Cell cycle regulation and novel structural features of thymidine kinase, an essential enzyme in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Thymidine kinase (TK) is a key enzyme in the pyrimidine salvage pathway which catalyzes the transfer of the γ-phosphate of ATP to 2′-deoxythymidine (dThd) forming thymidine monophosphate (dTMP).

Nucleoside analog studies indicate mechanistic differences between RNA-editing adenosine deaminases [PDF]
Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR1 and ADAR2) are human RNA-editing adenosine deaminases responsible for the conversion of adenosine to inosine at specific locations in cellular RNAs. Since inosine is recognized during translation as guanosine, this often results in the expression of protein sequences different from those encoded in the genome ...

The role of dinucleoside polyphosphates on the ocular surface and other eye structures [PDF]
Dinucleoside polyphosphates comprises a group of dinucleotides formed by two nucleosides linked by a variable number of phosphates, abbreviated NpnN (where n represents the number of phosphates). These compounds are naturally occurring substances present

136 HIV-1 Nef regulates activity of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone calnexin [PDF]
HIV-1 Nef promotes viral replication by downmodulating a number of cell surface transmembrane proteins, such as CD4, MHC-I and MHC-II, which are targeted by Nef to various degradation pathways.

Lymphospecific toxicity in adenosine deaminase deficiency and purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency: Possible role of nucleoside kinase(s) [PDF]
Inherited deficiencies of the enzymes adenosine deaminase (adenosine aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.4.4) and purine nucleoside phosphorylase (purine-nucleoside:orthophosphate ribosyltransferase; EC 2.4.2.1) preferentially interfere with lymphocyte development while sparing most other organ systems.

In all organisms, transfer RNAs (tRNAs) undergo extensive post-transcriptional modifications. Although base modifications in the anticodon are known to alter decoding specificity or improve decoding accuracy, much less is known about the functional ...

Structure‐Guided Engineering of a Cas12i Nuclease Unlocks Near‐PAMless Genome Editing
CRISPR‐Cas nucleases are limited by PAM requirements, restricting genome accessibility. Structure‐guided engineering of the compact Cas12i nuclease SF01 produced three variants with near‐PAMless, enabling efficient editing at diverse 5'‐NNTN‐3' sites. These nucleases expand the editable portion of the human genome more than fourfold, enabling efficient

In Vitro and Clinical Evaluation of Potential Interactions of Bemnifosbuvir with Drug Transporters
Abstract Bemnifosbuvir is a novel oral guanosine nucleotide prodrug candidate for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Potential drug–drug interactions (DDIs) of bemnifosbuvir as a substrate or perpetrator with regard to ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporters were evaluated in vitro and in clinical studies ...

Emerging Therapeutic Strategies in Anti‐Aging Medicine: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Aging is orchestrated by interconnected hallmarks such as genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and disrupted intercellular communication, which collectively drive chronic disease progression. Recent advances have expanded therapeutic opportunities to include pharmacological agents, gene and epigenome editing ...
