Open AccessOxidative degradation of dihydrofolate reductase increases CD38-mediated ferroptosis susceptibility
High expression of CD38 in tissues is a characteristic of aging, resulting in a decline in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and increasing cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, whether CD38 i...

Open AccessExosomal miR-328 originated from pulmonary adenocarcinoma cells enhances osteoclastogenesis via downregulating Nrp-2 expression
Osseous metastases of pulmonary carcinoma and the detailed mechanisms remain unclear, and the effects of exosomes (Exos) originated from pulmonary adenocarcinoma cells in this process have received a lot of at...

Open AccessTargeting lactate dehydrogenase B-dependent mitochondrial metabolism affects tumor initiating cells and inhibits tumorigenesis of non-small cell lung cancer by inducing mtDNA damage
Once considered a waste product of anaerobic cellular metabolism, lactate has been identified as a critical regulator of tumorigenesis, maintenance, and progression. The putative primary function of lactate de...

Open AccessComplex roles of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase in cancer progression
Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is an intracellular methyltransferase, catalyzing the N-methylation of nicotinamide (NAM) to form 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNAM), in which S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) is t...

Open AccessN6-methyladenosine demethylase FTO promotes growth and metastasis of gastric cancer via m6A modification of caveolin-1 and metabolic regulation of mitochondrial dynamics
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common tumor and the third most deadly cancer worldwide. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has been reported to play a regulatory role in human cancers. However, the exac...

Open AccessInduced TRIM21 ISGylation by IFN-β enhances p62 ubiquitination to prevent its autophagosome targeting
The tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21) plays important roles in autophagy and innate immunity. Here, we found that HECT and RLD domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 5 (HERC5), as an inter...

Cryo-EM structures of Lassa and Machupo virus polymerases complexed with cognate regulatory Z proteins identify targets for antivirals
Zoonotic arenaviruses can lead to life-threating diseases in humans. These viruses encode a large (L) polymerase that transcribes and replicates the viral genome. At the late stage of replication, the multifun...

Open AccessThe structural basis of function and regulation of neuronal cotransporters NKCC1 and KCC2
NKCC and KCC transporters mediate coupled transport of Na++K++Cl− and K++Cl− across the plasma membrane, thus regulating cell Cl− concentration and cell volume and playing critical roles in transepithelial salt a...

Open AccessCOPII mitigates ER stress by promoting formation of ER whorls
Cells mitigate ER stress through the unfolded protein response (UPR). Here, we report formation of ER whorls as an effector mechanism of the ER stress response. We found that strong ER stress induces formation...

Open AccessPOTEE drives colorectal cancer development via regulating SPHK1/p65 signaling
Aberrant gene expression plays critical roles in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here we show that POTEE, which was identified as a member E of POTE ankyrin domain family, was significantly upregul...

Open AccessFasting-induced hormonal regulation of lysosomal function
Lysosomes are centers for nutrient sensing and recycling that allow mammals to adapt to starvation. Regulation of lysosome dynamics by internal nutrient signaling is well described, but the mechanisms by which...

Open AccessL-glutamine provides acid resistance for Escherichia coli through enzymatic release of ammonia
Bacteria, exemplified by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli), rely on elaborate acid resistance systems to survive acidic environment (such as the stomach). Comprehensive understanding of bacterial acid r...

Open AccessDesign study for the cascaded HGHG experiment based on the SDUV-FEL
Cascading stages of high-gain harmonic generation (HGHG) free electron laser (FEL) is a promising way to produce fully coherent X-ray radiation. As a test facility for modern FEL R&D, the Shanghai deep ultravi...

Open Accessp38α MAP kinase phosphorylates RCAN1 and regulates its interaction with calcineurin
RCAN1, also known as DSCR1, is an endogenous regulator of calcineurin, a serine/threonine protein phosphatase that plays a critical role in many physiological processes. In this report, we demonstrate that p38...

Open AccessCrystal structure and biochemical analyses reveal Beclin 1 as a novel membrane binding protein
The Beclin 1 gene is a haplo-insufficient tumor suppressor and plays an essential role in autophagy. However, the molecular mechanism by which Beclin 1 functions remains largely unknown. Here we report the crysta...
