The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Circulating miR‐144‐3p as a Novel Independent Biomarker Associated With Low Muscle Strength Among Older Adults

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Low muscle strength, a key component of sarcopenia, is significant in the development of adverse health outcomes among older adults. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in mechanisms of sarcopenia; however, their specific functions in ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Elucidating novel immune profiles for predicting infection in high‐risk cohorts: a pilot study in patients with relapsed and refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology
Objectives Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients are at increased risk for infection, with the risk even higher for relapsed and refractory patients.

The m6A Dynamics of Profilin in Neurogenesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Our understanding of the biological role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a ubiquitous non-editing RNA modification, has increased greatly since 2011. More recently, work from several labs revealed that m6A methylation regulates several aspects of mRNA ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Identifying Harmonic Sources by Profiling Discrete Harmonic Cycle Time

open access: yesEnergies
Harmonic emissions cause power quality issues in electrical systems, making source identification necessary to determine the best way of remedying them.
