Malformin A1–mediated cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells occurs through pyroptosis and autophagy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study investigated the effects of the natural compound Malformin A1 (MA1) on the cytoskeleton that regulates cell proliferation and migration. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can impair these processes and promote cancer cell death. MA1 disrupted cytoskeletal organization, induced DNA damage, inflammation, activated autophagy, and pyroptosis ...

Ionomycin suppresses cancer cell growth by disrupting mitochondrial transcription

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify a new function for the selective Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial transcription. Both total and nascent RNA analyses revealed that ionomycin treatment reduces the transcription of mitochondrial genes.

Observational Results of Electron Density and Temperature in the Polar Ionosphere by S-310JA-1 Rocket (e. Event Session) (Proceedings of the Second Symposium on Coordinated Observations of the Ionosphere and the Magnetosphere in the Polar Regions : Part II)

Antarctic Record, 1980
The ionospheric observation by S-310JA-1 rocket indicates that the electron density changes slowly from 1×10^5/cm^3 at 100 km to 7×10^4/cm^3 at 215 km and that the electron temperature shows a minimum value of 500±100 K at 110 km, which is followed by ...

Optimizing photoexcitation conditions for time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering experiments

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering (TR‐XSS) is a powerful technique to visualize how proteins change their structure in real time after light activation. Selecting the right laser photoexcitation conditions—fluence, excitation geometry, and sample refresh rate—is critical to maximize the experimental signal while avoiding unwanted side effects ...

Potassium deficiency impairs photosynthetic induction via disrupted electron transport and photochemistry in Phaseolus vulgaris

Frontiers in Plant Science
Our previous study revealed that potassium (K) deficiency depressed carbon assimilation during photosynthetic induction in Phaseolus vulgaris. Building on this work, the current study presents a re-analysis of previously collected gas exchange and ...

Accurate and noninvasive prostate cancer detection using plasma‐derived extracellular vesicle RNA

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plasma extracellular vesicles were captured with WGA‐conjugated magnetic beads and profiled for RNA biomarkers. A three‐RNA panel (NM_024955, NR_047469, and NR_002564) distinguished prostate cancer from healthy controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia, supporting a simple, noninvasive approach to improve prostate cancer detection.

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Unraveling the electronic properties in SiO2 under ultrafast laser irradiation

npj Computational Materials
First-principles simulations were conducted to explore various electronic properties of crystalline SiO2 (α-quartz) under ultrafast laser irradiation. Employing Density Functional Perturbation Theory and the many-body (GW) approximation, we calculated ...

In silico and in vitro exploration of a tyrosinase for biocatalytic production of catechols

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Tyrosinase from Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is a promising biocatalyst for producing valuable catechols from monophenol substrates. This tyrosinase is uniquely suited to this due to its high monophenolase : diphenolase ratio. We combined in silico docking and in vivo kinetic characterisation of this tyrosinase with 11 industrially relevant monophenols,
