Molecular and Structural Characterization of Five Novel GLA Gene Variants in Fabry Disease

Overall, these findings support an effect of the five variants on α-galactosidase A structure and function and highlight the value of integrating clinical, genetic, biochemical, and computational data for variant interpretation.

The Apolipoprotein E N-Terminal Bundle Rendered Membrane-Compatible by Reverse-QTY Conversion Without Loss of Fold

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) performs most of its pathologically relevant biology at lipid interfaces, yet design efforts target its receptor binding, interdomain geometry or abundance rather than the lipid affinity of its N-terminal bundle. We asked whether the reverse-QTY (rQTY) code can make that bundle membrane-compatib...

Conformational insights into the unfolding pathway of RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain of TAF15 associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

The RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain of TAF15 protein plays an essential role in RNA binding and regulation of diverse cellular processes. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its structural stability and folding behaviour associated with disease state remains poorly understood. Herein, we performed an extensi...

Alternative oxidase in trypanosomatids

Background. Alternative oxidase (AOX) is a mitochondrial terminal oxidase that provides an alternative route for electron transfer, contributing to respiratory flexibility and redox homeostasis under stress conditions. In trypanosomatids, AOX displays a highly uneven distribution associated with extensive diversificati...

Cross-sectional study on the association between C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) and sarcopenia risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

To investigate the association of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) with sarcopenia and to evaluate its discriminative performance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We enrolled 265 patients with T2DM within this single-center, retrospective study. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the 2019 A...

Pathview visualizations of significantly enriched KEGG pathways across directional cowpea comparisons

Pathview visualizations of significantly enriched KEGG pathways across directional cowpea comparisons: The ZIP archive contains pathway maps for KEGG comparison-direction contexts that meet the enrichment threshold (FDR < 0.05). Protein log₂ fold-change values are overlaid on pathway nodes to illustrate the direction a...

Only Protein Differs by Nearly a Third Between the Calorimeter and the Label ── the gap between heat of combustion and conversion factor is 2.4390 per cent for carbohydrate and 4.7619 for fat, yet 29.2035 per cent for protein ── the body discards nitrogen as urea with combustible matter still attached ── [Paper 567]

The calories on a food label are taken to be heat measured by burning. What this paper shows is that they are an estimate, by conversion factors, of what the body can extract, and that the gap from the heat of combustion gathers almost entirely in protein. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope no...

For a Drug the Liver Extracts Almost Completely, Blood Flow Sets the Injection and Enzymes Set the Pill ── for a drug with extraction ratio 0.95, halving the liver's enzyme activity raises exposure to an injection only 1.050000-fold while exposure to a pill exactly doubles ── when liver blood flow falls to 70 per cent the roles reverse ── [Paper 591]

It is said that when the liver weakens, drugs act too strongly. What this paper shows is that the same change in the liver acts differently on an injection and on a pill, and that for a drug the liver removes almost completely (high extraction ratio) the injection is governed by liver blood flow and the pill by the liv...

Interferon gamma-induced MX1 and IFITM1 inhibit Varicella-Zoster Virus Replication

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is a potent cytokine secreted following primary varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection. Our previous studies demonstrated that pretreatment with IFN-γ completely inhibited VZV replication in lung fibroblast MRC-5 and retinal epithelial ARPE-19 but not in melanoma MeWo cells, suggesting that IFN...

Droplet Microfluidic Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange for Investigating Protein Dynamics with Millisecond Precision

Hydrogen/Deuterium eXchange (HDX) methods for studying protein dynamics would benefit from millisecond-scale incubations to probe intrinsically disordered proteins, highly dynamic regions, and conformation changes. Here, we investigate droplet microfluidics for rapid mixing to trigger D2O labeling, uniform incubation...

Development of a Multivalent Macrocyclic Peptide that Protects Against SARS-CoV-2 Infection Following Intranasal Administration

The risk of zoonotic spillover of coronaviruses poses a constant threat to humanity, as recently exemplified by SARS‑CoV-2. During the pandemic, the rapid emergence of immune escape mutations led to a loss of efficacy of both therapeutic and humoral anti‑spike antibodies, emphasizing the need for therapeutics that enga...
