Phosphatidic acid (PA) is an abundant negatively-charged phospholipid and has long been considered to be an important signaling molecule in diverse cellular events. Thus, the identification of proteins that specifically interact with PA is of considerable interest to understand the regulatory roles of PA. Herein, lipid-affinity purification and mass spectrometric analysis reveals 43 proteins, 19 known and 24 novel, as PA-binding proteins. A lipid-protein overlay assay confirmed that GDI1, PACSIN1, and DPYSL2 interact with not only with PA but also with other phospholipids. These results might be helpful for deciphering the functional effect of PA in the brain.

Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignant tumor in women, with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) showing the poorest prognosis among all subtypes. Glycosylation is increasingly recognized as a critical biomarker in the tumor microenvironment, particularly in BC. However, the glycosylation-related genes associated with TNBC have not yet been defined.

Computational identification of novel natural inhibitors against triple mutant DNA gyrase A in fluoroquinolone-resistant Typhimurium.

Department of Integrative Biology, School of Biosciences and Technology, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore, 632014, Tamil Nadu, India.

The rising resistance to fluoroquinolones in Typhimurium poses a significant global health challenge. This computational research addresses the pressing need for new therapeutic drugs by utilizing various computational tools to identify potential natural compounds that can inhibit the triple mutant DNA gyrase subunit A enzyme, which is crucial in fluoroquinolone resistance. Initially, the three-dimensional structure of the wild-type DNA gyrase A protein was modeled using homology modeling, and followed by mutagenesis to create the clinically relevant triple mutant (SER83PHE, ASP87GLY, ALA119SER) DNA gyrase A protein structure.

Unlabelled: ICANS is a common form of neurological immunotoxicity from CAR T-cell therapy (CAR-T). While high tumor burden, product type and cell dose are established risk factors, there are many unknowns. Our objective was to characterize novel neurological and non-neurological risk factors for the development of ICANS in subjects who received CAR-T.

Background: The development and approval of novel drugs are typically time-intensive and expensive. Leveraging a computational drug repurposing framework that integrates disease-relevant genetically regulated gene expression (GReX) and large longitudinal electronic medical record (EMR) databases can expedite the repositioning of existing medications. However, validating computational predictions of the drug repurposing framework remains a challenge.

Chronic wounds are a burden to millions of patients and healthcare providers worldwide. With rising incidence and prevalence, there is an urgent need to address non-healing wounds with novel approaches. Impaired wound healing has been shown to be associated with wound microbiota, and multiple bacterial species are known to contribute to delays in closure.
