COL1A1, a major component of ECM, contributes to chemoresistance and poor prognosis in ovarian cancer. Halofuginone (HF) attenuates CAF‐secreted COL1A1 through mTOR‐eIF2α‐ATF4 axis. Notably, HF disrupts collagen deposition to form the looser ECM and facilitates CD8+ T cell infiltration, partially via M2‐M1 macrophage polarization to enhance ...

Physicochemical analysis of rotavirus segment 11 supports a 'modified panhandle' structure and not the predicted alternative tRNA-like structure (TRLS) [PDF]
.Rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis, which is often fatal in infants. The viral genome consists of 11 double-stranded RNA segments, but little is known about their cis-acting sequences and structural elements.

Transcriptome atlas of Striga germination: Implications for managing an intractable parasitic plant
Witchweeds, parasitic plants of the genus Striga, are nicknamed “cereal killers” because of their devastating destruction of Africa's most staple cereals, including maize, sorghum, millets, and upland rice. The parasite relies on biomolecules emitted from the host roots to germinate and therefore initiate its infectious lifecycle.

Biophysical and biochemical characterization of yeast tRNA nucleotidyltransferase variants [PDF]
The enzyme ATP(CTP):tRNA-specific tRNA nucleotidyltransferase adds cytidine-cytidine-adenosine (CCA) to the 3’ end of eukaryotic tRNAs during their maturation. This CCA sequence plays a vital role in aminoacylation and hence in protein synthesis.

Ruminococcus gnavus (R. gnavus) can degrade mucin, modify bile acids, and secrete metabolites into circulation via the portal vein to the liver for further processing and subsequent systemic circulation. R. gnavus is associated with metabolic syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease severity. It is suspected that R.

Direct comparison of nick-joining activity of the nucleic acid ligases from bacteriophage T4 [PDF]
The genome of bacteriophage T4 encodes three polynucleotide ligases, which seal the backbone of nucleic acids during infection of host bacteria. The T4Dnl (T4 DNA ligase) and two RNA ligases [T4Rnl1 (T4 RNA ligase 1) and T4Rnl2] join a diverse array of ...
