Acute Ethanol Intake Induces NAD(P)H Oxidase Activation and Rhoa Translocation in Resistance Arteries

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia
Background: The mechanism underlying the vascular dysfunction induced by ethanol is not totally understood. Identification of biochemical/molecular mechanisms that could explain such effects is warranted.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

The role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide salvage enzymes in cardioprotection

Polish Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
The increasing trend of cardiac diseases is becoming a major threat globally. Cardiac activities are based on integrated action potential through electronic flux changes within intra- and extracellular molecular activities.

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

Identification of autophosphorylation sites in eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase [PDF]

, 2012
eEF2K [eEF2 (eukaryotic elongation factor 2) kinase] phosphorylates and inactivates the translation elongation factor eEF2. eEF2K is not a member of the main eukaryotic protein kinase superfamily, but instead belongs to a small group of so-called ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Adenosine Mimetics as Inhibitors of NAD⁺-Dependent Histone Deacetylases, from Kinase to Sirtuin Inhibition

, 2016
NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases, sirtuins, cleave acetyl groups from lysines of histones and other proteins to regulate their activity. Identification of potent selective inhibitors would help to elucidate sirtuin biology and could lead to useful ...

NAD+-dependent DNA ligases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Streptomyces coelicolor [PDF]

, 2003
Sequencing of the genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) identified putative genes for an NAD+-dependent DNA ligase. We have cloned both open reading frames and overexpressed the protein products in Escherichia coli.

IMPDH inhibition enhances cytarabine efficacy in SAMHD1‐expressing leukaemia cells via guanine nucleotide depletion

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytarabine is a key therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), but its efficacy is limited by the dNTPase SAMHD1, which hydrolyses its active metabolite. Screening nucleotide biosynthesis inhibitors revealed that IMPDH inhibitors selectively sensitise SAMHD1‐proficient AML cells to cytarabine.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) Induces Defense Responses Against Powdery Mildew and Regulates LecRLK Gene Expression in Squash

PhytoFrontiers
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a ubiquitous electron carrier in many metabolic pathways. Exogenous application of NAD+ induces systemic acquired resistance-like defense responses in Arabidopsis thaliana, and potential NAD+-binding receptors ...
