PROTACs in targeted protein degradation: Advances in development and AI-enhanced drug discovery

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Reports
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) eliminates disease-relevant proteins by engaging endogenous proteolytic machinery, most prominently the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS).

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 ...

SMURF2 attenuates NRF2-driven tumor progression by acting as a nuclear brake on NRF2 during cellular stress

Redox Biology
Constitutive activation of the transcription factor NRF2 confers therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma (GBM), however, this hyperactivation frequently persists despite the presence of intact KEAP1, suggesting the existence of KEAP1-independent ...

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.

Gal3‐CaN‐Smurf1 Complex Sequestrates FLCN‐FNIPs to Facilitate TFEB Activation in Response to Endomembrane Damage

Advanced Science
Smurf1 mediates lysosomal biogenesis upon endomembrane damage by interacting with lysosomal injury sensor Gal3 and phosphatase CaN to form Gal3‐CaN‐Smurf1 complex, which is critical for TFEB dephosphorylation.

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.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Work-life balance as a predictor of organizational commitment: a multidimensional approach

DIJB (Diponegoro International Journal of Business), 2019
The article investigates the relationship between dimensions of work-life balance (time balance, involvement balance, and satisfaction balance) on organizational commitment.
