A Review of Natural and Synthetic Chalcones as Anticancer Agents Targeting Topoisomerase Enzymes

Molecules
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, driving the search for innovative and selective therapeutic agents. Topoisomerases I and II are essential enzymes involved in key cellular processes such as DNA replication ...

Pasta, a Versatile Transcriptomic Clock, Maps the Chemical and Genetic Determinants of Aging and Rejuvenation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pasta is a transcriptomic aging clock built on an age‐shift learning framework and trained on 17 000 samples across 21 datasets. It accurately predicts relative biological age across tissues, platforms, and species, captures stemness‐to‐senescence transitions, and identifies age‐modulatory perturbations.

Chromatin Packing Domain Engineering Through the Manipulation of Nuclear Cationic States

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Manipulation of intranuclear divalent cation concentrations rapidly and reversibly remodels chromatin packing domains in living cells. Magnesium depletion disrupts domain compaction, heterochromatin organization, and transcriptional regulation, whereas magnesium loading promotes more compact and stable domains.

Mechanical Caging of Nucleic Acids Enabled by Light‐Activated Synthetic Molecular Motors

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A synthetic light‐driven molecular motor imposes mechanical constraints on nucleic acids, enabling “mechanical caging” as a new mode to regulate DNA structure and function through mechanical input rather than chemical masking. ABSTRACT Control over nucleic acid activity is central to biotechnology and therapeutic development.

The Natural Product Corramycin Acts as a DNA Gyrase Poison and Overcomes Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Corramycin, a myxobacterial natural product antibiotic, exhibits potent bactericidal activity against multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compound hijacks bacterial transporters such as BacA and OppABCD to enter the cell and inhibits DNA synthesis through a previously unrecognized mode of DNA gyrase poisoning, locking the enzyme in an ...

Arabidopsis thaliana GYRB3 does not encode a DNA gyrase subunit.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundDNA topoisomerases are enzymes that control the topology of DNA in all cells. DNA gyrase is unique among the topoisomerases in that it is the only enzyme that can actively supercoil DNA using the free energy of ATP hydrolysis.

DNA topology: Topoisomerases keep it simple [PDF]

, 1997
The ability of type II DNA topoisomerases to perturb the equilibrium distributions of DNA topoisomers is a consequence of their ability to hydrolyse ATP.

Unveiling the Taxonomic Diversity and Unprecedented Biosynthetic Treasure of the Phylum Myxococcota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Natural products remain vital sources of therapeutics, and the phylum Myxococcota constitutes an especially rich reservoir for them. Based on decades of microbiological efforts, we present 154 new Myxococcota genomes and revise taxonomy quadrupling the number of families and genera.

Mechanical Signatures of Nucleic Acid Trefoil Knot Topology

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Single‐stranded DNA can be designed with sequences that self‐thread into topological knots. The exact same sequence can alternatively be turned into an unknotted pseudoknot. The topology of the resulting polymer is determined by applying force with optical tweezers, causing the pseudoknot to resolve but the knot to tighten.

Discovery and Optimization of AMT‐676, a CDH17‐Targeting ADC for the Treatment of Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AMT‐676 is a novel antibody‐drug conjugate targeting CDH17, an adhesion molecule uniquely exposed on gastrointestinal tumor surfaces. Engineered with an optimized exatecan payload, it demonstrates profound tumor regression and a robust bystander effect across diverse preclinical models.
