroke–Impaired Motor and Cognitive Functions by Reprogramming Redox and Inflammatory Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human dental pulp stem cell secretome emerges as a cell‐free therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke by reprogramming redox and inflammatory signaling. hDPSC secretome‐derived antioxidant and immunomodulatory factors suppress the TLR4–NOX–ROS–NF‐κB axis, reduce microglial inflammatory responses and apoptosis, and promote neurogenesis, angiogenesis ...

FtsK: a groovy helicase [PDF]

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2006
Recent additions to the helicase family include motor proteins that do not actually unwind DNA, but rather translocate it. By sensing short polar sequences that orient the bacterial chromosome, the FtsK helicase translocates DNA so as to align the termini of replicated chromosomes with each other, facilitating the late stages of chromosome segregation.

Investigation of the guanine quadruplex resolving activity of the DEAH-box RNA helicase RHAU [PDF]

, 2012
Generally depicted as single- or double-stranded molecules, nucleic acids sequences can adopt various forms of stable secondary structures. In particular, guanine-riche sequence of DNA and RNA can form atypical four-stranded helical structures termed G ...

Genetic Ablation and Multi‐Omics Profiling Reveal CEP55 as a Key Driver of Tumorigenesis in Diverse Cancer Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genetic ablation of Cep55 in Pten‐deficient mouse models delays tumorigenesis. Integrated multi‐omics analyses (proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and spatial transcriptomics) reveal that CEP55 regulates oncogenic signaling (RAS/ERK, PI3K/AKT), integrin/FAK‐mediated adhesion, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and endocytosis.

Visualizing helicases unwinding DNA at the single molecule level. [PDF]

, 2010
DNA helicases are motor proteins that catalyze the unwinding of double-stranded DNA into single-stranded DNA using the free energy from ATP hydrolysis. Single molecule approaches enable us to address detailed mechanistic questions about how such enzymes ...

DDX3x Regulates NINJ1 Transcription via Histone Lactylation in Sepsis Associated‐Acute Kidney Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a potential therapeutic approach for sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury (SA‐AKI). We found that during SA‐AKI, reduced expression of DDX3x in renal tubular epithelial cells mediates histone delactylation, which in turn upregulates NINJ1 transcription and triggers tubular cell death. Conversely, Odetiglucan confers protection by

Two opposite abilities of the infectious bronchitis virus helicase Nsp13: separating the duplex and promoting the annealing of single-stranded nucleic acid

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Genome replication is a key step in the coronavirus life cycle and requires the involvement of a range of virally encoded non-structural proteins. The non-structural protein 13 (Nsp13) of coronaviruses is a highly conserved helicase and is considered an ...
