Alkyltriphenylphosphonium Binding to Cardiolipin Triggers Oncosis in Cancer Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Alkyltriphenylphosphonium, exemplified by TPP+‐C14, preferentially accumulates in mitochondria and selectively binds to cardiolipin, a key phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane, causing loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, severe cellular ATP depletion, and calcium imbalance.

Nuclear pore protein NUP210 depletion suppresses metastasis through heterochromatin-mediated disruption of tumor cell mechanical response

Nature Communications, 2021
The involvement of nuclear pore proteins in cellular mechanosensing and metastasis is unclear. Here the authors identify that nuclear pore protein NUP210 promotes metastasis through the interaction with mechanotransducer LINC complex protein and ...

Identification and Characterization of an In Silico Designed Membrane‐Active Peptide with Antiviral Properties

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.

Nuclear pore complex proteins are involved in centromere distribution

iScience
Summary: The subnuclear distribution of centromeres is cooperatively regulated by condensin II and the linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex.

Role of noncoding RNA in vascular remodelling [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose of review: Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are becoming fundamentally important in the pathophysiology relating to injury-induced vascular remodelling.

Material‐Induced Nuclear Deformation Controls Chromatin Architecture in Adipose Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tuning cell and cytoskeleton mechanics modulated nuclear shape and heterochromatin organization in ASCs. Distinct cytoskeletal architectures induced nuclear morphologies from oblate to prolate ellipsoids. Large elongated cells with a structured actin cap exhibited high nuclear strain, driving nuclear envelope deformation and heterochromatin ...

Long Non-Coding RNAs: New Players in Hematopoiesis and Leukemia [PDF]

, 2015
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression that influence almost every step in the life cycle of genes, from transcription to mRNA splicing, RNA decay, and translation.

Lipid‐Facilitated Opening of the ADAM10 Sheddase Revealed by Enhanced Sampling Simulations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phosphatidylserine acts as a lipid trigger to enhance activation of the sheddase ADAM10. By integrating fluorescence spectroscopy assays with enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations, this study shows that phosphatidylserine promotes ADAM10 catalytic activity along with expansion of its extracellular domains, enhancing accessibility to scaffold

The mammalian LINC complex regulates genome transcriptional responses to substrate rigidity [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractMechanical integration of the nucleus with the extracellular matrix (ECM) is established by linkage between the cytoskeleton and the nucleus. This integration is hypothesized to mediate sensing of ECM rigidity, but parsing the function of nucleus-cytoskeleton linkage from other mechanisms has remained a central challenge. Here we took advantage

Yb2‐Tb Upconversion in a Hetero‐Trimetallic Molecular Lanthanide Complex

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Lanthanides are at the forefront of photon upconversion in molecular systems; however, the chemical nature of the lanthanides makes site‐specific coordination chemistry difficult to achieve. Here, we employ kinetically stabile building blocks to achieve hetero‐trimetallic 4f complexes with complete site‐specific chemical control.
