Selection of initiator tRNA and start codon by mammalian mitochondrial initiation factor 3 in leaderless mRNA translation.

The mammalian mitochondrial protein synthesis system produces 13 essential subunits of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes. Translation initiation in mammalian mitochondria is characterized by the use of leaderless messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and non-AUG start codons, where the proofreading function of IF-3mt still remains elusive. Here, we developed a reconstituted mammalian mitochondrial translation system using in vitro transcribed and native mitochondrial transfer RNAs (tRNAs) to investigate IF-3mt's proofreading function.

Neurotransmitters crosstalk and regulation in the reward circuit of subjects with behavioral addiction.

Behavioral addictive disorders (BADs) have become a significant societal challenge over time. The central feature of BADs is the loss of control over engaging in and continuing behaviors, even when facing negative consequences. The neurobiological underpinnings of BADs primarily involve impairments in the reward circuitry, encompassing the ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens in the ventral striatum, and prefrontal cortex.

The C-terminal structure of the N6-methyladenosine deaminase YerA and its role in deamination.

The N6-methyladenine (6mA) modification is an essential epigenetic marker and plays a crucial role in processes, such as DNA repair, replication, gene expression regulation, etc. YerA from Bacillus subtilis is considered a novel class of enzymes capable of catalyzing the deamination of 6mA to produce hypoxanthine. Despite the significance of this type of enzymes in bacterial self-defense systems and potential applications as a gene-editing tool, the substrate specificity, the catalytic mechanism and the physiological function of YerA are currently unclear due to the lack of structural information.

Suhexiang pill for acute ischemic stroke in real-world practice setting (SUNRISE): protocol of a multicenter registry.

Background: Suhexiang (SHX) pill is widely used for treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Experimental and randomized controlled trials suggested that SHX pill was beneficial for patients with AIS. However, the effectiveness of SHX pill in real-world practice setting remains unclear.

The Dual Effect of Work Rumination in the Relationship Between Challenge Stress and Innovative Behavior: A Moderated Mediation Model of Information Literacy.

Innovation in healthcare is crucial for enhancing patient care and operational efficiency. Nurses often experience stress that may impede the process of innovation. This study utilizes the Job Demands-Resources model and Cognitive Appraisal Theory to investigate the impact of challenge stress, work rumination, and information literacy on the expression of innovative behaviors among nurses.
