Regulation of PHOX2B gene expression by the long non‐coding natural antisense RNA PHOX2B‐AS1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for autonomic nervous system development. We identify and characterize PHOX2B‐AS1, a human long non‐coding antisense transcript at the PHOX2B locus, along with its murine counterpart. Our findings reveal bidirectional transcription and reciprocal regulation: PHOX2B activates PHOX2B‐AS1, whereas PHOX2B‐AS1 ...

Lock, relax, load, and shoot: a molecular perspective on Nedd4 regulation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Structural basis of inactive and active states of the Nedd4 HECT E3 ligase subfamily, following a ‘lock, relax, load, and shoot’ mechanism. In the locked, autoinhibited state, intramolecular domain interactions restrain the HECT domain. Relaxation releases these restraints, allowing loading of ubiquitin onto the catalytic cysteine, followed by the ...

Interactions between small leucine‐rich proteoglycans and proteases: implications for tissue homeostasis and pathology

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...

Resistance‐exercise‐induced stress intervenes in TGF‐β signaling by cooperatively downregulating nuclear αB‐crystallin and SMAD4 in human skeletal muscle fibers

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Alpha‐crystallin B chain (CRYAB) has been reported to stabilize mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4) in transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) signaling, enabling target gene transcription. We show nuclear CRYAB–SMAD4 interaction for the first time in human skeletal muscle fibers and its regulation by exercise.

ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...
