摘要:Biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) plastics have been praised as an effective solution to the global pollution caused by petroleum-based plastics, and their widespread use in food packaging and disposable tableware has resulted in increased oral exposure to PLA microplastics (PLA-MPs). Despite their eco-friendly and biodegradable reputation, the in vivo behaviors of PLA-MPs concerning fermentation, carbon cycle, and adverse effects remain unknown. Here, we showed that gut microbiota from the ...

摘要:Wnt signaling orchestrates gene expression in a plethora of processes during development and adult cell homeostasis via the action of nuclear beta-catenin. Yet, little is known about how beta-catenin generates context-specific transcriptional outcomes. Understanding this will reveal how aberrant Wnt/beta-catenin signaling causes neoplasia specifically of the colorectal epithelium. We have previously identified the transcription factor TBX3 as a tissue-specific component of the Wnt/beta-catenin...

摘要:Crystallization by amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) particle attachment (CPA) is a prevalent biomineralization mechanism among calcifying organisms. A narrow, controlled size distribution of ACC nanoparticles is essential for macroscopic crystal formation via CPA. Using in situ synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering, we demonstrate that synthetic magnesium-stabilized ACC (Mg-ACC) nanoparticles form with an exceptionally narrow size distribution near the spinodal line during liquid-liquid ph...

摘要:The primary function of the vertebrate jaw is the dorsoventral movement that occurs during opening and closing. Yet, several lineages have evolved the ability to move their jaws laterally, enabling major innovations, like chewing. While lateral jaw motions are primarily known in tetrapods, here, we show that an ecologically dominant lineage of reef fishes (Zanclidae and Acanthuridae) has evolved the ability to laterally rotate their jaws during feeding. This unique function substantially expan...

摘要:Infection with hepatitis delta virus (HDV) causes the most severe form of viral hepatitis, affecting more than 15 million people worldwide. HDV is a small RNA satellite virus of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that relies on the HBV envelope for viral particle assembly. The only specific HDV component is the ribonucleoprotein (RNP), which consists of viral RNA (vRNA) associated with the small (S) and large (L) delta antigens (HDAg). While the structure of the HDAg N-terminal assembly domain is kno...

摘要:Single-cell organisms and various cell types use a range of motility modes when following a chemical gradient, but it is unclear which mode is best suited for different gradients. Here, we model directional decision-making in chemotactic amoeboid cells as a stimulus-dependent actin recruitment contest. Pseudopods extending from the cell body compete for a finite actin pool to push the cell in their direction until one pseudopod wins and determines the direction of movement. Our minimal model p...

摘要:PARK7/DJ-1, a redox-sensitive protein implicated in neurodegeneration, cancer, and inflammation, exhibits increased secretion under stress. We previously demonstrated that, as a leaderless protein, PARK7 relies on an unconventional autophagy pathway for stress-induced secretion. The current study delves deeper into the mechanisms governing PARK7 secretion under oxidative stress triggered by the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Here, we revealed that 6-OHDA-induced autophagic flux is crit...

摘要:DNA damage repair (DDR) is essential for cancer cell survival and treatment resistance, making it a critical target for tumor therapy. The eukaryotic AAA+ adenosine triphosphatase valosin-containing protein (VCP), which is transported from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, plays a critical role in the DDR process. However, the nuclear translocation and molecular mechanism of VCP for DDR remain elusive. Here, we define VCP as a KPNB1 interacting protein through a combination of chemical and immun...

摘要:The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AaRSs) are an ancient family of structurally diverse enzymes that are divided into two major classes. The functionalities of most AaRSs are inextricably linked to their oligomeric states. While GluRSs were previously classified as monomers, the current investigation reveals that the form expressed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rotationally pseudosymmetrical homodimer featuring intersubunit tRNA binding sites. Both subunits display a highly bent, pipe strap conf...

摘要:Despite the promise of vastly expanding the druggable genome, rational design of RNA-targeting ligands remains challenging as it requires the rapid identification of hits and visualization of the resulting cocomplexes for guiding optimization. Here, we leveraged high-throughput screening, medicinal chemistry, and structural biology to identify a de novo splicing inhibitor against a large and highly folded fungal group I intron. High-resolution cryoEM structures of the intron in different ligan...
