Leveraging the ADAM10 prodomain for selective inhibition to enhance recovery after myocardial infarction

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of numerous acute and chronic diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure. Targeting ADAM proteases, particularly ADAM10, holds promise for fine‐tuning inflammatory responses.

Unwelcome neighbours: Tracking the transmission of Streptococcus equi in the United Kingdom horse population

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Strangles (Streptococcus equi infection) remains endemic in the UK, with ~300 laboratory diagnoses annually. Sub‐clinically infected long‐term carriers are considered a key driver of endemicity. Analysing genomes of circulating strains could provide valuable transmission insights of this pathogen.

Human FASTK preferentially binds single‐stranded and G‐rich RNA

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA‐binding properties in vitro. We found that FASTK prefers ssRNA oligonucleotides containing guanines with the potential to form G‐quadruplexes and binds robustly to any ...

Lung organoids as a human system for Mycobacteria infection modeling and drug testing

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial infections, including tuberculosis (TB) and infections by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), are still public health issues. In 2023, TB caused 1.25 million deaths, while NTM remain a clinical challenge for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Characterisation of a cold‐adapted, thermostable glucokinase from psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 reveals how the enzyme achieves high thermal stability without loss of cold adaptation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated glucokinase from the psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 (PsGK), which was isolated from the Antarctic Ocean. Biochemical studies revealed that PsGK is a cold‐adapted enzyme with high thermal stability, in contrast to general cold‐adapted enzymes, which have low thermal stability.
