FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Structural Insights into De Novo Promoter Escape by Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA Polymerase
Nature CommunicationsTranscription in bacteria is a multi-step process. In the first step, contacts between RNA polymerase and the promoter DNA must be established for transcription initiation to begin, but then these contacts must be broken for the enzyme to transition into

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 2016 SummaryRhinitis is a heterogeneous condition that has been associated with inflammatory responses as in allergic rhinitis but can also occur in the absence of inflammation such as in so‐called idiopathic (previously ‘vasomotor’) rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis affects approximately one in four of the population of westernized countries and is characterized

Mechanisms of IgE‐mediated food allergy and the role of allergen‐specific B cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Food allergy arises when allergen‐specific B cells preferentially produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against harmless foods. This article explains the mechanisms driving IgE‐mediated reactions, highlights the central role of these B cells, and discusses how natural tolerance (NT) and oral immunotherapy (OIT) can reshape allergic immune responses.

Novel Components of the Flagellar System in Epsilonproteobacteria
mBio, 2014 Motility is essential for the pathogenesis of many bacterial species. Most bacteria move using flagella, which are multiprotein filaments that rotate propelled by a cell wall-anchored motor using chemical energy. Although some components of the flagellar

mBio, 2021 Human gut microbes exhibit a spectrum of cooperative and antagonistic interactions with their host and also with other microbes. The major Bacteroides host-targeting virulence factor, Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT), is produced as an inactive protoxin ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Survey of the infant male urobiome and genomic analysis of Actinotignum spp.
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2023 The urinary bladder harbors a community of microbes termed the urobiome, which remains understudied. In this study, we present the urobiome of healthy infant males from samples collected by transurethral catheterization.

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).
