Cytotoxicity and kinetic studies of phenolic glycosides, benzoyl salireposide (1) and salireposide (2), isolated from Symplocos racemosa, were performed against phosphodiesterase I enzyme from snake venom and human nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase-1. Lineweaver-Burk and Dixon plots and their secondary replots showed that these compounds are pure non-competitive inhibitors of both enzymes. K(i) Values of compounds 1 and 2 were found to be 360 and 1000 microM, respectively, against human nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase, and 525 and 1100 microM, respectively, against snake venom phosphodiesterase. IC(50) values of compounds 1 and 2 are 90 microM +/- 0.04 and 383 microM +/- 0.03, respectively, against human nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase and 171 microM +/- 0.02 and 544 microM +/- 0.021, respectively, against snake venom phosphodiesterase. Both compounds were found to be nontoxic up to concentration of 500 microM/mL as >90% cells were viable after 3 h of incubation. These compounds are potential candidates for the therapy of arthritis.

Nucleotide-pyrophosphatases/phosphodiesterases (NPP/PDE) are membrane or secreted Zn-metallohydrolases of nucleoside-5´-monophosphate derivatives. They hydrolyze, for instance, ATP and 4-nitrophenyl-dTMP, and belong to the ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (ENPP) family that contains seven members (ENPP1-ENPP7). Earlier we had shown that an NPP/PDE activity solubilized and partially purified from rat liver membranes is inactivated by EDTA in a time-dependent fashion, an effect enhanced by glycine and blocked by the 4-nitrophenyl-dTMP.

RAS is the most frequently mutated oncoprotein for cancer driving. Understanding of RAS biology and discovery of druggable lynchpins in RAS pathway is a prerequisite for targeted therapy of RAS-mutant cancers. The recent identification of KRAS inhibitor breaks the "undruggable" curse on RAS and has changed the therapy paradigm of KRAS-mutant cancers.

Background: Dysregulated lipid oxidation occurs in several pathological processes characterized by cell proliferation and migration. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanism of lipid oxidation is not well appreciated in liver fibrosis, which is accompanied by enhanced fibroblast proliferation and migration.
Methods: We investigated the causes and consequences of lipid oxidation in liver fibrosis using cultured cells, animal models, and clinical samples.

2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is the most abundant endocannabinoid (EC), acting as a full agonist at both CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. It is synthesized on demand in postsynaptic membranes through the sequential action of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cβ1 (PLCβ1) and diacylglycerol lipase α (DAGLα), contributing to retrograde signaling upon interaction with presynaptic CB1. However, 2-AG production might also involve various combinations of PLC and DAGL isoforms, as well as additional intracellular pathways implying other enzymes and substrates.

Nucleus-encoded chloroplast proteins can be transported via the secretory pathway. The molecular mechanisms underlying the trafficking of chloroplast proteins between the intracellular compartments are largely unclear, and a cargo sorting receptor has not previously been identified in the secretory pathway. Here, we report a cargo sorting receptor that is specifically present in Viridiplantae and mediates the transport of cargo proteins to the chloroplast.
