Article Synopsis
  • * The oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex, particularly the STT3A/B enzymes, plays a crucial role in this glycosylation and has emerged as a promising target for broad-spectrum antiviral drugs.
  • * The study highlights the balance between the antiviral potential of STT3A/B inhibitors, like NGI-1, and the need to assess their safety for humans, leading to the discovery of improved compounds that ensure both efficacy and lower toxicity risks.

Sirtuins are NAD-dependent protein lysine deacylases implicated in metabolic regulation and aging-related dysfunctions. The nuclear isoform Sirt1 deacetylates histones and transcription factors and contributes, e.g.

The protein lysine deacylases of the NAD-dependent Sirtuin family contribute to metabolic regulation, stress responses, and aging processes, and the human Sirtuin isoforms, Sirt1-7, are considered drug targets for aging-related diseases. The nuclear isoform Sirt1 deacetylates histones and transcription factors to regulate, e.g.

Mycobacteria are endowed with rich and diverse machinery for the synthesis, utilization, and degradation of cAMP. The actions of cyclic nucleotides are generally mediated by binding of cAMP to conserved and well characterized cyclic nucleotide binding domains or structurally distinct cGMP-specific and -regulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, adenylyl cyclase, and E. coli transcription factor FhlA (GAF) domain-containing proteins.
