FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.SLC7A11 frequently migrates faster in SDS‐PAGE. The present study found that the high hydrophobicity of SLC7A11 causes its anomalous migration in SDS‐PAGE with a low concentration of acrylamide gel. Replacing isoleucine with asparagine reduced hydrophobicity and restored its normal migration at 55 kDa, revealing the role of hydrophobicity and gel ...

Evolution and Pathogenicity of SARS-CoVs: A Microcanonical Analysis of Receptor-Binding Motifs [PDF]
arXivThe rapid evolution and global impact of coronaviruses, notably SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2, underscore the importance of understanding their molecular mechanisms in detail. This study focuses on the receptor-binding motif (RBM) within the Spike protein of these viruses, a critical element for viral entry through interaction with the ACE2 receptor.

The role of circular RNAs in regulating cytokine signaling in cancer
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Cytokines present in the tumor microenvironment fuel cancer development. Aberrant expression of circRNAs contributes to cancer progression. Cytokines are involved in regulating circRNA biogenesis. Furthermore, aberrantly expressed circRNAs regulate the expression of ligands, receptors, and downstream effectors involved in cytokine signaling to promote ...

Lymphocyte repertoire selection and intracellular self/not-self discrimination: historical overview [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Immunological self/not-self discrimination is conventionally seen as an extracellular event, involving interactions been receptors on T cells pre-educated to discriminate, and peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex proteins (pMHCs). Mechanisms by which not-self peptides might first be sorted intracellularly to distinguish them from the vast
