ARR1 and AHP interactions in the multi-step phosphorelay system

Frontiers in Plant Science
Plants use multi-step phosphorelay (MSP) systems in response to exogenous and endogenous stimuli. Cytokinin and ethylene are among the factors that engage MSP signaling cascades but examples independent of phytohormones also exist.

Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

The extracytoplasmic linker peptide of the sensor protein SaeS tunes the kinase activity required for staphylococcal virulence in response to host signals.

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Bacterial pathogens often employ two-component systems (TCSs), typically consisting of a sensor kinase and a response regulator, to control expression of a set of virulence genes in response to changing host environments.

Covalent drug discovery: Progress against key targets, emerging strategies and lessons learnt

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent drug discovery is currently experiencing a boom in industrial and academic interest. To date, at least 75 covalent drugs have received regulatory approval, targeting both traditional target classes and more challenging proteins for which other approaches failed. In many cases, unique aspects of covalent targeting are essential for the

Targeting protein–protein interactions with reversible covalent modalities: Non‐cysteine chemistries

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are central to diverse cellular functions, and represent a rapidly expanding class of therapeutic targets. Advancements in covalent drug design have enabled small‐molecule drugs to overcome challenges associated with engaging these targets, such as limited durations of action and difficult‐to‐drug (expansive,

Cancer‐Specific Antihuman Podoplanin Antibody chLpMab‐2f Exerts Antitumor Effects Against Pleural Mesothelioma

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Cancer‐specific antihuman podoplanin antibody chLpMab‐2f exerted antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement‐dependent cytotoxicity against pleural mesothelioma (PM) cell lines. Additionally, chLpMab‐2f inhibited tumor progression in mice with subcutaneously and intrathoracically transplanted human PM cells.

FAM20B Related Skeletal Dysplasia: Expanding the Prenatal Phenotype

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
FAM20B encodes glycosaminoglycan xylosylkinase, a key enzyme in proteoglycan biosynthesis. We report compound heterozygous FAM20B variants causing severe, lethal skeletal dysplasia in three fetuses from two pregnancies. Disrupted glycosaminoglycan chain formation leads to abnormal cartilage and bone development, illustrating the essential role of ...

Circulating Rhythmic Metabolites and Causal Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Adults in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Circadian regulation of metabolism is an important factor in metabolic health, yet the role of rhythmic metabolites in Type 2 diabetes development remains poorly understood. This study investigated associations between circulating rhythmic metabolites and incident Type 2 diabetes risk and evaluated causal relationships using two‐sample ...

RGC1/RGC2 deletions cause increased sensitivity to oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which can be overcome by constitutive nuclear Yap1 expression [PDF]

, 2016
Oxidative stress mechanism in yeast presents an innovative pathway to understand in creating the next generation of antifungal drugs. Rgc1 and Rgc2 are paralogous proteins that regulate the Fps1 glycerol channel in hyperosmotic stress.
