Ribosome•RelA structures reveal the mechanism of stringent response activation

eLife, 2016
Stringent response is a conserved bacterial stress response underlying virulence and antibiotic resistance. RelA/SpoT-homolog proteins synthesize transcriptional modulators (p)ppGpp, allowing bacteria to adapt to stress.

Crucial Role of ppGpp in the Resilience of Escherichia coli to Growth Disruption

mSphere, 2020
Bacteria grow in constantly changing environments that can suddenly become completely depleted of essential nutrients. The stringent response, a rewiring of the cellular metabolism mediated by the alarmone (p)ppGpp, plays a crucial role in adjusting ...

USP29‐regulated noncanonical stabilization of the hypoxia‐inducible factor‐α in aggressive prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We identify USP29 as the only DUB mirroring CA9 expression, a marker of hypoxia and HIF pathway activation associated with PCA aggressiveness. USP29 stabilizes HIF‐1α and HIF‐2α via a noncanonical mechanism that is independent of PHD/pVHL activity yet relies on proteasomal regulation, establishing USP29 as a previously unrecognized regulator of hypoxic

Stringent response and initiation of secondary metabolism in Streptomyces clavuligerus [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1991
Cephalosporin biosynthetic activity and extracellular protease production increased during growth of Streptomyces clavuligerus in defined medium, while the level of guanosine 5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp) remained very low and stable. Cephalosporin biosynthesis (measured in resting cell systems) was initiated during early exponential growth in ...

Studies on the Regulation of (p)ppGpp Metabolism and Its Perturbation Through the Over-Expression of Nudix Hydrolases in Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Stringent response mediated by modified guanosine nucleotides is conserved across bacteria and is regulated through the Rel/Spo functions. In Escherichia coli, RelA and SpoT proteins synthesize the modified nucleotides ppGpp and pppGpp, together referred

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Intramolecular Interactions Dominate the Autoregulation of Escherichia coli Stringent Factor RelA

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Amino acid starvation in Escherichia coli activates the enzymatic activity of the stringent factor RelA, leading to accumulation of the alarmone nucleotide (p)ppGpp.

Liquid biopsy‐based diagnostic evaluation of hypermethylated CpG sites for ovarian cancer diagnosis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This schematic outlines the workflow from biomarker identification to duplex MethyLight assay validation for epithelial ovarian cancer diagnosis using cfDNA‐based liquid biopsy. Initial screening of hypermethylated CpG candidates (cg02957270, cg10061138 cg00480298, COL2A1) was performed in tissue using ARMS‐PCR, COBRA, qPCR and image analysis. Selected

Epigenetic heterogeneity and plasticity in therapy‐induced tumor states through single‐cell multi‐omics

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Single‐cell multi‐omics reveals epigenetic heterogeneity across therapy‐adaptive tumor states, including quiescent/dormant, drug‐tolerant persister, and EMT‐like phenotypes. By linking regulatory features with state‐associated biomarkers, these approaches inform biomarker‐guided therapeutic strategies for evolving tumors.

Molecular turn in Yersinia pestis pathogenesis: implications of the gppA frameshift for bacterial survival in human macrophage

Emerging Microbes and Infections
Yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of the devastating plague, has caused three pandemics in human history. While known for its fatality, it has long been intriguing that biovar microtus strains are highly attenuated to humans.
