We developed a unique integrated software package (called Electron Tunneling in Proteins Program or ETP) which provides an environment with different capabilities such as tunneling current calculation, semi-empirical quantum mechanical calculation, and molecular modeling simulation for calculation and analysis of electron transfer reactions in proteins. ETP program is developed as a cross-platform client-server program in which all the different calculations are conducted at the server side while only the client terminal displays the resulting calculation outputs in the different supported representations. ETP program is integrated with a set of well-known computational software packages including Gaussian, BALLVIEW, Dowser, pKip, and APBS. In addition, ETP program supports various visualization methods for the tunneling calculation results that assist in a more comprehensive understanding of the tunneling process. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Proteomics of T-Cell and Early T-Cell Precursor (ETP) Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia: Prognostic Patterns in Adult and Pediatric-ETP ALL.

Background: The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of T-cell lymphocytic leukemia (T-ALL) are better for children (>90%) compared to adults (~57%). The early T-cell precursor (ETP) T-ALL subtype is prognostically unfavorable in adults, but less significant in pediatric T-ALL, and the diagnosis and prognosis of "near"-ETP is controversial. We compared protein and RNA expression patterns in pediatric and adult T-ALL to identify prognostic subgroups, and to further characterize ETP and near-ETP T-ALL in both age groups.

Cancer progression involves genetic and epigenetic changes that disrupt chromatin 3D organization, affecting enhancer-promoter interactions and promoting growth. Here, we provide an integrative approach, combining chromatin conformation, accessibility, and transcription analysis, validated by in silico and CRISPR-interference screens, to identify relevant 3D topologies in pediatric T cell leukemia (T-ALL and ETP-ALL). We characterize 3D hubs as regulatory centers for oncogenes and disease markers, linking them to biological processes like cell division, inflammation, and stress response.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) develops spontaneously despite functional antigen presentation machinery in the thymus and a perceptible central tolerance process. We found that intrathymic enrichment with IL-4 fine tunes signaling through the IL-4/IL-13 heteroreceptor (HR) in early thymic progenitors (ETPs), augments negative selection of self-reactive T cells, sustains a diverse T cell repertoire devoid of clones expressing disease-associated T cell receptor (TCR) genes, and protects the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse from T1D. Indeed, optimal IL-4 activates STAT transcription factors to program ETP fate decision toward CD11c+CD8α+ dendritic cells (DCs) agile in negative T cell selection and clonal deletion of diabetogenic T cells.

Background: It remains unclear how high-risk Escherichia coli lineages, like sequence type (ST) 131, initially adapt to carbapenem exposure in their progression to carbapenem resistance.
Methods: Carbapenem mutation frequency was measured in multiple subclades of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) positive ST131 clinical isolates using a fluctuation assay followed by whole genome sequencing (WGS) characterization. Genomic, transcriptomic, and porin analyses of ST131 C2/H30Rx isolate, MB1860, under prolonged, increasing carbapenem exposure was performed using two experimental evolutionary platforms to measure fast vs.

Article Synopsis
- Pregnant women are frequently exposed to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) through personal care products and food packaging, making it crucial to understand how their lifestyle choices affect these exposures.
- A study in South Korea aimed to analyze various lifestyle factors, such as personal care product usage and eating habits, to determine their impact on prenatal concentrations of EDCs like bisphenol A (BPA) and parabens.
- Results indicated that lifestyle choices, like using makeup more than six times a week and consuming certain foods, significantly influenced EDC levels during pregnancy, emphasizing the need for awareness of such exposure risks.
