DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA
LigE is a periplasm‐targeted ATP‐dependent DNA ligase found in many Gram‐negative bacteria, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae . Although LigE has been shown to have a role in biofilm formation, many LigE‐possessing bacteria are also natura...

Collaborating with AIProSaB —A researcher's perspective on patient advocacy for progeria
Progeria is an extremely rare genetic disease in which affected individuals age rapidly due to a specific mutation in the LMNA gene, which results in the production of progerin, an abnormal protein that damages cell nuclei and causes pro...

Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase 7 impairs lysophagy in LLOMe ‐treated HepG2 cells
Lysophagy selectively eliminates damaged lysosomes to preserve lysosomal homeostasis, but its regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify dipeptidyl peptidase 7 (DPP7), a lysosomal serine protease, as a regula...

Becoming the bull : Structural insights and engineering strategies for ultralong CDR ‐ H3 paratopes from cattle
Cattle produce a subset of antibodies (Abs) with unique architecture. These immunoglobulins feature an ultralong CDR‐H3 (uCDR‐H3) composed of up to about 70 amino acids that protrudes from the scaffold and folds into a distinct stalk‐and...

RNA ‐related functions of BRCA2 in transcription, replication, and genome stability
BRCA2 is a central tumor suppressor protein best known for its roles in homologous recombination and replication fork stability. Increasing evidence, however, positions BRCA2 at the interface of transcription and replication, where it pr...

Reactive oxygen species‐induced lipid peroxidation mediates Wnt‐dependent lipodystrophy and associated skin fibrosis
Skin fibrosis is marked by extracellular matrix accumulation and dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT), resulting in tissue stiffening. We show that sustained Wnt activation in mature dermal adipocytes induces lipodystrophy and promotes fib...

Lysyl oxidase ( LOX )‐mediated remodeling of the extracellular matrix
The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of enzymes drives extracellular matrix remodeling by oxidizing collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, promoting covalent cross‐link formation. This activity regulates tissue architecture and mechanical propert...

From timekeeping to divisions—Molecular links between circadian rhythms and cell cycle
Circadian rhythms and the cell cycle are two fundamental biological oscillators. They are linked through molecular mechanisms creating coupled oscillators where the outcomes of this coupling depend on numerous factors, such as the direct...
