Ser715 Phosphorylation Induces β-Hairpin Unfolding and Destabilization of FOXM1 Autoinhibition.

A phosphorylation-triggered order-to-disorder transition that relieves FOXM1 autoinhibition and highlight Ser715 as a key structural and energetic switch is supported and provided a dynamic molecular framework for targeting FOXM1 activation via its regulatory fold.

Two Glu/Asp Residues Cooperatively Mediate an Early Step of ATP Hydrolysis in GHKL ATPases MutL and GyrB

The catalytic mechanism of GHKL ATPases is refined and variants of uncertain significance in these DNA mismatch repair proteins substantially reduced the ATPase activity, indicating functional impairment, and a structural and functional framework for interpreting disease-associated variants in GHKL ATPases is provided.

Physiological and cellular responses of Mytilus galloprovincialis to hyposalinity stress in contrasting urbanized coastal environments

Investigating the physiological responses of the invasive Mediterranean mussel to osmotic stress by studying two populations in Los Angeles County, CA with contrasting hydrology highlights that local environmental histories shape physiological resilience, which will dictate how marine bivalves cope with future climate-...

Development and characterization of Hanwoo oviduct epithelial cell line for heat stress study.

Objective Heat-induced stress (HS) amid global warming compromise cattle reproductive performance causing economic loss including the vulnerable Korean native beef cattle, Hanwoo. Nevertheless, knowledge of response and effect in cattle oviduct epithelial cells (OEC) under HS remains lacking due to restricted commercia...

Computational Structural Modeling of the TTN p.(Arg3936Ter) Variant in a Panamanian Patient with Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Established genomic and population-level evidence support a Likely Pathogenic, loss-of-function classification for the TTN p.Arg3936Ter variant, which introduces a premature termination codon predicted to generate a truncated titin protein of 3,935 amino acids and is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay.

Title: Dynamical Topology Optimization for Complexity

Dynamical Topology Optimization (DTO) provides a framework for optimizing complex network topologies by iteratively refining connections based on emergent properties. This paper introduces a novel algorithm, termed 'Adaptive Topology Evolution', which integrates reinforcement learning and graph theory to achieve automa...

Connectivity-aware geometric descriptors for catalytic site mapping across non-homologous proteins

Motivation: Convergent evolution produces enzymes with different folds but identical catalytic mechanisms, yet no method reliably detects shared catalytic sites across non-homologous proteins. Dedicated catalytic site tools achieve recall below 4%, and general-purpose aligners sacrifice local catalytic geometry for glo...

Chemical profiling of Egregia menziesii and anti-inflammatory potential in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages

The immunomodulatory effect of E. menziesii safely regulates macrophage behavior, IL-1β and IL-6 release and promotes scratch area reduction and could be linked to the presence of sulfate polysaccharides and mannitol.
