MTDH-SND1 protein-protein interaction (PPI) plays an important role in the initiation and development of tumors, and it is a target for the treatment of breast cancer. In this study, we identified and synthesized a series of novel small-molecule inhibitors of MTDH-SND1 PPI. The representative compound showed potent activity against MTDH-SND1 PPI with an IC of 487 ± 99 nM and tight binding to the SND1-purified protein with a value of 279 ± 17 nM.

Type II nuclear receptors (T2NRs) require heterodimerization with a common partner, the retinoid X receptor (RXR), to bind cognate DNA recognition sites in chromatin. Based on previous biochemical and overexpression studies, binding of T2NRs to chromatin is proposed to be regulated by competition for a limiting pool of the core RXR subunit. However, this mechanism has not yet been tested for endogenous proteins in live cells.

This study utilises amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) human brain samples from the GEO database and employs differential expression gene (DEG) analysis to identify genes that are pivotal in both neurodegenerative diseases. Through in depth GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, we elucidated the biological functions and potential pathways associated with these DEGs. Furthermore, by constructing protein‒protein interaction networks, we highlight the significance of shared DEGs in both cellular physiology and disease contexts.

Mutations in the genes , , and cause three clinically overlapping thrombocytopenias characterized by a predisposition to hematological neoplasms. The gene, which encodes a protein involved in protein-protein interactions, is downregulated by RUNX1 during megakaryopoiesis. Mutations in 5'UTR of ANKRD26, leading to ANKRD26-RT, disrupt this regulation, resulting in the persistent expression of ANKRD26, which leads to impaired platelet biogenesis and an increased risk of leukemia.
