Imperial strategy of cancer cells through mitochondrial transfer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cangkrama et al. demonstrated that cancer cells donate their mitochondria to fibroblasts through mitochondrial transfer, reprogramming them into ‘MitoCAF’. Likewise, our group has identified mitochondrial transfer from cancer cells to tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, resulting in mitochondrial ‘hijack’ and impaired antitumor immunity.

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

Proteins of the penicillin biosynthesis pathway

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 1997
Two sequential steps are common to the biosynthesis of all penicillin-derived antibiotics: the reaction of three L-amino acids to give L-delta-(alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine, and the oxidation of this tripeptide to give isopenicillin N. Recent studies on the peptide synthetase and oxidase enzymes responsible for these steps have implications

Identifying prognostic targets in metastatic prostate cancer beyond AR

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide functional screens combined with a large gene expression database and clinical outcomes can identify new therapeutic vulnerabilities in prostate cancer. Eight potentially druggable targets demonstrated strong dependency in cell lines, were associated with worse prognosis clinically, and showed evidence of protein expression in prostate ...

TSPO: kaleidoscopic 18-kDa amid biochemical pharmacology, control and targeting of mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) localizes in the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) of cells and is readily up-regulated under various pathological conditions such as cancer, inflammation, mechanical lesions and neurological diseases. Able to bind

iTRAQ-Based Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of a Toxigenic Dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella at Different Stages of Toxin Biosynthesis during the Cell Cycle

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2018
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are a group of potent neurotoxic alkaloids that are produced mainly by marine dinoflagellates. PST biosynthesis in dinoflagellates is a discontinuous process that is coupled to the cell cycle.

Cis‐unsaturated sphingolipids support growth of sphingoid base‐deficient yeast but impair plasma membrane integrity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Sphingoid base structures, the sphingolipid backbones, vary among species. We established yeast cells in which the native sphingoid base was replaced with plant‐type bases containing cis or trans double bonds. This is, to our knowledge, the first eukaryotic model mostly composed of sphingolipids containing cis‐unsaturated sphingoid base, providing a ...

Microbial profile of the appendix niche in acute appendicitis: a novel sampling approach

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study utilized a novel sampling method, ERAT (i.e. endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment)‐guided lumen aspiration, to obtain samples from the appendix, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed for in situ characterization of the appendix microbiome in patients with acute appendicitis.

RORγ is a targetable master regulator of cholesterol biosynthesis in a cancer subtype. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Tumor subtype-specific metabolic reprogrammers could serve as targets of therapeutic intervention. Here we show that triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits a hyper-activated cholesterol-biosynthesis program that is strongly linked to nuclear ...
