The Open Reading Frame 7b of the SARS-CoV-2 Disperse Trans-Golgi and Activate the NLRP3 Inflammasome. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Inflammasomes orchestrate the inflammatory response against bacterial and viral infections, thereby initiating the synthesis of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, mainly IL‐1β and IL‐18. SARS‐CoV‐2 infection induces an inflammatory response mediated by the activation of NLRP1 and NLRP3 inflammasomes.

Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Guideline for Thiopurine Dosing Based on TPMT and NUDT15 Genotypes: 2025 Update. [PDF]
Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) and Nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15) are key enzymes that catabolize thiopurines. Decreased or no‐function alleles in TPMT and NUDT15 are associated with reduced or no enzyme activity and predictive of pronounced adverse effects, including severe myelosuppression, that may occur among individuals treated with standard ...

The Vps13p–Cdc31p complex is directly required for TGN late endosome transport and TGN homotypic fusion [PDF]
Yeast VPS13 is the founding member of a eukaryotic gene family of growing interest in cell biology and medicine. Mutations in three of four human VPS13 genes cause autosomal recessive neurodegenerative or neurodevelopmental disease, making yeast Vps13p an important structural and functional model. Using cell-free reconstitution with purified Vps13p, we

Posttranslational modifications of GLUT4 affect its subcellular localization and translocation [PDF]
The facilitative glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) is expressed in adipose and muscle and plays a vital role in whole body glucose homeostasis. In the absence of insulin, only ~1% of cellular GLUT4 is present at the plasma membrane, with the vast ...

Yeast Irc6p is a novel type of conserved clathrin coat accessory factor related to small G proteins. [PDF]
Clathrin coat accessory proteins play key roles in transport mediated by clathrin-coated vesicles. Yeast Irc6p and the related mammalian p34 are putative clathrin accessory proteins that interact with clathrin adaptor complexes.

6-thioguanine treatment in inflammatory bowel disease: A critical appraisal by a European 6-TG working party [PDF]
Recently, the suggestion to use 6-thioguanine (6-TG) as an alternative thiopurine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been discarded due to reports about possible (hepato) toxicity. During meetings arranged in Vienna and Prague in 2004,

Indirect long-term global radiative cooling from NOx emissions [PDF]
Anthropogenic emissions of short‐lived, chemically reactive gases, such as NO x and CO, are known to influence climate by altering the chemistry of the global troposphere and thereby the abundance of the greenhouse gases O3, CH4 and the HFCs.

Extreme enrichment in atmospheric 15N15N. [PDF]
Molecular nitrogen (N2) comprises three-quarters of Earth's atmosphere and significant portions of other planetary atmospheres. We report a 19 per mil (‰) excess of 15N15N in air relative to a random distribution of nitrogen isotopes, an enrichment that ...

Acid Sphingomyelinase Regulates the Localization and Trafficking of Palmitoylated Proteins [PDF]
In human, loss of Acid Sphingomeylinase (ASM/SMPD1) causes Niemann-Pick Disease, type A. ASM hydrolyzes sphingomyelins to produce ceramides but protein targets of ASM remain largely unclear. ...

Prion protein interacts with bace1 and differentially regulates its activity towards wild type and swedish mutant amyloid precursor protein [PDF]
In Alzheimer disease amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) accumulate in the brain. Cleavage of APP by the β-secretase BACE1 is the rate-limiting step in the production of Aβ.
