Antibacterial Activity and Mode of Action of a Sulfonamide-Based Class of Oxaborole Leucyl-tRNA-Synthetase Inhibitors

open access: yes, 2019
Benzoxaboroles are a class of boron-containing compounds with a broad range of biological activities. A subset of benzoxaboroles have antimicrobial activity due primarily to their ability to inhibit leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) via the oxaborole tRNA ...

Single‐Molecule Imaging of Endogenous RNA Using a Miniaturized and Circularly Permuted CRISPR‐Cas13 Degron‐Masking System CDegSR

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CDegSR, a new tool for imaging RNA at single molecule level in living cells was developed by researchers. Background noise was eliminated by protein engineering and making it degrade when not bound to its target. This allowed individual RNA molecules to be clearly imaged and tracked.

In Vitro Selection of Functional Neoproteins Containing Highly Fluorinated Cores

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The generation of neoproteins—functional proteins containing unnatural amino acids—is a key goal in synthetic biology. We develop a platform to discover neoproteins with specified bioactivity from trillion‐member sequence libraries, using genetic code reprogramming, in vitro selection and microwave peptide synthesis.

Disrupted tRNA Genes and tRNA Fragments: A Perspective on tRNA Gene Evolution

open access: yesLife, 2015
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with lengths of approximately 70–100 nt. They are directly involved in protein synthesis by carrying amino acids to the ribosome.

Single‐Cell Profiling Reveals Clonally Expanded CX3CR1+ T Cells in Anti‐NMDA Receptor Encephalitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CX3CR1+ T cells are associated with peripheral and central immune alterations in anti‐NMDA receptor encephalitis (NMDAR‐E). They show potential responsiveness to GluN1 (NR1) peptides, potential interactions with peripheral B cells, clonal expansion, increased CD137/CD154 expression, and inflammatory cytokine production. Their preferential cerebrospinal

Multiple Layers of Stress-Induced Regulation in tRNA Biology

open access: yesLife, 2016
tRNAs are the fundamental components of the translation machinery as they deliver amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis. Beyond their essential function in translation, tRNAs also function in regulating gene expression, modulating ...

Nuclear Photosynthetic Gene Expression Is Synergistically Modulated by Rates of Protein Synthesis in Chloroplasts and Mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Arabidopsis thaliana mutants prors1-1 and -2 were identified on the basis of a decrease in effective photosystem II quantum yield. Mutations were localized to the 5'-untranslated region of the nuclear gene PROLYL-tRNA SYNTHETASE1 (PRORS1), which acts in ...

Distinct Cleavage Trajectories Mediated by DNA and RNA Substrate in Argonaute From Methanocaldococcus Fervens

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study characterizes MfAgo, an enzyme exhibiting highly efficient DNA‐guided DNA and RNA cleavage capability. Precise RNA cleavage strictly requires dimerization to stabilize the PIWI‐loop region, while its robust DNA cleavage functions in a dimerization‐independent manner.

Methylated nucleosides in tRNA and tRNA methyltransferases

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2014
To date, more than 90 modified nucleosides have been found in tRNA and the biosynthetic pathways of the majority of tRNA modifications include a methylation step(s).

A Metabolic‐Epigenetic Axis of AARS1/IGF2BP3‐K280 Lactylation Sustains Endometrial Cancer Stemness and Recurrence

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lactate‐driven endometrial cancer relapse is mediated by enzymatic protein modification. Elevated lactate levels activate AARS1, which catalyzes K280 lactylation of IGF2BP3, therefore stabilizing HMGA2 mRNA and promoting tumor stemness and recurrence.
