Molecular and structural basis of a subfamily of PrfH rescuing both the damaged and intact ribosomes stalled in translation.

In bacteria, spontaneous mRNAs degradation and ribotoxin-induced RNA damage are two main biological events that lead to the stall of protein translation. The ubiquitous trans-translation system as well as several alternative rescue factors (Arfs) are responsible for rescuing the stalled ribosomes caused by truncated mRNAs that lack the stop codons. To date, protein release factor homolog (PrfH) is the only factor known to rescue the stalled ribosome damaged by ribotoxins.

Child Maltreatment Increases the Risk for Callous-Unemotional Traits: A Three-Level Meta-Analytic Review.

Callous-unemotional (CU) traits are characterized by lack of remorse and guilt, lack of empathy, and shallow and deficient emotions. A growing body of research has examined the association between child maltreatment and CU traits. However, empirical findings on this association are inconclusive.

Sequential rescue and repair of stalled and damaged ribosome by bacterial PrfH and RtcB.

RtcB is involved in transfer RNA (tRNA) splicing in archaeal and eukaryotic organisms. However, most RtcBs are found in bacteria, whose tRNAs have no introns. Because tRNAs are the substrates of archaeal and eukaryotic RtcB, it is assumed that bacterial RtcBs are for repair of damaged tRNAs.

[Regulatory effect of the lipid metabolic pathways of TMAO, FMO3 and FXR on compound stress-induced ED in rats and mechanisms of Yimusake intervention].

Objective: To study of the regulatory effects of the lipid metabolic pathways of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), flavin-containingmonooxidase 3 (FMO3) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) on compound stress-induced ED (CSED) rats and the mechanisms of Yimusake Tablets (YMSK) intervention.

Methods: Based on the results of metabonomics analysis, we determined the concentration of TMAO in the serum of the rats in the normal control (n = 30), the CSED model control (n = 30) and the YMSK intervention group (intragastrical administration of YMSK at 250 mg/kg once daily for 2－3 weeks after modeling, n = 30) by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy test. We also detected the expressions of the FMO3, FXR1 and FXR2 proteins in the liver tissue of the three groups of rats by Western blot.
