Open DOI
Recent advances in coarse-grained simulations of nucleic acid condensation
Biomolecular condensates, formed through phase separation of multivalent biomolecules, play essential roles in cellular processes such as stress response, RNA processing, transcriptional control, and genome organization. Nucleic acids ar...

CerS2-mediated lipotoxicity and calcium signaling: a novel sequential mechanism of apoptosis in cancer
The classical paradigm of the sphingolipid rheostat—balancing pro-apoptotic ceramide against pro-survival sphingosine-1-phosphate—has evolved into a complex signaling landscape where N-acyl chain length serves as the fundamental determin...

Targeting CLK1 by CRISPR tools and pharmacological inhibition modulates the innate immune response and dengue virus replication
Alternative splicing is a key regulatory mechanism known to be altered upon viral infection. These alterations can arise both from direct viral interference with the splicing machinery and from cellular responses such as activation of in...

Structural and biophysical studies of human E3 ligase Deltex 4
Deltex E3 ligases such as DTX1 and DTX2 are known to bind to ADP-ribosylated substrates and consequently ubiquitinate them. However, little is known about the role of the deltex E3 ligase DTX4 in substrate binding and ubiquitination. Her...

Structural and Functional Consequences of Arg512 Mutations in Methyl-CpG-Binding Domain Protein 4
Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 4 (MBD4) is a base excision repair glycosylase that removes the thymine of a T:G mispair. If left unrepaired, these mismatches can cause C>T transitions. Human MBD4 uses an arginine finger, R468, to flip...

MyoD and Myogenin regulatory cascade is targeted by tumor signals to repress myogenesis in cancer cachexia
It is estimated that about 20-30% cancer death is directly linked to the syndrome called cancer cachexia (CAC), which is characterized by debilitating skeletal muscle (SKM) and fat wasting. Recent studies have found that the myogenic abi...

Functional and Mechanistic Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 NSP15 Reveals Metal-Dependent Regulation and Inhibition by Direct-Binding Small Molecules
The SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 15 (NSP15) is a uridine-specific endoribonuclease involved in viral RNA processing and immune evasion, thereby contributing to viral pathogenesis. Although NSP15 has been structurally characterized b...

Serum albumin oxidation and inter-alpha-trypsin-inhibitor heavy chain-4 abundance correlates with the dystropathology in the rat model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X‑linked genetic disease caused by the absence of functional dystrophin, resulting in muscle membrane fragility, chronic inflammation, and progressive muscle wasting. The lack of effective tre...

Fluorophore placement and size impact E2 ubiquitination efficiency
E2 conjugating enzymes function in the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathway by accepting ubiquitin (Ub) from an E1 enzyme (Uba1), forming an E2∼Ub thioester conjugate, and transferring Ub to a substrate or to an E3 ligase enzyme. Fluor...

Structural organization of TAM receptor ectodomains
TYRO3, AXL, and MERTK, the TAM receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), play roles in phagocytosis and negative regulation of immune responses, contributing to homeostasis in many adult tissues. Aberrant TAM signaling leads to diseases includin...
