Traceless Regulation of Genetic Circuitry
Energy‐based, as opposed to molecular, control offers unprecedented improvements in key circuit parameters. This review summarizes the fundamentals of such traceless switches, categorizes them by trigger modalities, and compares and contrasts distinct advantages as well as shortcomings of each kind.

Yeast Bax Inhibitor, Bxi1p, Is an ER-Localized Protein that Links the Unfolded Protein Response and Programmed Cell Death in \u3cem\u3eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an anti-apoptotic gene whose expression is upregulated in a wide range of human cancers. Studies in both mammalian and plant cells suggest that the BI-1 protein resides in the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in the ...

Objective An enduring puzzle in many inherited neurological disorders is the late onset of symptoms despite expression of function‐impairing mutant protein early in life. We examined the basis for onset of impairment in spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6), a canonical late‐onset neurodegenerative ataxia which results from a polyglutamine expansion in ...

Protein misfolding and mitochondrial dysfunction in glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Elevated intraocular pressure caused by restricted outflow of the aqueous humor leads to the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons.

In this work, a catalytic enantioselective imidation approach is presented for the preparation of enantioenriched sulfinamidines from sulfenamides, employing a chiral dirhodium(II) tetracarboxylate catalyst. This method enables the imidation of N,N‐bisalkyl sulfenamides in yields of up to 98% and enantiomeric ratios up to 98:2, with a catalyst loading ...

Ethanol Induced Disordering of Pancreatic Acinar Cell Endoplasmic Reticulum: An ER Stress/Defective Unfolded Protein Response Model. [PDF]
Background & aimsHeavy alcohol drinking is associated with pancreatitis, whereas moderate intake lowers the risk. Mice fed ethanol long term show no pancreas damage unless adaptive/protective responses mediating proteostasis are disrupted. Pancreatic

Navigating the Genetic Risk of Chemotherapy‐Induced Hearing Loss in the Stria Vascularis
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug that causes permanent hearing loss by damaging a critical tissue lining the inner ear, called the stria vascularis (SV). Currently, the molecular mechanisms of SV damage are largely unknown and the incidence of ototoxicity in patients cannot be reliably predicted.

Lifespan Extension Conferred by Endoplasmic Reticulum Secretory Pathway Deficiency Requires Induction of the Unfolded Protein Response [PDF]
Cells respond to accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by activating the unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathway.

Heat‐stressed soybeans adapt to elevated temperatures through coordinate regulation of destructive and protective protein expression ‐ suppressing detrimental proteins while enhancing beneficial ones. ABSTRACT Soybean represents the largest imported agricultural product in China. Imported soybeans are typically transported via maritime shipping. During
