BromoCatch: a self-labelling tag platform for protein modification and live cell imaging

Nature Communications
Visualizing and manipulating proteins in live cells is crucial for studying complex biological processes. Self-labelling protein (SLP) tags such as HaloTag and SNAP-tag are widely used for protein labelling, and new systems are needed to expand ...

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

PGRP-SC–mediated innate immune memory against pathogenic bacteria in Drosophila

hLife
Trained immunity is essential for innate immune cells to retain a memory of previously encountered pathogens, strengthening the hosts’ response against these pathogens. However, the mechanisms governing trained immunity have not been well elucidated.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Intrinsic signaling pathways modulate targeted protein degradation

Nature Communications
Targeted protein degradation is a groundbreaking modality in drug discovery; however, the regulatory mechanisms are still not fully understood. Here, we identify cellular signaling pathways that modulate the targeted degradation of the anticancer target ...

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Integrated machine learning identifies biomarkers for bilirubin-induced Alzheimer’s disease-like lesions in neonates and adults

Scientific Reports
Neurological impairments resulting from bilirubin encephalopathy represent a hallmark of bilirubin’s neurotoxic effects. Earlier research suggests that bilirubin may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology by inducing neuronal necrosis and ...

Chemodivergent assembly of ortho-functionalized phenols with tunable selectivity via rhodium(III)-catalyzed and solvent-controlled C-H activation

Communications Chemistry, 2021
Ortho functionalisation of phenols can be achieved using N-phenoxy amide directing groups. Here a method for chemodivergent C-H alkenylation, alkylation, carboetherification, or [3 + 2] annulation is presented, with product selectivity determined by the ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
