Important Research

 
 
 
 
Altered protein dynamics and a more reactive catalytic cysteine in a neurodegeneration-associated UCHL1 mutant

 
A mutant of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) detected in early-onset neurodegenerative patients, UCHL1R178Q, showed higher catalytic activity than wild-type UCHL1 (UCHL1WT). Lying within the active-site pocket, the arginine is part of an interaction network that holds the catalytic histidine in an inactive arrangement.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Excess dietary sugar impairs Drosophila adult stem cells via elevated reactive oxygen species-induced JNK signaling

 
High-sugar diets (HSDs) often lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes, both metabolic syndromes associated with stem cell dysfunction. However, it is unclear whether excess dietary sugar affects stem cells. Here, we report that HSD impairs stem cell function in the intestine and ovaries of female Drosophila prior to the onset of insulin resistance, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tying a true topological protein knot by cyclization

 
Knotted proteins are fascinating to biophysicists because of their robust ability to fold into intricately defined three-dimensional structures with complex and topologically knotted arrangements.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Bacteria colonization in tumor microenvironment creates a favorable niche for immunogenic chemotherapy

 
The tumor microenvironment (TME) presents differential selective pressure (DSP) that favors the growth of cancer cells, and monovalent therapy is often inadequate in reversing the cancer cell dominance in the TME.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Post-translational Modification of PD-1: Potential Pathways for Cancer Immunotherapy

 
Activation of effector T cells leads to upregulation of PD-1, which can inhibit T cell activity following engagement with its ligand PD-L1. Post-translational modifications (PTMs), including glycosylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and palmitoylation, play a significant role in regulating PD-1 protein stability, localization, and inter-protein interactions.
