Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

RNA supply drives physiological granule assembly in neurons

Nature Communications, 2022
RNA granules are important regulators of RNA metabolism. Here the authors report that RNA granules containing RNA helicase DDX6 disassemble during neuronal maturation.

RNAi in the Rhizarian Phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae: The Causal Agent of Clubroot Disease in Cruciferous Crops

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.

Microprotein MP104 Promotes Malignant Progression of Colorectal Cancer Through Regulating Protein Translation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A previously unrecognized microprotein, MP104, encoded by ZEB1‐AS1, emerges as a critical driver of colorectal cancer progression. MP104 links ubiquitin‐mediated protein degradation with translational reprogramming via the UBE2O–AMPKα2–mTOR–EIF4B axis, revealing an unrecognized layer of oncogenic regulation.

Unwinding and Rewinding: Double Faces of Helicase?

Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2012
Helicases are enzymes that use ATP-driven motor force to unwind double-stranded DNA or RNA. Recently, increasing evidence demonstrates that some helicases also possess rewinding activity—in other words, they can anneal two complementary single-stranded ...

Structural and Functional Studies of Chikungunya Virus nsP2

Proceedings, 2020
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is transmitted to humans through mosquitoes and causes Chikungunya fever. Nonstructural protein 2 (nsP2) contains an N-terminal RNA helicase with both nucleotide triphosphatase and RNA triphosphatase activities, and a C-terminal

Human Dental Pulp Stem Cell Secretome Restores Ischemic Stroke–Impaired Motor and Cognitive Functions by Reprogramming Redox and Inflammatory Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human dental pulp stem cell secretome emerges as a cell‐free therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke by reprogramming redox and inflammatory signaling. hDPSC secretome‐derived antioxidant and immunomodulatory factors suppress the TLR4–NOX–ROS–NF‐κB axis, reduce microglial inflammatory responses and apoptosis, and promote neurogenesis, angiogenesis ...

Monitoring helicase activity with molecular beacons

BioTechniques, 2008
A high-throughput, fluorescence-based helicase assay using molecular beacons is described. The assay is tested using the NS3 helicase encoded by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and is shown to accurately monitor helicase action on both DNA and RNA.

Genetic Ablation and Multi‐Omics Profiling Reveal CEP55 as a Key Driver of Tumorigenesis in Diverse Cancer Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genetic ablation of Cep55 in Pten‐deficient mouse models delays tumorigenesis. Integrated multi‐omics analyses (proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and spatial transcriptomics) reveal that CEP55 regulates oncogenic signaling (RAS/ERK, PI3K/AKT), integrin/FAK‐mediated adhesion, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and endocytosis.

The DNA/RNA Helicase SETX Maintains R‐Loop Homeostasis to Promote Chemoresistance in Ovarian Cancer [PDF]

Cancer Sci
SETX maintains R‐loop homeostasis by resolving excessive R‐loops, thereby promoting tumor initiation and chemoresistance. Deficiency of SETX leads to accumulation of unsolved pathological R‐loops, resulting in irreparable DNA damage and ultimately leading to tumor suppression and chemosensitivity.
