Artificial lipidation of proteins and peptides: from mechanism to clinical applications

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 5, Page 1269-1284, March 2026.
Artificial lipidation transforms protein and peptide therapeutics by attaching fatty acid chains through reversible or permanent chemical strategies. This biomimetic approach delivers four key therapeutic advantages: extended circulation times (enabling weekly instead of daily dosing), alternative administration routes including oral delivery, precise ...

Transcriptional regulation of human NMNAT2: insights from 3D genome sequencing and bioinformatics

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 5, Page 1433-1458, March 2026.
NMNAT2 is a valuable drug target, as low levels increase the risk of neurodegeneration. We employed 4C‐seq to identify NMNAT2 regulatory regions in the human genome, revealing distinct interactomes of the NMNAT2 promoter in undifferentiated and neuron‐like SH‐SY5Y cells. Additionally, we uncovered NMNAT2‐associated genes and transcription factors. This

Proximity Labelling‐Based Proteomics Identifies Antiviral Host Factors Associated With the Potexvirus Replicase

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Multi‐control proximity labelling identifies host factors at ER‐organelle interfaces. NbCBP, NbREM1.5 and NbCAS interact with the PlAMV MET domain and restrict viral replication. ABSTRACT Plant positive‐strand RNA viruses establish viral replication complexes (VRCs) by remodelling intracellular membranes, primarily the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ...

International meta-analysis of PTSD genome-wide association studies identifies sex- and ancestry-specific genetic risk loci. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following trauma is heritable, but robust common variants have yet to be identified. In a multi-ethnic cohort including over 30,000 PTSD cases and 170,000 controls we conduct a genome-wide association ...

CD36 and Its Role in Obesity

open access: yesObesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Obesity is understood as a condition driven by interactions between genetics and environmental factors. The role of CD36 in the regulation of lipid metabolism and ectopic fat accumulation emerges as a key area of interest. This review presents CD36 not only as a crucial facilitator of fatty acid uptake but also as a regulator of how and where ...

How copy number variations shape brain developmental disorders: Unraveling the synaptic puzzle

open access: yesPsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, Volume 80, Issue 3, Page 166-179, March 2026.
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as schizophrenia (SCZ), Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, and intellectual disabilities (ID), are highly prevalent. One significant genetic factor associated with NDDs is copy number variations (CNVs), which are structural changes in the ...

A facile assay for zDHHC palmitoyl transferase activation elucidates effects of mutation and modification

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research
At least 10% of proteins constituting the human proteome are subject to S-acylation by a long-chain fatty acid, thioesterified to a Cys thiol side chain.

Palmitoylation-dependent regulation of GPX4 suppresses ferroptosis

open access: yesNature Communications
S-palmitoylation is a reversible and widespread post-translational modification, but its role in the regulation of ferroptosis has been poorly understood. Here, we elucidate that GPX4, an essential regulator of ferroptosis, is reversibly palmitoylated on
