Early steps in mitochondrial protein import [PDF]
, 1990 The process of insertion of precursor proteins into mitochondrial membranes was investigated using a hybrid protein (pSc1-c) that contains dual targeting information and, at the same time, membrane insertion activity.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma urgently requires new therapeutic strategies. Adenosine diphosphate‐ribosylation factor‐like protein 5B (ARL5B) is identified as a novel oncogene that remodels fatty acid metabolism through the ras homologous‐associated coiled‐coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK1)–sterol regulatory element‐binding protein 1 (SREBP1)

Metabolism‐Regulating Nanomedicines for Cancer Therapy
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.This review highlights metabolism‐regulating nanomedicines designed to target glycolytic, lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide pathways in tumors. By incorporating metabolism‐regulating agents into versatile nanocarriers such as liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, and engineered bacteria, these platforms achieve targeted delivery, controlled release ...

Role of cytochrome c heme lyase in the import of cytochrome c into mitochondria [PDF]
, 1988 The import of cytochrome c into Neurospora crassa mitochondria was examined at distinct stages in vitro. The precursor protein, apocytochrome c, binds to mitochondria with high affinity and specificity but is not transported completely across the outer ...

Combination treatment with recombinant methioninase enables temozolomide to arrest a BRAF V600E melanoma in a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) mouse model. [PDF]
, 2017 An excessive requirement for methionine termed methionine dependence, appears to be a general metabolic defect in cancer. We have previously shown that cancer-cell growth can be selectively arrested by methionine deprivation such as with recombinant ...

Unravelling the Functional Diversity of Type III Polyketide Synthases in Fungi
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Type III polyketide synthases (T3PKSs) produce diverse compounds of ecological and clinical importance. Here, the activity of 37 fungal T3PKSs was profiled, revealing unexpected products and generating several pharmaceutical precursors. The machine learning model trained on the activity data accurately extrapolates the predictions to other enzymes and ...
