Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

Interactome analysis brings splicing into focus [PDF]
The spliceosome is a huge molecular machine that assembles dynamically onto its pre-mRNA substrates. A new study based on interactome analysis provides clues about how splicing-regulatory proteins modulate assembly of the spliceosome to either activate ...

The transcriptome of the invasive eel swimbladder nematode parasite Anguillicola crassus [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Anguillicola crassus is an economically and ecologically important parasitic nematode of eels. The native range of A. crassus is in East Asia, where it infects Anguilla japonica, the Japanese eel. A. crassus was introduced into European eels,

Biomolecular condensates segregate nuclei into discrete regions, facilitating the execution of distinct biological functions. Here, it is identified that the WW domain containing adaptor with coiled‐coil (WAC) is localized to nuclear speckles via its WW ...

Trimethylguanosine nucleoside inhibits cross-linking between snurportin 1 and m3G-capped U1 snRNA [PDF]
Macromolecular nuclear import is an energy-and signal-dependent process. The best characterized type of nuclear import consists of proteins carrying the classical NLS that is mediated by the heterodimeric receptor importin α/β. Spliceosomal snRNPs U1, U2,

Proteolysis‐targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) ermöglichen die gezielte Degradation bislang als „undruggable“ geltende Proteine über das zelluläre Ubiquitin–Proteasom‐System. In dieser Studie identifizieren Schäfer et al. thiazolbasierte niedermolekulare Liganden, die allosterisch an die Zinkfinger‐Domäne der Ubiquitin‐spezifischen Protease 39 (USP39) binden

We describe a novel approach to identify RNA-protein cross-linking sites within native small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) particles from HeLa cells. It combines immunoprecipitation of the UV-irradiated particles under semi-denaturing conditions with primer extension analysis of the cross-linked RNA moiety.

Targeting the Spliceosomal Protein USP39 Through Allosteric Ligands and PROTAC‐Induced Degradation
Proteolysis‐targeting chimeras (PROTACs) enable degradation of proteins previously considered undruggable by harnessing the cellular ubiquitin–proteasome system. In this study, Schäfer et al. identify thiazole‐based small molecules that allosterically bind the zinc finger domain of ubiquitin‐specific protease 39 (USP39), a non‐enzymatic scaffold ...
