Protein Structuromics Reveals a Loop‐Controlled Half‐Open Active Pocket Conformation Throughout Fe(II)/α‐ketoglutarate‐Dependent Dioxygenase Catalytic Cycle

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a conserved half‐open active pocket in Fe(II)/α‐ketoglutarate‐dependent dioxygenases through protein structuromics, distinguished by structural features comprising highly flexible loop elements. Enhanced sampling simulations‐guided mutagenesis experiments elucidated how this flexible loop regulates pocket open/closed conformations ...

Discriminator‐Guided Inverse Folding for Multi‐Property Protein Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Discriminator‐Guided Inverse Folding (DGIF) integrates multiple property predictors trained from single‐property datasets to guide protein sequence generation from a backbone structure. DGIF enables simultaneous improvement of thermostability and solubility without requiring multi‐property annotated datasets and generates designs that move toward the ...

Computation‐Guided Tunnel Engineering Enhances O2 Transport and H2O2 Resistance of Fe(II)/α‐Ketoglutarate‐Dependent Dioxygenases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a computational tunnel engineering strategy in Fe(II)/α‐ketoglutarate‐dependent dioxygenases (αKGDs) to enhance oxygen (O2) transport, an essential molecule for αKGDs, and limit hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) entry, an inhibitor from the αKG supply system.

Sad1 Spatiotemporally Regulates Kinetochore Clustering To Ensure High-Fidelity Chromosome Segregation in the Human Fungal Pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans

mSphere, 2018
Kinetochore clustering, frequently observed in yeasts, plays a key role in genome organization and chromosome segregation. In the absence of the metaphase plate arrangement, kinetochore clustering in yeast species is believed to facilitate timely ...

Pathological Copper Overload Reprograms SOD1 Activation via COMMD1 to Promote Senescence and Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a previously unrecognized copper‐COMMD1‐SOD1 regulatory axis, revealing that pathological copper overload paradoxically suppresses SOD1 activity by promoting COMMD1‐dependent disruption of SOD1 homodimerization. These findings redefine the regulatory role of copper in SOD1 biology and provide novel mechanistic insight into the ...

QRICH1 Disrupts Endoplasmic Reticulum Homeostasis and Amplifies NF‐κB Signaling in Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells to Exacerbate Diabetic Periodontitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
QRICH1 has been established as a key factor contributing to impaired osteogenic potential and accelerated apoptosis of PDLSCs in diabetic periodontitis. QRICH1 not only significantly enhances UPR‐associated apoptotic signaling but also amplifies NF‐κB‐mediated inflammatory responses. Its inhibition restores osteogenic capacity and reduces alveolar bone

Molecular Mechanisms of Mechanotransduction through LINC Complexes [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2016
The coupling of the cytoskeleton and nucleoskeleton is ultimately mediated by LINC complexes that are formed by a strong interaction between SUN domain and KASH domain proteins in the nuclear envelope. Their pivotal roles in cellular mechanotransduction and nuclear positioning have only been identified after their discovery in the past decade.

Senkyunolide I Inhibits mtDNA‐cGAS‐STING Signaling in Macrophages via Targeting VDAC1 Oligomerization to Attenuate Ulcerative Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In macrophages, senkyunolide I (SEI) directly targets the K12 residue of VDAC1 to inhibit its stress‐induced oligomerization, a critical upstream event that effectively prevents mitochondrial DNA release and subsequent cGAS‐STING pathway activation.

Age-related decline in nuclear envelope LINC complex drives neuronal aging via axon initial segment dysfunction

EMBO Reports
Brain aging is an intricate process that inevitably leads to functional deterioration. However, its molecular drivers remain unclear. Here, we show that the age-related decline in LINC complex expression on the neuronal nuclear envelope impairs axon ...
