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 ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

A Peroxisomal Lon Protease and Peroxisome Degradation by Autophagy Play Key Roles in Vitality of Hansenula polymorpha Cells [PDF]

, 2007
In eukaryote cells various mechanisms exist that are responsible for the removal of non-functional proteins. Here we show that in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (H.

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 ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Targeted Protein Degradation via a Covalent Reversible Degrader Based on Bardoxolone

, 2020
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) has emerged as a powerful tool in drug discovery for the perturbation of protein levels using heterobifunctional small molecules (i.e. PROTACs).

Inhibition of proteasomal deubiquitinases USP14 and UCHL5 overcomes tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance in chronic myeloid leukaemia

Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2022
Background Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a haematological cancer featured by the presence of BCR‐ABL fusion protein with abnormal tyrosine kinase activation.

The ubiquitin ligase RNF115 is required for the clearance of damaged lysosomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Upon lysosomal rupture, an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF115 translocates from the cytosol to the damaged lysosomal membrane. Moreover, RNF115 depletion impairs the clearance of damaged lysosomes, identifying it as a key regulator of lysosomal quality control.
