6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (CD437/AHPN) and 4-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-3-chlorocinnamic acid (3-Cl-AHPC/MM002) are inducers of apoptosis of malignant cells both in vitro and in vivo. Numerous mechanisms have been proposed for how these compounds exert this effect. This report shows that AHPN/3-Cl-AHPC binds specifically to the orphan nuclear receptor small heterodimer partner (SHP; NR0B2), and this binding promotes interaction of the receptor with a corepressor complex that minimally contains Sin3A, N-CoR, histone deacetylase 4, and HSP90. Formation of the SHP-Sin3A complex is essential for the ability of AHPN and 3-Cl-AHPC to induce apoptosis, as both knockout SHP and knockdown of Sin3A compromise the proapoptotic activity of these compounds but not other apoptosis inducers. These results suggest that AHPN/3-Cl-AHPC and their analogues are SHP ligands and their induction of apoptosis is mediated by their binding to the SHP receptor.

Microtubule (MT) function plasticity originates from its composition of α- and β-tubulin isotypes and the post-translational modifications of both subunits. Aspects such as MT assembly dynamics, structure, and anticancer drug binding can be modulated by αβ-tubulin heterogeneity. However, the exact molecular mechanism regulating these aspects is only partially understood.

Introduction: The family of Janus kinases (JAKs) consists of four intracellular non-receptor tyrosine kinases: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2). Among these four subtypes, JAK1 is the only isoform that can form heterodimers with all three JAKs, and JAK1 dysfunction can lead to inflammation and severe autoimmune diseases. Interest in JAK1 inhibitors has grown tremendously, and the number of inhibitors targeting JAK1 continues to rise annually.

The proteins SFPQ (splicing Factor Proline/Glutamine rich) and NONO (non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein) are mammalian members of the Drosophila Behaviour/Human Splicing (DBHS) protein family, which share 76% sequence identity in their conserved 320 amino acid DBHS domain. SFPQ and NONO are involved in all steps of post-transcriptional regulation and are primarily located in mammalian paraspeckles: liquid phase-separated, ribonucleoprotein sub-nuclear bodies templated by NEAT1 long non-coding RNA. A combination of structured and low-complexity regions provide polyvalent interaction interfaces that facilitate homo- and heterodimerisation, polymerisation, interactions with oligonucleotides, mRNA, long non-coding RNA, and liquid phase-separation, all of which have been implicated in cellular homeostasis and neurological diseases including neuroblastoma.

To explore the molecular targets for regulating glucose metabolism in carnivorous fish, the turbot () was selected as the research object to study. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR; NR1H4), as a ligand-activated transcription factor, plays an important role in glucose metabolism in mammals. However, the mechanisms controlling glucose metabolism mediated by FXR in fish are not understood.
