Beyond Histones: Unveiling the Functional Roles of Protein Acetylation in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
ABSTRACT Lysine acetylation plays a crucial role in cellular processes and is found across various evolutionary organisms. Recent advancements in proteomic techniques revealed the presence of acetylation in thousands of non‐histone proteins. Here, we conducted extensive meta‐analysis of 48 acetylomes spanning diverse organisms, including archaea ...

PLK4: Master Regulator of Centriole Duplication and Its Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Centrosomes catalyze the assembly of a microtubule‐based bipolar spindle, essential for the precise chromosome segregation during cell division. At the center of this process lies Polo‐Like Kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator that controls the duplication of the centriolar core to ensure the correct balance of two centrosomes per dividing ...

Ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP‐7) is a novel target for anticancer therapy. To further extend the structure–activity relationships of the previously USP‐7 inhibitor STIRUR‐41, a library of 5‐aminopyrazoles is reported. 1d shows a potency comparable to lead compound STIRUR‐41 and promising in silico and in vitro pharmacokinetic properties ...

Identification of a New Interesting BAG3 Modulator Able to Disrupt Cancer‐Related Pathways
Continuing our research aimed at discovering new BAG3 modulators as attractive anticancer drug candidates, we performed a screening campaign on an in‐house library, including compounds featuring a large variety of scaffolds. The obtained results induced us to focus on the triazole moiety and, following a stepwise structural refinement of the scaffold ...
