Inhibition of the mitochondrial deubiquitinating (DUB) enzyme USP30 is neuroprotective and presents therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease and mitophagy-related disorders. We integrated structural and quantitative proteomics with biochemical assays to decipher the mode of action of covalent USP30 inhibition by a small-molecule containing a cyanopyrrolidine reactive group, . The inhibitor demonstrated high potency and selectivity for endogenous USP30 in neuroblastoma cells.

Background: As global food production continues to surge, the widespread use of herbicides has also increased concurrently, posing challenges like health risks and environmental pollution. Traditional detection methods for pesticide residues, such as diquat (DQ), were hampered by limitations like high expenses, lengthy detection times and complex operations, restricting their practical application in rapid clinical diagnosis.
Results: In light of the pressing necessity for the identification of minute pesticide residues and the intrinsic constraints of small molecule analysis, a novel chromophotometric biosensor targeting small molecules was developed based on bi-epitopes on single antibody to immobilize two DQ-PAL, inhibiting the hybridization of DQ-PAL.

Based on the concept "Derived from Agroforestry, belong to (Servicing) Agroforestry", we herein achieved the tandem catalytic transformation of lignin to phenolic aryl acrylic esters, which can work as plant growth regulators. The transformation involves the first catalytic oxidative fractionation (COF) of lignin into aromatic aldehydes, which can further undergo Knoevenagel condensation with acids/esters with active Cα-H to generate the phenolic aryl acrylic esters. For the first lignin transformation, the Cu salt (CuSO4) in a 7.

Dopamine modulates a wide range of cognitive processes in the prefrontal cortex, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we examined the roles of prefrontal vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-expressing neurons and their D1 receptors (D1Rs) in working memory using a delayed match-to-sample task in mice. VIP neurons conveyed robust working-memory signals, and their inactivation impaired behavioral performance.

Polyphyllins are the active ingredients of the medicinal plant Paris polyphylla. The biosynthesis of different types of polyphyllins all require the catalysis of glycosyltransferases. Even though significant efforts have been made to identify PpUGTs capable of catalyzing the initial glycosylation reaction, the specific glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of trillin have not been reported in P.
