Stimuli‐Responsive Supramolecular Biomaterials for Cancer Theranostics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ultimate goal of cancer theranostics is to get imaging agents and therapeutic cargo to tumor sites when and where they are required. “Smart” systems should be developed. This review discusses the characteristics of physiological stimuli, types and action modes of external stimuli, construction approaches and working principles, as well as ...

Glycoside-metabolizing oxidoreductase D3dgpA from human gut bacterium

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The Gfo/Idh/MocA family enzyme DgpA was known to catalyze the regiospecific oxidation of puerarin to 3”-oxo-puerarin in the presence of 3-oxo-glucose. Here, we discovered that D3dgpA, dgpA cloned from the human gut bacterium Dorea sp. MRG-IFC3, catalyzed

A long-term "memory" of HIF induction in response to chronic mild decreased oxygen after oxygen normalization [PDF]

, 2007
Background Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is functionally characterized by decreased vasorelaxation, increased thrombosis, increased inflammation, and altered angiogenic potential, has been intimately associated with the progression and severity of ...

A Modular Biosensor Platform for the Detection of Plastic Monomers and the Engineering of Promiscuous Amidases Toward Challenging Substrates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A luciferase is used as biosensor for aldehydes, produced enzymatically from different monomeric building blocks of plastics like polyurethanes (PUs). The screening platform is used to monitor esterase, amidase, and urethanase activity and to guide the selection of enzyme variants with improved hydrolytic activities toward difficult to hydrolyze ...

Mechanisms of Aristolochic Acid Resistance in Specialist Butterflies and Evolutionary Insights for Potential Protective Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

The crystal structure of human ferroptosis suppressive protein 1 in complex with flavin adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide adenine nucleotide

MedComm
Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of regulated cell death characterized by its distinct dependence on iron and the peroxidation of lipids within cellular membranes. Ferroptosis plays a crucial role in physiological and pathological situations and

Fe‐S Protein FDX1 Triggers Tumor‐Intrinsic Innate Immunity via Mitochondrial Nucleic Acids Release to Orchestrate Ferroptosis in CCRCC

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Restoration of the mitochondrial Fe–S protein FDX1 suppresses clear cell renal cell carcinoma by coupling ferroptosis with tumor‐intrinsic innate immune activation. FDX1 induces mitochondrial dysfunction and mtDNA/mt‐dsRNA release, activating cGAS–STING and RIG‐I/MDA5–MAVS signaling to elicit type I interferon responses, thereby promoting antigen ...

The fox Operon from Rhodobacter Strain SW2 Promotes Phototrophic Fe(II) Oxidation in Rhodobacter capsulatus SB1003 [PDF]

, 2007
Anoxygenic photosynthesis based on Fe(II) is thought to be one of the most ancient forms of metabolism and is hypothesized to represent a transition step in the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis.

Comparative genomic analyses reveal a lack of a substantial signature of host adaptation in Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) [PDF]

, 2013
Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) is a pathogenic actinomycete primarily infecting horses but has emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen. We have sequenced the genome of the type strain of this species, R.
