Structure–Activity Relationship Studies of Substitutions of Cationic Amino Acid Residues on Antimicrobial Peptides

Antibiotics, 2022
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have received considerable attention as next-generation drugs for infectious diseases. Amphipathicity and the formation of a stabilized secondary structure are required to exert their antimicrobial activity by insertion into

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

In silico identification of papaya genome-encoded microRNAs to target begomovirus genes in papaya leaf curl disease

Frontiers in Microbiology
Papaya leaf curl disease (PaLCuD) is widespread and classified in the genus begomovirus (Geminiviridae), disseminated by the vector whitefly Bemisia tabaci. RNA interference (RNAi)-based antiviral innate immunity stands as a pivotal defense mechanism and

A stochastic design rainfall generator based on copulas and mass curves [PDF]

, 2010
The use of design storms can be very useful in many hydrological and hydraulic practices. In this study, the concept of a copula-based secondary return period in combination with the concept of mass curves is used to generate point-scale design storms ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Interplay between single-stranded binding proteins on RNA secondary structure

, 2013
RNA protein interactions control the fate of cellular RNAs and play an important role in gene regulation. An interdependency between such interactions allows for the implementation of logic functions in gene regulation.

Comment on "Constraint Quantization of Open String in Background B field and Noncommutative D-brane" [PDF]

, 2002
In the paper "Constraint Quantization of Open String in Background $B$ field and Noncommutative D-brane", it is claimed that the boundary conditions lead to an infinite set of secondary constraints and Dirac brackets result in a non-commutative Poisson ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Design and control of parallel three phase voltage source Inverters in low voltage AC microgrid [PDF]

, 2017
Design and hierarchical control of three phase parallel Voltage Source Inverters are developed in this paper. The control scheme is based on synchronous reference frame and consists of primary and secondary control levels. The primary control consists of
