Chemically stabilized subtilisins in peptide synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We have stabilized alcalaseTM and subtilisin Carlsberg (SC) against heat by chemical modification with ethylene glycol bis-succinimidyl succinate (EGNHS), a procedure not previously reported for subtilisins.

Histochemical evaluation of protein oxidative modification in fibrinoid of the placenta, depending on calcium deposits, combined with iron deficiency anemia of pregnancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Introduction. Both calcium and iron significantly affect the level of free radical processes. The aim of the study was to determine the levels of protein oxidative modification in fibrinoid of placenta of different localization areas, depending on the ...

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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

PSCP, a novel reactive sulfur donor, activates Keap1-Nrf2 signaling and attenuates mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic retinopathy

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology
ObjectiveDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss in diabetes, yet its underlying molecular drivers remain poorly defined. This study aimed to identify diabetic stress-responsive targets and explore the therapeutic potential of the ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

GATA4 regulates the transcription of MMP9 to suppress the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells via HDAC1-mediated p65 deacetylation

open access: yesCell Death and Disease
GATA-binding protein 4 (GATA4) is recognized for its significant roles in embryogenesis and various cancers. Through bioinformatics and clinical data, it appears that GATA4 plays a role in breast cancer development. Yet, the specific roles and mechanisms

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

open access: yeshLife
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.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Mitochondrial dysfunction-driven AMPK-p53 axis activation underpins the anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effects of sulfane sulfur

open access: yesScientific Reports
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent form of primary liver cancer, notoriously refractory to conventional chemotherapy. Historically, sulfane sulfur-based compounds have been explored for the treatment of HCC, but their efficacy has been ...
