5'-O-[N-(salicyl)sulfamoyl]adenosine (Sal-AMS) is a prototype for a new class of antitubercular agents that inhibit the aryl acid adenylating enzyme (AAAE) known as MbtA involved in biosynthesis of the mycobactins. Herein, we report the structure-based design, synthesis, biochemical, and biological evaluation of a comprehensive and systematic series of analogues, exploring the structure-activity relationship of the purine nucleobase domain of Sal-AMS. Significantly, 2-phenyl-Sal-AMS derivative 26 exhibited exceptionally potent antitubercular activity with an MIC99 under iron-deficient conditions of 0.049 microM while the N-6-cyclopropyl-Sal-AMS 16 led to improved potency and to a 64-enhancement in activity under iron-deficient conditions relative to iron-replete conditions, a phenotype concordant with the designed mechanism of action. The most potent MbtA inhibitors disclosed here display in vitro antitubercular activity superior to most current first line TB drugs, and these compounds are also expected to be useful against a wide range of pathogens that require aryl-capped siderphores for virulence.

Article Synopsis
- Polyphosphate kinase 2 (PPK2) enzymes are key to transferring phosphate to nucleotides and are categorized into three classes, each with unique preferences.
- The study of PPK2's distribution among prokaryotes helps understand its evolutionary history and potential adaptations across various species.
- Observations revealed a significant preference for Class I enzymes in species with multiple PPK2 genes, alongside insights about gene duplication and possible functional versatility that challenge previous understandings of PPK2 evolution.

Detection of pathogenic DNA variants is vital in cancer diagnostics and treatment monitoring. While CRISPR-based diagnostics (CRISPRdx) offer promising avenues for cost-effective, rapid, and point-of-care testing, achieving single-nucleotide detection fidelity remains challenging. We present an in silico pipeline that scans the human genome for targeting pathogenic mutations in the seed region (ARTEMIS), the most stringent crRNA domain.

Article Synopsis
- DNA phosphorothioate (PT) modification involves replacing a non-bridging oxygen in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone with sulfur, enhancing the DNA’s resistance to degradation by nucleases.
- Recent studies have uncovered the roles of PT modification enzymes and their functions across bacterial genomes, notably in distinguishing self DNA from foreign DNA to prevent autoimmunity.
- The article also discusses potential applications of PT systems, such as creating phage-resistant bacteria, RNA editing, and improving methods for nucleic acid detection.

Alternative splicing events increase the transcriptomic and proteomic complexity in cancers. Overexpression of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (), a highly conserved lncRNA, is widely known to promote cancer development, one mechanism for which may be through the regulation of alternative splicing and, thereby, gene expression. Its regulatory interactions with proteins have been a subject of much interest, yet little research has been carried out on the mechanisms adopted.

Fluorescent markers play important roles in spectroscopic and microscopic research techniques and are broadly used in basic and applied sciences. We have obtained markers with fluorescent properties, two etheno derivatives of 2-aminopurine, as follows: 1,N-etheno-2-aminopurine (1,N-ε2APu, ) and N,3-etheno-2-aminopurine (N,3-ε2APu, ). In the present paper, we investigate their interaction with two key enzymes of purine metabolism, purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), and xanthine oxidase (XO), using diffraction of X-rays on protein crystals, isothermal titration calorimetry, and fluorescence spectroscopy.
