How does signalling via PI3K-PKB (AKT)-mTORC1-p70S6K and ERK-p90RSK mediate wide-ranging physiological responses to insulin? Quantitative proteomics and biochemical experiments are revealing that these signalling pathways induce the phosphorylation of large and overlapping sets of proteins, which are then captured by phosphoprotein-binding proteins named 14-3-3s. The 14-3-3s are dimers that dock onto dual-phosphorylated sites in a configuration with special signalling and mechanical properties. They interact with the Rab GTPase-activating proteins AS160 and TBC1D1 to regulate glucose uptake into target tissues in response to insulin and energy stress. Dynamic patterns in the 14-3-3-binding phosphoproteome are providing new insights into how insulin triggers coherent shifts in metabolism that are integrated with other cellular response systems.

The analysis of protein phosphorylation and glycosylation is critical for investigating disease development. In this work, 1,2-epoxy-5-hexene and ,-methylenebisacrylamide were polymerized with vinyl phosphate to produce a polymer (denoted as PVME), which contained a variety of hydrophilic groups. The material's hydrophilicity was further enhanced by a ring-opening reaction with cysteine (the product was denoted as Cys-PVEM).

Introduction: Large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) exhibits striking clinical and molecular heterogeneity. New approaches have emerged to explore tumor heterogeneity and classify LBCL into biological categories. Consequently, the informational requirements from diagnostic samples to provide the necessary information have increased, but the adequacy of single-site biopsies to provide such information is largely unknown.

In this study, we present a novel electrochemiluminescent DNA biosensor designed for detecting breast cancer type 1 (BRCA1) gene mutations. The biosensor integrates graphene nanosheets (Graph-NS), tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs), and carbon nanodots (CNDs) to enhance sensitivity and specificity. Graph-NS are employed to structure the transducer and serve as a platform for DNA immobilization.

Non-canonical DNA structures, such as the G-quadruplex (G4) and i-motif (iM), are formed at guanine- and cytosine-rich sequences, respectively, in living cells and involved in regulating various biological processes during the cell cycle. Therefore, the formation and resolution of these non-canonical structures must be dynamically regulated by physiological conditions or factors that can bind G4 and iM structures. Although many G4 binding proteins responsible for tuning the G4 structure have been discovered, the structural regulation of iM by iM-binding proteins remains enigmatic.

Purpose: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has an extremely poor prognosis. Despite high initial response rates to chemotherapy and modest survival improvements with the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), almost all patients experience relapse and fatal outcomes. Recent genomic insights uncovered extensive molecular heterogeneity in addition to the almost uniform loss of RB1 and TRP53.
