Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron
Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage

ALDH Inhibition‐Primed Photocatalysis Disrupts Cancer Stemness Plasticity
DE‐Et converts ALDH‐mediated redox buffering into a photoredox vulnerability by coupling ALDH inhibition with red‐light‐driven catalytic NADH oxidation. This enzyme‐coupled photoredox strategy sustains mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ imbalance, induces pyroptotic tumor cell death, suppresses tumor growth in vivo, and promotes systemic antitumor immunity ...
