Sex‐related changes in lactate dehydrogenase A expression differently impact the immune response in melanoma

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Here, we explore a differential sex‐related metabolic‐immune relationship in melanoma. Melanoma tumours in male patients exhibit a higher LDH‐A‐driven production of lactate compared to their female counterparts. In turn, lactate acts as an immunosuppressive molecule, promoting pro‐tumoural Treg cells and suppressing anti‐tumoural CD8+ T‐cell activity ...

Functional consequences of lysine acetylation of phosphofructokinase isozymes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Here, we investigated the impact of lysine acetylation on phosphofructokinase (Pfk) isozyme activity using a genetic code expansion strategy. We found that the acetylation of lysine residues in Pfk isozymes in Escherichia coli affects the activities of these enzymes and is generated by non‐enzymatic acetylation with acetyl phosphate.

Hydromethylthionine sustains truncated tau‐dependent inflammation‐lowering effects in mouse brain

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Hydromethylthionine (HMT) is an inhibitor of tau protein aggregation, but one that appears to be affected in subjects already receiving symptomatic treatments for dementia, such as memantine. We found that HMT decreased both tau aggregation and neuroinflammation in transgenic mice in a manner that was unaffected by memantine.

The m6A demethylase FTO promotes C/EBPβ‐LIP translation to perform oncogenic functions in breast cancer cells

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
N6‐methyladenosine is a key mRNA modification that regulates transcript turnover, translation, and other aspects of RNA fate. The m6A‐demethylase ‘eraser’ enzyme FTO reverses this modification. While FTO is known to promote oncogenic signaling in triple‐negative breast cancer, its wider role across the genome and specific downstream signaling has yet ...

Derivatives of MOPS: promising scaffolds for SARS coronaviruses Macro domain‐targeted inhibition

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The SARS‐CoV/CoV‐2 genome encodes non‐structural protein 3, which contains a ‘Macro domain’. This protein domain exhibits antagonistic activity against interferon signaling, which disrupts the host innate immune response and can thus mediate viral escape, highlighting its therapeutic potential.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mub1, a substrate adaptor of E3 ubiquitin ligase Ubr2, modulates sensitivity to cell wall stressors through multiple transcription factors

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We show that Mub1 links cell wall robustness with the ubiquitin‐proteasome system. As an adaptor protein of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Ubr2, it facilitates the ubiquitination of various transcription factors, including Mcm1 and Swi4. Yeasts evolved a complex regulatory programme to build and maintain their cell wall, the primary structure through which ...

Allosteric modulation of protein kinase A in individuals affected by NLPD‐PKA, a neurodegenerative disease in which the PRKAR1B L50R variant is expressed

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In healthy neurons, Protein kinase A (PKA) forms a tetrameric holoenzyme enabling precise allosteric regulation. We characterized a novel neurodegenerative disease, neuronal loss, and parkinsonism driven by PRKAR1B mutation (NLPD‐PKA), demonstrating disrupted holoenzyme assembly, reduced cooperativity, and increased catalytic subunit nuclear ...
