Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

A large‐scale retrospective study in metastatic breast cancer patients using circulating tumour DNA and machine learning to predict treatment outcome and progression‐free survival

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
There is an unmet need in metastatic breast cancer patients to monitor therapy response in real time. In this study, we show how a noninvasive and affordable strategy based on sequencing of plasma samples with longitudinal tracking of tumour fraction paired with a statistical model provides valuable information on treatment response in advance of the ...

Utilizing rat kidney gene co-expression networks to enhance safety assessment biomarker identification and human translation

iScience
Summary: Toxicogenomic data provide key insights into molecular mechanisms underlying drug-induced organ toxicities. To simplify transcriptomic data interpretation, we applied weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to rat kidney ...

Modeling Congenital Disorders of N-Linked Glycoprotein Glycosylation in Drosophila melanogaster

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Protein glycosylation, the enzymatic addition of N-linked or O-linked glycans to proteins, serves crucial functions in animal cells and requires the action of glycosyltransferases, glycosidases and nucleotide-sugar transporters, localized in the ...

The critical role of DNA damage‐inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4) in stemness character of leukemia cells and leukemia initiation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Stemness properties, including quiescence, self‐renewal, and chemoresistance, are closely associated with leukemia relapse. Here, we demonstrate that DNA damage‐inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4) is induced in the hypoxic bone marrow niche and is essential for maintaining the stemness of AML1‐ETO9a leukemia cells.

Only the strong survive: therapeutic selective pressure drives medulloblastoma leptomeningeal metastasis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiation therapy induces cancer cell death and immune cell infiltration, mainly monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Elevated serum cytokine levels and disruption of the blood–brain barrier promote leptomeningeal dissemination. Cotreatment with dexamethasone reduces cytokine levels, preserves barrier integrity, and limits metastatic spread ...

The extract of Cavendish banana (Musa acuminata) peel as antioxidant and anti-aging agents in model yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Menara Perkebunan
Banana peel is one of the wastes that can be explored for various applications. Cavendish is among the most highly consumed bananas in the world, which implies a high amount of banana peel waste.

Actin dynamics controlled by IqgC, a RasGAP at the crossroads between the IQGAP and fungal GAP1 families

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IqgC is a RasGAP from Dictyostelium discoideum. IqgC binds RasG via its RasGAP domain and deactivates it on macroendocytic cups, thereby suppressing the uptake of fluid and particles. IqgC has a positive effect on cell‐substratum adhesion, and its RGCt domain is required for recruitment to ventral foci.

Identification of the alternative oxidase gene and its expression in the copepod Tigriopus californicus [PDF]

, 2019
In addition to the typical electron transport system (ETS) in animal mitochondria responsible for oxidative phosphorylation, in some species there exists an alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway capable of catalyzing the oxidation of ubiquinol and the ...

Two‐way inhibition of PAX5 transcriptional activity by PAX5::CBFA2T3

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
PAX5::CBFA2T3 (PAX5‐C) is a fusion protein of the B‐cell transcription factor, PAX5, and is found in B‐cell ALL. We propose a putative model of two‐way inhibition of PAX5 transcriptional activity by PAX5‐C. There are two ways of repression by PAX5‐C: DNA‐binding‐dependent way and HDAC‐dependent way, with either being sufficient for the repression. HDAC
