Regulation of mammalian nucleotide metabolism and biosynthesis

Nucleic Acids Research, 2015
Nucleotides are required for a wide variety of biological processes and are constantly synthesized denovo in all cells. When cells proliferate, increased nucleotide synthesis is necessary for DNA replication and for RNA production to support protein ...

Co‐overexpression of the caloric restriction‐induced mitochondrial factors PGC‐1α and MIPEP upregulates Phospho1 expression in adipocytes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caloric restriction that extends lifespan induces the expression of PGC‐1α and MIPEP in white adipose tissue. In this study, co‐overexpression of Pgc‐1α and Mipep upregulated the gene expression of PHOSPHO1. These findings provide new insights into mitochondria‐related mechanisms underlying the effects of caloric restriction in adipocytes.

Ubiquitin Linkage Specificity of Deubiquitinases Determines Cyclophilin Nuclear Localization and Degradation

iScience, 2020
Summary: Ubiquitin chain specificity has been described for some deubiquitinases (DUBs) but lacks a comprehensive profiling in vivo. We used quantitative proteomics to compare the seven lysine-linked ubiquitin chains between wild-type yeast and its 20 ...

The ERF transcription factor MdERF38 promotes drought stress-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in apple.

The Plant Journal, 2019
Drought stress induces anthocyanin biosynthesis in many plant species. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Ethylene response factors (ERFs) play key roles in plant growth and various stress responses including affecting ...

Inhibition of Glutamine Metabolism Attenuates Tumor Progression Through Remodeling of the Macrophage Immune Microenvironment

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The prodrug strategy used in this study offers new promise for cancer metabolism‐based therapies. JHU083, a prodrug that, when cleaved by protease in the tumor microenvironment, yields the glutamine antagonist DON. JHU083 inhibits tumor growth by targeting glutamine‐addicted cancer cells and suppressing glutamine‐dependent M2 macrophages, leading to a ...

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

Translocator protein/peripheral benzodiazepine receptor is not required for steroid hormone biosynthesis.

Endocrinology, 2014
Molecular events that regulate cellular biosynthesis of steroid hormones have been a topic of intense research for more than half a century. It has been established that transport of cholesterol into the mitochondria forms the rate-limiting step in ...

Antibody‐Programmable Bimetallic Nanozymes for Transcriptional Blockade Therapy in HER2/ER‐Positive Breast Cancer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Zr‐Fe MOF@Ribociclib@Herceptin (ZFRH) efficiently targets/kills Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2/Estrogen Receptor‐positive (HER2/ER+) breast cancer cells. It combats tumors by: 1) Elevating ROS, altering redox balance; 2) Inhibiting transcription; 3) Inducing pyroptosis.
