New Zealand glowworm (Arachnocampa luminosa) bioluminescence is produced by a firefly-like luciferase but an entirely new luciferin

Scientific Reports, 2018
The New Zealand glowworm, Arachnocampa luminosa, is well-known for displays of blue-green bioluminescence, but details of its bioluminescent chemistry have been elusive.

The Function of Cyclo(Phe-Pro) in Gene Expression of Vibrio Harveyi [PDF]

, 2012
Vibrio harveyi is a bioluminescent bacterium and the organism in which quorum sensing was discovered. It was recently found that a class of molecules, cyclic dipeptides, may be a new kind of quorum sensing signal that may affect other species in the ...

TRMT6‐Mediated m1A Modification of CDK9 mRNA Is a Dual‐Pronged Pathogenic Driver for HBV‐Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TRMT6‐mediated m1A modification in CDK9 mRNA enhances its mRNA stability and translation efficiency, thereby increasing the protein levels of CDK9. Upregulated CDK9 promotes the progression of HCC by elevating the levels of oncogenic factors including p‐STAT3, MCL1, and BCL‐2. On the other hand, CDK9 phosphorylates TARDBP at Ser254 to activate HBV core

Phase Separation of NFIB Suppresses SLC3A2‐Mediated Ferroptosis in Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Castration‐resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) remains sensitive to ferroptosis, but its intrinsic resistance is poorly understood. Here, we identify NFIB as a master suppressor. SIRT7‐mediated NFIB acetylation drives its liquid–liquid phase separation, which promotes SLC3A2 transcription to inhibit ferroptosis.

Increasing the Thermostability of Luciferase from Antarctic Krill by Rational Design for Biotechnological Applications

Applied Sciences
The first luciferase from Antarctic krill (LAK) was cloned and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). LAK exhibits the unique ability to emit bright violet fluorescence at an emission wavelength of 350 nm, which represents the lowest ...

Atrophic Skeletal Muscle‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Transfer miR‐125a‐5p to Inhibit Bone Formation in Osteoporosis during Aging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A muscle‐bone endocrine pathway in aging is revealed in which extracellular vesicles released from atrophic skeletal muscle (Aged‐SKM‐EVs) inhibit bone formation. These EVs deliver miR‐125a‐5p to osteoblasts, thereby suppressing the SIRT7‐Sp7 signaling axis and osteogenic differentiation.

β‐Triketone‐Based Ionizable Cationic Lipids Synthesized via Click Chemistry for siRNA Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study innovatively applies β‐triketone‐based click chemistry in the synthesis of ionizable cationic lipids (ICLs), which allows the generation of a lipid library in large quantities and in a short time. The ICLs identified achieved effective lipid nanoparticles‐mediated hepatic gene silencing in vivo using siRNA, and computational simulations are ...

DOT1L Drives Endothelial‐to‐Mesenchymal Transition and Fibrotic Vascular Remodeling via H3K79 Methylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DOT1L as a central epigenetic regulator of EndoMT and pulmonary fibrosis. Acting as an early epigenetic switch, it translates TGFβ–SMAD signaling into H3K79me2‐mediated chromatin remodeling, selectively activates fibrosis‐related genes, and primes ECs for rapid mesenchymal transition.

Autoregulation of the Glial Gene Reversed Polarity in Drosophila Melanogaster [PDF]

, 2017
Autoregulation is the process where an encoded protein is able to bind to and positively or negatively regulate its own expression. Autoregulatory loops are crucial for sustained gene expression, and such loops have been demonstrated to be important for ...
