The fight of innate immunity and abnormal cannabinoids against Candida infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Candida species represent the most clinically significant fungal pathogens in humans, with invasive candidiasis carrying a mortality of 30%–40% in critically ill patients despite modern antifungal therapy. The innate immune system – through the coordinated and specific activities of neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells, mast cells and eosinophils ...

Adding Intratumoral Antibody‐Photoabsorber Conjugate Improves Efficacy of Near‐Infrared Photoimmunotherapy (NIR‐PIT)

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Intravenous (IV) or intratumoral (IT) cetuximab distribution in A431 tumor (essence of Figure 2). ABSTRACT Near‐infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR‐PIT) is a new type of cancer treatment that specifically kills target cells while sparing normal tissue. This treatment induces cancer cell death by activating a photoreactive dye with near‐infrared light in ...

Cryo‐EM structure of GH43 β‐Xylosidase from Enterobacter cloacae provides insights into substrate specificity and the role of an auxiliary domain in enzymatic activity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Xylan, the second most abundant plant cell wall polysaccharide, is degraded by β‐xylanases and β‐xylosidases. Here, we present the 2.65 Å cryo‐EM structure of Enterobacter cloacae β‐xylosidase (EcXyl43, GH43) and the 2.4 Å X‐ray structure of its inactive F507A mutant.

Conserved dimerization architecture in C‐type lectins from virus‐vector mosquitoes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C‐type lectins (CTLs) are involved in the detection of viral/microbial carbohydrates. We studied a family of soluble CTLs in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which acts as a vector for viruses like dengue and Zika. Using crystallography, biophysics, and structure prediction approaches, we found that these proteins consistently pair together in the same ...

Functional and transcriptomic analyses in Neurospora crassa reveal a crucial role for the N‐glycoprotein deglycosylation process in fungal homeostasis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In Neurospora crassa, a cytosolic GH18 endo‐β‐n‐acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) functions as an active deglycosylating enzyme. Deletion of this severely alters tolerance to multiple stress conditions and causes extensive transcriptomic reprogramming, including upregulation of a GH20 exo‐β‐n‐acetylhexosaminidase under ER stress, indicating that N. crassa
