Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Enantioselective maternal transfer of chiral pesticide metabolite o,p’-DDD in zebrafish (Danio rerio): Implications for intergenerational thyroid disruption

Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology
Recent studies show that pesticides can induce intergenerational toxicity, posing threats to wildlife populations. However, the intergenerational effects of chiral pesticide metabolites remain understudied despite their known enantioselective ...

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Perinatal exposure to 4-hydroxy-4′-isopropoxydiphenylsulfone alters the adipogenesis in adult mice: A sex-specific study

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
4-hydroxy-4′-isopropoxydiphenylsulfone (BPSIP), a common alternative to bisphenol A (BPA), has been detected in breast milk and across placental barriers. However, the long-term impacts of perinatal exposure to BPSIP on adipogenesis and susceptibility to

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in paddy soils: Distribution, source apportionment, and risk assessment in major rice-growing regions of China

Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in agricultural environments and their potential health impacts have raised significant concern, particularly due to their substantial emissions from biomass and coal combustion. However, the environmental fate and

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...
