Compound Library Screening Identified Cladribine as a Novel Radiosensitizer for Prostate Cancer

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
The combination of cladribine and irradiation significantly suppressed the growth of DU145‐derived tumors compared with the DMSO plus irradiation group in the mouse model. In addition, it also elevated the percentage of γH2AX‐positive cells after irradiation.

Substrate Properties of Fluorescent Ribonucleotides in the Terminal Transferase-Catalyzed Labeling of DNA Sequencing Primers

BioTechniques, 1996
Terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (terminal transferase, E.C. 2.7.7.31) has been used to add a single fluorescent ribonucleotide to the 3′ terminus of DNA sequencing primers, thereby creating primers suitable for automated DNA sequence analysis.

Taxonomic and functional shifts in the microbiome of severely obese, prediabetic patients: Ketogenic diet versus energy‐matched standard diet

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are among the leading global health challenges of the 21st century. While caloric restriction remains the cornerstone of weight loss interventions, ketogenic diets (KD), characterised by low carbohydrate and high fat intake, have been shown to improve metabolic health partly by modulating the ...

Human FASTK preferentially binds single‐stranded and G‐rich RNA

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA‐binding properties in vitro. We found that FASTK prefers ssRNA oligonucleotides containing guanines with the potential to form G‐quadruplexes and binds robustly to any ...

A short peptide derived from late embryogenesis abundant proteins enhances acid tolerance in Escherichia coli via modulation of two‐component regulatory systems

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Expression of the LEA‐K peptide in E. coli BL21 (DE3) improved bacterial viability under acidic stress (pH4), suggesting a protective function. RNA‐sequencing of LEA‐K‐expressing vs. non‐expressing cells revealed 283 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In silico docking linked LEA‐K to two‐component systems (TCS) proteins (Rcs, BtsS/R, and EnvZ/OmpR)

Meat Characteristics, Expression of Myosin Heavy Chain and Metabolism-Related Genes in Thai Native Pigs

Foods
This study investigated the meat quality, expression of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) and metabolism-related genes, ribonucleotides and fatty acids in Longissimus thoracis of Thai native pigs (TNPs) from different geographical regions (GR).

Structural investigation of human U6 snRNA recognition by spliceosomal recycling factor SART3 RNA recognition motifs

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human SART3 has two RRM domains to engage with U6 snRNA for spliceosome recycling. This study reports solution structures of SART3 RRM domains and investigates the interaction between RRM and U6 snRNA. SART3 binds to the asymmetric bulge of U6 snRNA as a dimer via conserved positively charged surfaces.

MazEF Homologs in Symbiobacterium thermophilum Exhibit Cross-Neutralization with Non-Cognate MazEFs

Toxins
Toxin–antitoxin systems are preserved by nearly every prokaryote. The type II toxin MazF acts as a sequence-specific endoribonuclease, cleaving ribonucleotides at specific sequences that vary from three to seven bases, as has been reported in different ...

Plant organelle C‐to‐U RNA editing factors can operate successfully in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as an easily amenable eukaryotic system for their functional analysis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Plant‐type pentatricopeptide repeat proteins capable of C‐to‐U RNA editing perform faithfully when expressed in a new heterologous system, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They were tested with constitutive and inducible expression and with a set of different solubility tags. PPR56, PPR65, and PPR78 from P.
