Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Evaluation of a reverse tetracycline inducible system in recombinant BCG to improve stability and immunogenicity [PDF]

, 2011
The aim of this study is to utilise the tetracycline dependent gene regulation system to down-regulate recombinant antigen expression in BCG during the expansion of seed stocks and up-regulate expression prior to or post ...

Leveraging ANXA1 to enhance recombinant protein yields in CHO cells: A UPR-Mediated bioprocessing approach

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells undergo endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) during intensive recombinant protein production, triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR) to balance cell survival and protein output.

IMPDH inhibition enhances cytarabine efficacy in SAMHD1‐expressing leukaemia cells via guanine nucleotide depletion

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytarabine is a key therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), but its efficacy is limited by the dNTPase SAMHD1, which hydrolyses its active metabolite. Screening nucleotide biosynthesis inhibitors revealed that IMPDH inhibitors selectively sensitise SAMHD1‐proficient AML cells to cytarabine.

Cross-kingdom regulation of plant microRNAs: potential application in crop improvement and human disease therapeutics

Frontiers in Plant Science
Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that usually negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Recent data reveal that plant miRNAs are not limited to individual plants but can transfer across different ...

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

Cloning of a cDNA encoding Schistosoma mansoni cathepsin C and expression in the yeast Pichia pastoris [PDF]

, 2003
The cDNA encoding the proenzyme of cathepsin C from the parasitic helminth Schistosoma mansoni was amplified from a cDNA library using 5’ and 3’ specific primers containing sites for SnaBI and Avrll digestion.
