Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

JAK Inhibition Differentially Affects NK Cell and ILC1 Homeostasis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are widely used in the treatment of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Immunologic and transcriptomic profiling have revealed major alterations on natural killer (NK) cell homeostasis associated with JAK ...

JAK Inhibitor and Crohn’s Disease

Biomedicines
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory granulomatous disease of the gastrointestinal tract. The global incidence and prevalence of Crohn’s disease have significantly increased, largely due to genetic susceptibility, environmental changes, and advancements in diagnostic technology.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

The Association Between Deep Vein Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolism, and Janus Kinase Inhibitors: Reporting Status and Signal Detection in the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report Database

Drugs - Real World Outcomes
Background Although Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have expanding indications, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are serious adverse events associated with their use. Moreover, their analysis using the Japanese database of spontaneous

Selective JAK-Inhibitors in Spondyloarthritis

Mediterranean Journal of Rheumatology
As our research interest and knowledge increases in the field of Spondyloarthritis, new aspects also emerge as regards to their therapeutic approach. JAK inhibitors (JAKi) are a relatively new treatment option, aiming molecules in the JAK-STAT pathway, which has a leading role in the pathophysiology of both Psoriatic Arthritis and Axial ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
