Histone Deacetylase 6 Brain PET in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis‐Frontotemporal Spectrum Disorder

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective [18F]EKZ‐001 is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer targeting histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), an enzyme responsible for intracellular transport and clearance of misfolded proteins. HDAC6 modulation is a promising treatment strategy in neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Numerical Simulation of Folding and Unfolding of Proteins [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
The thesis examines in detail the folding and unfolding processes of a number of proteins including hbSBD, DDLNF4, single and multi Ubiquitin. Using simplified coarse-grained off-lattice Go model and CD experiments we have shown the two-state behavior of hbSBD protein.

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

Protein conformational dynamics and electronic structure [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Quantum mechanical calculations are performed on 116 conformers of the protein ubiquitin (Lange et al., Science 2008, 320, 1471-1475). The results indicate that the heat of formation (HOF), dipole moment, energy of the frontier orbitals HOMO and LUMO, and HOMO-LUMO gap fluctuate within their corresponding ranges. This study thus provides a link between

Protein‐Like Polymers Targeting Keap1/Nrf2 as Therapeutics for Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We describe a Keap1 targeting protein‐like polymer (PLP) which activates Nrf2, an important cytoprotective transcription factor for relieving myocardial infarction‐induced oxidative stress. This PLP increases cell survival in vitro in multiple relevant cardiac cell types and elicits pro‐reparative responses, improving cardiac function in a preclinical ...

RNF112 Facilitates Ubiquitin‐Mediated Degradation of c‐Myc, Suppressing Proliferation, Migration and Lipid Synthesis in Bladder Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RNF112, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is markedly reduced in bladder cancer (BLCA). It curbs BLCA cell proliferation, migration, and lipid production primarily by enhancing ubiquitin‐dependent degradation of c‐Myc. This degradation inhibits c‐Myc's role in upregulating ACLY, a crucial enzyme for lipid synthesis, highlighting RNF112's potential as a ...

UNC-104 transport properties are robust and independent of changes in its cargo binding [PDF]

arXiv
Cargo distribution within eukaryotic cells relies on the active transport mechanisms driven by molecular motors. Despite their critical role, the intricate relationship between motor transport properties and cargo binding - and its impact on motor distribution - remains inadequately understood.

The Expanding Universe of Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin-Like Modifiers [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2012
The post-translation addition of ubiquitin (Ub) and structurally related polypeptide modifiers to other intracellular constituents is now known to be an important intermediate driving a wide assortment of metabolic and regulatory processes in plants. Although the most common targets are other proteins, conjugation of specific modifiers to lipids and ...

FGF2 Mediated USP42‐PPARγ Axis Activation Ameliorates Liver Oxidative Damage and Promotes Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
USP42 is identified as a novel DUB of PPARγ in hepatocytes. USP42 mediated PPARγ deubiquitylation determines its transcriptional preference on proliferative and redox balance genes. USP42 knockdown exacerbates liver damage and delays regeneration. FGF2 is the upstream signal that initiates and activates the USP42‐PPARγ axis.
