The Boehringer Ingelheim compound collection was screened for inhibitors of the ATPase activity of human papillomavirus E1 helicase to develop antiviral agents that inhibit human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA replication. This screen led to the discovery of (biphenyl-4-sulfonyl)acetic acid 1, which inhibits the ATPase activity of HPV type 6 E1 helicase with a low micromolar IC(50) value. A hit-to-lead exercise rapidly converted 1 into a low nanomolar lead series.

Human DNA licensing initiates replication fork assembly and DNA replication. This reaction promotes the loading of the hMCM2-7 complex on DNA, which represents the core of the replicative helicase that unwinds DNA during S-phase. Here, we report the reconstitution of human DNA licensing using purified proteins.

Liver fibrosis, one of the main histological determinants of various chronic liver diseases, currently lacks effective treatment. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are pivotal in the production of extracellular matrix and amplify the fibrogenic response. Inhibiting the activation of HSCs or promoting the senescence of activated HSCs is crucial for the regression of liver fibrosis.

Here, we evaluated the role of ethylene in regulating the NaHCO stress tolerance of grapevines and clarified the mechanism by which VvERF1B regulates the response to NaHCO stress. The exogenous application of ACC and VvACS3 overexpression in grapevines and grape calli revealed that ethylene increased NaHCO stress tolerance, and this was accompanied by increased plasma membrane H-ATPase (PMA) activity. The expression of VvERF1B was strongly induced by ACC, and overexpression of this gene in grapevines conferred increased NaHCO stress tolerance and enhanced PMA activity and H and oxalate secretion.

is a common bacterial pathogen in aquaculture, often leading to visceral white spot disease in large yellow croakers (). Previous studies have found that certain aptamers show an efficient antibacterial effect against this pathogen. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome of to get insights into the antibacterial and inhibitions mechanisms following exposure to the aptamer B4.

Background: Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) is potentially the most valuable water-soluble active component in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Its chemical formula contains multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, so it has a strong antioxidant capacity.
Objective: We aim to investigate the efficacy and the potential mechanism of Sal B in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke injury.
