Metformin Impairs Breast Cancer Growth through the Inhibition of PRMT6

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metformin has a biological activity against breast cancer. However, it is largely unknown about its precise therapeutic targets. Here, histone arginine methyltransferase PRMT6 is identified as a new anti‐cancer target for metformin. Metformin directly binds PRMT6 and inhibits its ability to catalyze histone H3R2 asymmetric dimethylation (H3R2me2a ...

Temporal and spatial expression of genes involved in DNA methylation during reproductive development of sexual and apomictic Eragrostis curvula [PDF]

, 2017
Recent reports in model plant species have highlighted a role for DNA methylation pathways in the regulation of the somatic-to-reproductive transition in the ovule, suggesting that apomixis (asexual reproduction through seeds) likely relies on RdDM ...

HPD is an m6A Methyltransferase that Protects Colorectal Cancer Cells from Ferroptotic Cell Death by m6A Methylating SLC7A11/GPX4

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the tyrosine metabolic enzyme HPD functions as a previously uncharacterized, METTL3‐independent m6A methyltransferase. It promotes colorectal tumor progression by coordinately regulating the SLC7A11/GPX4 axis to suppress ferroptosis.

Predictive motifs derived from cytosine methyltransferases [PDF]

, 1989
Thirteen bacterial DNA methyltransferases that catalyze the formation of 5-methylcytosine within specific DNA sequences possess related structures. Similar building blocks (motifs), containing invariant positions, can be found in the same order in all ...

Two Novel S‐methyltransferases Confer Dimethylsulfide Production in Actinomycetota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies two novel S‐adenosine‐methionine‐dependent methyltransferases, MddM1 and MddM2, in actinomycetes from the Mariana Trench. These enzymes can convert toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methanethiol (MeSH) into dimethylsulfide (DMS), serving as a cellular detoxification and oxidative stress response.

Heat Stress Modulates WDR5‐Mediated H3K4me3 Modification to Induce Melanogenesis via Activating CX3CL1/CX3CR1 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates the mechanism by which heat stress regulates skin pigmentation: heat stress upregulates CX3CL1 through the MYC‐WDR5‐H3K4me3 axis, thereby activating the CX3CL1/CX3CR1‐JNK signaling pathway and ultimately promoting melanogenesis. These findings provide novel potential therapeutic targets for pigmentary skin disorders.

Lactylation‐Driven YTHDC1 Alleviates MASLD by Suppressing PTPN22‐Mediated Dephosphorylation of NLRP3

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In MASLD, YTHDC1 undergoes increased lactylation and ubiquitination, reducing its expression. AARS1 mediates lactylation at lysine 565, while disrupted binding to LDHA further promotes lactylation, suppressing YTHDC1. This downregulation enhances PTPN22 mRNA stability, leading to NLRP3 dephosphorylation and activation, which exacerbates inflammation ...
