Computation and Structure‐Guided Arginine Scanning Engineers a Hyperactive AP Endonuclease for Multiplex Viral RNA Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Computational and structure‐guided arginine scanning rewires the DNA‐binding interface of APE1 to create APE1‐Evo, a hyperactive yet specific AP endonuclease. Integrated into the NAPTUNE‐V2.0 cascade, APE1‐Evo enables amplification‐free, multiplex viral RNA sensing for dengue virus and influenza A/B, highlighting a general strategy for engineering ...

A structural view of ligand-dependent activation in thermoTRP channels

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) proteins are a large family of ion channels, grouped intoseven sub-families. Although great advances have been made regarding the activation andmodulation of TRP channel activity, detailed molecular mechanisms governing

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.

Janus Reactivity of a Mononuclear Non‐Heme Iron(III)‐Peroxo Complex Toward Indole Oxidation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The iron(III)‐peroxo complex [FeIII(O2)(12‐TMC)]+ exhibits bifurcating pathways in indole oxidation. N─H indoles undergo N─H H‐atom abstraction, supported by a KIE of 5.2 for N─H/N–D 2,3‐dimethylindoles, whereas N‐methylindoles react via electrophilic addition of the iron‐peroxo group to the C2–C3 double bond of the indole ring, forming iron ...

Fluorescent cAMP Analogs: Enzymatic Synthesis, Unexpected Photophysical Behavior and Protein Kinase A Recognition

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a key cellular second messenger. Adenylyl cyclase converts emissive isomorphic nucleoside triphosphates into fluorescent cAMPs. cthAMP displays unusually high brightness compared to thATP, its precursor, enabling real‐time monitoring of enzymatic reactions.

Repurposing a Small Molecule Plant Hormone as a Tunable ON‐Switch for CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By engineering a receptor system integrating the plant auxin receptor AFB1 with its co‐receptor IAA7, we enable ligand‐dependent interactions triggered by the plant hormone auxins. This design allows rapid, reversible, and dose‐dependent T cell activation, resulting in potent cytotoxicity against B‐cell lymphoma in vitro and in vivo.

Adenylation Domain Engineering Enables Biosynthesis of an Improved Polymyxin Antibiotic

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
To enable incorporation of l‐2‐aminodecanoic acid into polymyxin by fermentation, a single Trp‐to‐Ala substitution is rationally introduced into the adenylation‐domain residue of its nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and efficiently switches substrate selectivity. The engineered strain produces biologically active Ada‐polymyxin, demonstrating that
