We showed that erythropoietin induced rapid glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) hydrolysis and tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma(2) in FDC-P1 cells transfected with the wild-type erythropoietin-receptor. Erythropoietin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma(2) was time- and dose-dependent. By using FDC-P1 cells transfected with an erythropoietin receptor devoid of tyrosine residues, we showed that both effects required the tyrosine residues of intracellular domain on the erythropoietin receptor. Erythropoietin-activated PLC-gamma(2) hydrolyzed purified [(3)H]GPI indicating that GPI hydrolysis and PLC-gamma(2) activation under erythropoietin stimulation were correlated. Results obtained on FDC-P1 cells transfected with erythropoietin receptor mutated on tyrosine residues suggest that tyrosines 343, 401, 464, and/or 479 are involved in erythropoietin-induced GPI hydrolysis and tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma(2), whereas tyrosines 429 and/or 431 seem to be involved in an inhibition of both effects. Thus, our results suggest that erythropoietin regulates GPI hydrolysis via tyrosine phosphorylation of its receptor and PLC-gamma(2) activation.

CD73, an important metabolic and immune escape-promoting gene, catalyzes the hydrolysis of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine (ADO). AMP has anti-inflammatory and vascular relaxant properties, while ADO has a strong immunosuppressive effect, suggesting that CD73 has pro-inflammatory and immune escape effects. However, CD73 also decreased proinflammatory reaction, suggesting that CD73 has a positive side to the body.

Article Synopsis
- The rise of resistance in malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites highlights the urgent need for new treatments, as current antimalarials are becoming less effective.
- Researchers have developed a new series of pantothenamide analogues that replace a vulnerable chemical group with an isoxazole ring, enhancing their stability and biological activity.
- Thirteen new compounds showed strong anti-Plasmodium activity and low toxicity to human cells, demonstrating the potential of late-stage diversification to create effective and safer antimalarials.
Rapid identification of primary atopic disorders (PAD) by a clinical landmark-guided, upfront use of genomic sequencing.

Article Synopsis
- Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
- Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
- Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.

Article Synopsis
- - Uterine leiomyomas, affecting up to 80% of women, cause issues like abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility, but their growth mechanisms are not well understood.
- - Research showed that uterine leiomyomas had lower levels of CD73 expression and adenosine compared to healthy myometrium, suggesting a link to tumor growth regulation.
- - Experiments indicated that adding adenosine or certain receptor agonists inhibited the growth of leiomyoma cells by promoting cell death and reducing key protein expressions, proposing new treatment approaches for these tumors.
Biochemical insights into the biodegradation mechanism of typical sulfonylureas herbicides and association with active enzymes and physiological response of fungal microbes: A multi-omics approach.

The extensive use of sulfonylurea herbicides has raised major concerns regarding their long-term soil residues and agroecological risks despite their role in agricultural protection. Microbial degradation is an important approach to remove sulfonylureas, whereas understanding the associated biodegradation mechanisms, enzymes, and physiological responses remains incomplete. Based on the rapid biodegradation of nicosulfuron by typical fungal isolate Talaromyces flavus LZM1, the dependency on cellular accumulation and environmental conditions, e.
