HIV restriction factor APOBEC3G binds in multiple steps and conformations to search and deaminate single-stranded DNA

eLife, 2019
APOBEC3G (A3G), an enzyme expressed in primates with the potential to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infectivity, is a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) deoxycytidine deaminase with two domains, a catalytically active, weakly ssDNA binding ...

Integrative Approaches to Treating Cellular Senescence in Kidney Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cellular senescence in the kidney plays a crucial role in the progression of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Therapeutic approaches targeting senescent cells, such as small molecule senolytic and senomorphic drugs, display efficacy in preclinical models.

Humanized and Charge‐Optimized CSPG4‐Specific CAR‐T Cells show Enhanced Efficacy against Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CSPG4 is identified as a high‐value, stemness‐associated target in HPV‐negative HNSCC. By implementing rational biophysical engineering, a humanized and charge‐optimized CAR is developed to overcome tonic signaling‐induced exhaustion. This strategy induces a profound transcriptomic shift toward a rejuvenated, stem‐like memory state, significantly ...

Recombinant Zea mays profilin forms multimers with pan-allergenic potential

Allergology International, 2000
European studies have shown that approximately 20% of all pollen-allergic patients display IgE reactivity to various plant profilins. Profilins are ubiquitous intracellular proteins, with a role in cell signalling and morphology.

Direct Selection of Functional De Novo Macrocycles for Activation of On‐Cellulo Insulin Receptor

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A live‐cell screening platform, RaPID‐ExCells, integrates mRNA display‐derived macrocyclic peptide libraries with functional selection against native cell‐surface receptors. Application to the insulin receptor enabled de novo discovery of a macrocyclic agonist that activates endogenous signaling despite weak in vitro binding, highlighting the power of ...

The Roles of Intracellular Chaperone Proteins, Sigma Receptors, in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Sigma receptors, including Sigma-1 receptors and Sigma-2 receptors, are highly expressed in the CNS. They are intracellular chaperone proteins. Sigma-1 receptors localize mainly at the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane (MAM ...

Dual‐Targeting Cuproptosis and Mitophagy via a Flavopiridol‐Copper Nanoplatform Potentiates Immunotherapy Against Uveal Melanoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a GSH‐responsive nanoplatform, NP@Fla‐Cu, to co‐activate cuproptosis and excessive mitophagy in uveal melanoma. The nanoplatform enhances tumor‐specific copper delivery, depletes antioxidant defenses, and remodels the tumor immune microenvironment.

Modular Assembly of Dynamic Polymer Networks From Heteroaffinity Cross‐Links to Multivalent Proteins

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This study develops a method to modularly assemble oligomeric binding proteins, like streptavidin, using heterobifunctional cross‐linkers that have both a strong‐ and a weak‐affinity binding moiety. These dynamic cross‐linkers enable the assembly of polymer networks with unique meta‐stable nonequilibrium topologies, and that exhibit chemically tunable ...
