Indole Diketopiperazine Alkaloids from the Marine Sediment-Derived Fungus Aspergillus chevalieri against Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Marine Drugs, 2023
A new prenylated indole diketopiperazine alkaloid, rubrumline P (1), was isolated along with six more analogues and characterized from the fermentation culture of a marine sediment-derived fungus, Aspergillus chevalieri, collected at a depth of 15 m near

Biological evaluations of novel 2,3,3-Trisphosphonate in osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities [PDF]

, 2017
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the first line treatment for many bone diseases including hypercalcimia associated with bone malignancies. In this paper, we introduce a new analogue of bisphosphonate called the 2,3,3-Trisphosphonate (2,3,3-TriPP) that was ...

Scalable Engineering of Bio‐Manufactured Extracellular Vesicles for Selective Delivery in Ovarian Cancer Patient‐Derived Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered extracellular vesicles displaying Ephrin‐B2 selectively target Ephrin‐B4–expressing ovarian cancer cells, enabling precise delivery in patient‐derived models. This scalable bio‐manufacturing platform reveals a versatile strategy to exploit Ephrin signaling for highly specific therapeutic payload delivery and motivates exploration of tailored

Resurrection of 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1) from the ancestor of modern horseshoe bats blocks SARS-CoV-2 replication.

PLoS Biology, 2023
The prenylated form of the human 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1) protein has been shown to potently inhibit the replication of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 ...

Asymmetric Reduction of Unactivated Alkenes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Unactivated alkenes rank among the most inert functional groups in synthesis and their selective reduction remains challenging. This Review charts the evolution from classical metal‐catalyzed hydrogenation to radical hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and emerging biocatalytic concepts, highlighting how complementary mechanistic strategies, including the ...

C-terminus Proteolysis and Palmitoylation Cooperate for Optimal Plasma Membrane Localization of RasA in Aspergillus fumigatus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
RasA is a major regulator of fungal morphogenesis and virulence in Aspergillus fumigatus. The proper localization of RasA to the plasma membrane is essential for the formation of invasive hyphae during infection.

Type 1 polyisoprenoid diphosphate phosphatase modulates geranylgeranyl-mediated control of HMG CoA reductase and UBIAD1

eLife, 2021
UbiA prenyltransferase domain-containing protein-1 (UBIAD1) utilizes geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGpp) to synthesize the vitamin K2 subtype menaquinone-4. The prenyltransferase has emerged as a key regulator of sterol-accelerated, endoplasmic reticulum

PTP4A1 promotes TGFβ signaling and fibrosis in systemic sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2017
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of skin and internal organs. Protein tyrosine phosphatases have received little attention in the study of SSc or fibrosis.
