MORC3, a component of PML nuclear bodies, has a role in restricting herpes simplex virus type 1 and human cytomegalovirus [PDF]

, 2016
We previously reported that MORC3, a protein associated with promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs), is a target of HSV-1 ICP0 mediated degradation.

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.

Follicle-stimulating hormone promotes EndMT in endothelial cells by upregulating ALKBH5 expression

Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters
Background The incidence of atherosclerosis markedly rises following menopause. Our previous findings demonstrated that elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in postmenopausal women accelerate atherosclerosis progression. Plaque instability,

Notch signaling sustains the expression of Mcl-1 and the activity of eIF4E to promote cell survival in CLL [PDF]

, 2015
In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Notch1 and Notch2 signaling is constitutively activated and contributes to apoptosis resistance. We show that genetic inhibition of either Notch1 or Notch2, through small-interfering RNA, increases apoptosis of CLL ...

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.

Combinatorial ubiquitin code degrades deubiquitylation-protected substrates

Nature Communications
Protein ubiquitylation is maintained by a dynamic balance of the conjugation and deconjugation of ubiquitin. It remains unclear how deubiquitylation-stabilized substrates are directed for degradation.

Rapid degradation of mutant SLC25A46 by the ubiquitin-proteasome system results in MFN1/2-mediated hyperfusion of mitochondria. [PDF]

, 2017
SCL25A46 is a mitochondrial carrier protein that surprisingly localizes to the outer membrane and is distantly related to Ugo1. Here we show that a subset of SLC25A46 interacts with mitochondrial dynamics components and the MICOS complex.

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.

Targeting MYOF suppresses pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression by inhibiting ILF3-LCN2 signaling through disrupting OTUB1-mediated deubiquitination of ILF3

Redox Biology
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is still a highly aggressive and fatal disease. The molecular mechanisms for PDAC progression are still not fully understood.

Digestion of Protein in Premature and Term Infants. [PDF]

, 2012
Premature birth rates and premature infant morbidity remain discouragingly high. Improving nourishment for these infants is the key for accelerating their development and decreasing disease risk. Dietary protein is essential for growth and development of
