Exploratory Analysis of ELP1 Expression in Whole Blood From Patients With Familial Dysautonomia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a hereditary neurodevelopmental disorder caused by aberrant splicing of the ELP1 gene, leading to a tissue‐specific reduction in ELP1 protein expression. Preclinical models indicate that increasing ELP1 levels can mitigate disease manifestations.

Expanding Chemical Space of Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles for Tunable Antiviral‐Like Immunomodulatory Responses and Potent Adjuvant Activity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles

Identification of the enzymes responsible for m2,2G and acp3U formation on cytosolic tRNA from insects and plants.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Posttranscriptional modification of tRNA is critical for efficient protein translation and proper cell growth, and defects in tRNA modifications are often associated with human disease.

Modification of tRNA as a regulatory device [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 1993
SummaryOur knowledge of the different biological roles of tRNA modification has increased considerably in recent years. Not only have we learned about how modified nucleosides affect the performance of tRNA in translation, but also how they influence regulation of intermediary metabolism, antibiotics production, gene expression in eukaryotic viruses ...

Enhanced Infection Resistance and Regenerative Healing of Titanium Implants via Peptide‐Loaded Biodegradable Coatings

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a new biodegradable coating for titanium implants using a natural antimicrobial peptide, caerin 1.9. Applied via solvent casting, the coating offers sustained antibacterial protection and promotes healing. Tested on 3D‐printed porous titanium scaffolds, it effectively prevented infection—including against resistant bacteria—while ...

Ribosome Homeostasis Regulated by SETD2 Preserves Intestinal Epithelial Barrier

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SETD2 ablation causes dysregulation and recruitment defects of ribosome biogenesis factors, resulting in translational disorders of barrier maintenance genes, thereby compromising the intestinal barrier. These findings unveil a previously unappreciated role of ribosome biogenesis and translational regulation in preserving the intestinal epithelial ...

Amino acid modifications on tRNA.

Acta biochimica et biophysica Sinica, 2008
The accurate formation of cognate aminoacyl-transfer RNAs (aa-tRNAs) is essential for the fidelity of translation. Most amino acids are esterified onto their cognate tRNA isoacceptors directly by aa-tRNA synthetases. However, in the case of four amino acids (Gln, Asn, Cys and Sec), aminoacyl-tRNAs are made through indirect pathways in many organisms ...

Lactylation‐Driven YTHDC1 Alleviates MASLD by Suppressing PTPN22‐Mediated Dephosphorylation of NLRP3

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In MASLD, YTHDC1 undergoes increased lactylation and ubiquitination, reducing its expression. AARS1 mediates lactylation at lysine 565, while disrupted binding to LDHA further promotes lactylation, suppressing YTHDC1. This downregulation enhances PTPN22 mRNA stability, leading to NLRP3 dephosphorylation and activation, which exacerbates inflammation ...

Interplay Between tRNA Modifications and Processing

Journal of Molecular Biology
Transfer RNAs play a key role during protein synthesis by decoding genetic information at the translating ribosome. During their biosynthesis, tRNA molecules undergo numerous processing steps. Moreover, tRNAs represent the RNA class that carries the largest variety and highest relative number of chemical modifications.
