From structural to functional glycomics: core substitutions as molecular switches for shape and lectin affinity of N-glycans [PDF]
, 2009 Glycan epitopes of cellular glycoconjugates act as versatile biochemical signals (sugar coding). Here, we test the hypothesis that the common N-glycan modifications by core fucosylation and introduction of the bisecting N-acetylglucosamine moiety have ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In Parkinson's disease, SHMT1 downregulation disrupts its interaction with PEMT in astrocytes, reducing SAM levels. This leads to H3K4me1 hypomethylation and decreased Slc1a2/Glul expression, ultimately exacerbating neuroexcitotoxicity and dopaminergic neuron loss.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals that XPC regulates autophagy signaling beyond its noncanonical DNA repair role, uncovering the XPC‐p‐ATM‐KDM4A‐PHRF1 axis as a novel mechanism for autophagy modulation under DNA damage stress. It identifies PHRF1 as a novel p53 ubiquitin ligase.

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 ...

Targeting of the hepatitis B virus precore protein to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane: after signal peptide cleavage translocation can be aborted and the product released into the cytoplasm. [PDF]
, 1988 The major hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein is a viral structural protein involved in nucleic acid binding. Its coding sequence contains an extension of 29 codons (the "precore" region) at the amino terminus of the protein which is present in a ...

Metabolism‐Regulating Nanomedicines for Cancer Therapy
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.This review highlights metabolism‐regulating nanomedicines designed to target glycolytic, lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide pathways in tumors. By incorporating metabolism‐regulating agents into versatile nanocarriers such as liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, and engineered bacteria, these platforms achieve targeted delivery, controlled release ...

Posttranslational microtubule modification alters podocalyxin-trafficking in epithelial cells
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyEpithelial polarization is characterized by separation of the plasma membrane into an apical and a basolateral membrane domain. This morphology is verified by cytoskeletal organization that stabilizes the cellular architecture and provides specific ...

Elongation factor 2-diphthamide is critical for translation of two IRES-dependent protein targets, XIAP and FGF2, under oxidative stress conditions [PDF]
, 2013 Elongation factor-2 (eEF2) catalyzes the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA. A single histidine residue in eEF2 (H715) is modified to form diphthamide. A role for eEF2 in cellular stress responses is highlighted by the fact that eEF2 is sensitive to
