Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Effect of grain boundary resistance on the ionic conductivity of amorphous xLi2S-(100-x)LiI binary system

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023
Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) hold the key position in the progress of cutting-edge all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). The ionic conductivity of solid-state electrolytes is linked to the presence of both amorphous and crystalline phases.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Experimental Study on Electrical Conductivity of FexO-CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 System at Various Oxygen Potentials

High Temperature Materials and Processes, 2018
The electrical conductivity of FexO-CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 slags was measured by a four terminal method. The results show that the temperature dependences of total, electronic and ionic conductivity for different compositions obey the Arrhenius law and all of ...

β‐TrCP overexpression enhances cisplatin sensitivity by depleting BRCA1

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Low levels of β‐TrCP (Panel A) allow the accumulation of BRCA1 and CtIP, which facilitate the repair of cisplatin‐induced DNA damage via homologous recombination (HR) and promote tumor cell survival. In contrast, high β‐TrCP expression (Panel B) leads to BRCA1 and CtIP degradation, impairing HR repair, resulting in persistent DNA damage and apoptosis ...

Preparation of Comb-Shaped Polyether with PDMS and PEG Side Chains and Its Application in Polymer Electrolytes

Molecules
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) is the most well-studied polymer used in solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for lithium ion batteries (Li-ion batteries). However, ionic conductivity is greatly reduced in the low temperature range due to the crystallization of ...

A synthetic benzoxazine dimer derivative targets c‐Myc to inhibit colorectal cancer progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Benzoxazine dimer derivatives bind to the bHLH‐LZ region of c‐Myc, disrupting c‐Myc/MAX complexes, which are evaluated from SAR analysis. This increases ubiquitination and reduces cellular c‐Myc. Impairing DNA repair mechanisms is shown through proteomic analysis.

Towards the insulator-to-metal transition at the surface of ion-gated nanocrystalline diamond films

, 2019
Hole doping can control the conductivity of diamond either through boron substitution, or carrier accumulation in a field-effect transistor. In this work, we combine the two methods to investigate the insulator-to-metal transition at the surface of ...

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...
