Among metallo-dependent phosphatases, ADP-ribose/CDP-alcohol diphosphatases form a protein family (ADPRibase-Mn-like) mainly restricted, in eukaryotes, to vertebrates and plants, with preferential expression, at least in rodents, in immune cells. Rat and zebrafish ADPRibase-Mn, the only biochemically studied, are phosphohydrolases of ADP-ribose and, somewhat less efficiently, of CDP-alcohols and 2´,3´-cAMP. Furthermore, the rat but not the zebrafish enzyme displays a unique phosphohydrolytic activity on cyclic ADP-ribose. The molecular basis of such specificity is unknown. Human ADPRibase-Mn showed similar activities, including cyclic ADP-ribose phosphohydrolase, which seems thus common to mammalian ADPRibase-Mn. Substrate docking on a homology model of human ADPRibase-Mn suggested possible interactions of ADP-ribose with seven residues located, with one exception (Cys253), either within the metallo-dependent phosphatases signature (Gln27, Asn110, His111), or in unique structural regions of the ADPRibase-Mn family: s2s3 (Phe37 and Arg43) and h7h8 (Phe210), around the active site entrance. Mutants were constructed, and kinetic parameters for ADP-ribose, CDP-choline, 2´,3´-cAMP and cyclic ADP-ribose were determined. Phe37 was needed for ADP-ribose preference without catalytic effect, as indicated by the increased ADP-ribose Km and unchanged kcat of F37A-ADPRibase-Mn, while the Km values for the other substrates were little affected. Arg43 was essential for catalysis as indicated by the drastic efficiency loss shown by R43A-ADPRibase-Mn. Unexpectedly, Cys253 was hindering for cADPR phosphohydrolase, as indicated by the specific tenfold gain of efficiency of C253A-ADPRibase-Mn with cyclic ADP-ribose. This allowed the design of a triple mutant (F37A+L196F+C253A) for which cyclic ADP-ribose was the best substrate, with a catalytic efficiency of 3.5´104 M-1s-1 versus 4´103 M-1s-1 of the wild type.

Single phage proteins sequester signals from TIR and cGAS-like enzymes.

Prokaryotic anti-phage immune systems use TIR and cGAS-like enzymes to produce 1''-3'-glycocyclic ADP-ribose (1''-3'-gcADPR) and cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) and cyclic trinucleotide (CTN) signalling molecules, respectively, which limit phage replication. However, how phages neutralize these distinct and common systems is largely unclear. Here we show that the Thoeris anti-defence proteins Tad1 and Tad2 both achieve anti-cyclic-oligonucleotide-based anti-phage signalling system (anti-CBASS) activity by simultaneously sequestering CBASS cyclic oligonucleotides.

Article Synopsis
- Tumor hypoxia involves fluctuating oxygen levels that occur over short (seconds to minutes) and long (hours to days) periods, with the longer cycles not being fully understood.
- The study introduces a mathematical model explaining these long cycles through mechanisms like vascular changes, tumor growth influenced by oxygen, and the production of toxic cytokines, while highlighting the importance of endothelial cell receptor adaptation.
- Additionally, the research suggests that using PARP inhibitors may help manage hypoxia by targeting tumor cell proliferation, pointing to new therapeutic strategies involving PARP proteins.

Article Synopsis
- Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is an aggressive form of cancer linked to a specific genetic factor called EWS-WT1, and treatment options have not improved significantly in over 20 years.
- Researchers conducted a comprehensive drug sensitivity test on DSRCT cells and found that they respond well to PARP and ATR inhibitors, both alone and in combination, showcasing these treatments across various models.
- The study reveals that the combination of these inhibitors causes significant DNA damage and activates immune responses, suggesting that targeting EWS-WT1 could be an effective strategy in treating DSRCT.

The objective of this study was to investigate the regulatory effects of a high-fiber content feed on the productive performance, meat quality, and fat acid composition. A total of 18 120-day-old Yushan pigs with similar initial body weight were randomly allotted into high-concentrate diet (high energy, HE) and high-fiber diet (low energy, LE) treatments for the determination of regulatory effects on productive performance, meat quality, and fatty acid content. Further, blood metabolomic, gut microbiota, and liver energy-related gene expression measurements were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a form of potentially lethal gastrointestinal inflammation that primarily affects preterm neonates. It is crucial to recognize that, while the disease carries significant risks, timely and effective medical intervention can greatly enhance the chances of survival. Additionally, NEC is closely linked to the activation of macrophages, highlighting the complex interplay between the immune response and disease progression.
