Inhibition of KDEL Receptors Remodels the Tumor Microenvironment for T Cell Independent Tumor Regression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inhibition of KDELR2 in a small fraction of tumor cells generates sustainable immunogenic cell death conditions within the tumor microenvironment. These conditions promote the regression of tumors in a T cell independent manner. During regression, macrophages prime T cells that subsequently provide systemic protection against recurrence. The potency of

MIS12 Is Required for Kinetochore‐Microtubule Attachment in Oocyte Meiosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A model depicting the role of MIS12 in K‐MT attachment during oocyte meiosis. The presence of MIS12 stabilizes bipolar K‐MT attachments by maintaining the function of NDC80 and its interaction with TUBB. This, in turn, promotes KNL1 assembly and subsequent SAC protein recruitment to kinetochores.

3D-QSAR, molecular docking, ADMET, simulation dynamic, and retrosynthesis studies on new styrylquinolines derivatives against breast cancer

Open Chemistry
Breast cancer is the most common illness among women, accounting for 25% of all diagnoses, as stated by the American Cancer Society. Current research focuses on 43 compounds of styrylquinoline derivatives as potential inhibitors of tubulin to design a ...

Tubulin monoglutamylation is sufficient to rescue the ciliary motility defects in a Chlamydomonas polyglutamylation deficient mutant

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
IntroductionThe axonemes of eukaryotic cilia and flagella display high tubulin glutamylation heterogeneity, yet the functional significance of this variation remains elusive.

Revisiting the microtubule based quantum models of mind: tubulin bound GTP cannot pump microtubule coherence or provide energy for alpha <-> beta computation in stable microtubules [PDF]

, 2003
The current paper investigates the biological models of stable brain microtubules as quantum or classical computers whose function is based on electron hopping associated with kinking of the tubulin dimer. Hameroff (1998a, 1998b, 2003a, 2003b), Tuszynski

Adipocyte Myoglobin Is a Determinant of Energy Expenditure and a Potential Target to Limit Obesity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Myoglobin, known as a muscle oxygen‐carrying protein, is shown to play a key role in fat cells that burn energy. Loss of myoglobin reduces the body's ability to generate heat and increases obesity risk, while restoring it improves metabolism. The study identifies myoglobin as a regulator of fat burning and a potential target to enhance energy ...

Antimitotic Naphthalene Sulfonamides Are Potent Antitumor Agents Acting Differently from Colchicine

Pharmaceutics
Background/Objectives: Microtubule-targeting agents represent a pillar of cancer chemotherapy; however, their clinical utility is constrained by significant toxicity, pharmacokinetic instability, and susceptibility to multidrug resistance transporters ...

Pericentrosomal Redistribution of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Ensures Organelle Symmetric Inheritance and Mitotic Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon mitotic entry, RTN4 relocalizes to the pericentrosomal region, forming a more tubular ER network around centrosomes. CDK1‐mediated phosphorylation of RTN4 increases its interaction with Rab11 GTPase, facilitating dynein‐dependent transport of RTN4 to the pericentrosomal region.

De Novo Designed Minibinders Targeting the GDF15–GFRAL Axis Reverse Cancer Cachexia and Restore Anti‐Tumor Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tumor‐derived GDF15 drives cancer cachexia and suppresses antitumor immunity. Here, de novo designed minibinders targeting the GDF15–GFRAL interface achieve picomolar affinity and potent pathway blockade. The minibinders alleviate cachexia, restore CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, enhance anti–PD‐1 responsiveness, and provide survival benefits across tumor ...

Effects of post-translational modifications catalysed by pollen transglutaminase on the functional properties of microtubules and actin filaments [PDF]

, 2009
TGases (transglutaminases) are a class of calcium-dependent enzymes that catalyse the interactions between acyl acceptor glutamyl residues and amine donors, potentially making crosslinks between proteins.
