Article Abstract
The mammalian ryanodine receptor Ca release channel (RyR) has a single conserved high affinity calmodulin (CaM) binding domain. However, the skeletal muscle RyR1 is activated and cardiac muscle RyR2 is inhibited by CaM at submicromolar Ca. This suggests isoform-specific domains are involved in RyR regulation by CaM. To gain insight into the differential regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle RyRs by CaM, RyR1/RyR2 chimeras and mutants were expressed in HEK293 cells, and their single channel activities were measured using a lipid bilayer method. All RyR1/RyR2 chimeras and mutants were inhibited by CaM at 2μM Ca, consistent with CaM inhibition of RyR1 and RyR2 at micromolar Ca concentrations. An RyR1/RyR2 chimera with RyR1 N-terminal amino acid residues (aa) 1-3725 and RyR2 C-terminal aa 3692-4968 were inhibited by CaM at <1μM Ca similar to RyR2. In contrast, RyR1/RyR2 chimera with RyR1 aa 1-4301 and RyR2 4254-4968 was activated at <1μM Ca similar to RyR1. Replacement of RyR1 aa 3726-4298 with corresponding residues from RyR2 conferred CaM inhibition at <1μM Ca, which suggests RyR1 aa 3726-4298 are required for activation by CaM. Characterization of additional RyR1/RyR2 chimeras and mutants in two predicted Ca binding motifs in RyR1 aa 4081-4092 (EF1) and aa 4116-4127 (EF2) suggests that both EF-hand motifs and additional sequences in the large N-terminal regions are required for isoform-specific RyR1 and RyR2 regulation by CaM at submicromolar Ca concentrations.

The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) functions as a master regulator of cell growth and proliferation. We previously demonstrated that intracellular calcium ion (Ca) concentration modulates the mTORC1 pathway via binding of the Ca sensor protein calmodulin (CaM) to tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2), a critical negative regulator of mTORC1. However, the precise molecular mechanism by which Ca/CaM modulates mTORC1 activity remains unclear.

Disulfidptosis, a recently identified pathway of cellular demise, served as the focal point of this research, aiming to pinpoint relevant lncRNAs that differentiate between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with and without vascular invasion while also forecasting survival rates and responses to immunotherapy in patients with vascular invasion (VI+). First, we identified 300 DRLRs in the TCGA database. Subsequently, utilizing univariate analysis, LASSO-Cox proportional hazards modeling, and multivariate analytical approaches, we selected three DRLRs (AC009779.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs), primarily caused by uropathogenic (UPEC), have high morbidity and recurrence rates. Resistance to levofloxacin hydrochloride (LEV), a commonly used treatment for UTIs, is increasingly problematic, exacerbated by biofilm formation mediated by interactions between cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP or CDG) and YcgR. In this study, we identified three caffeoylquinic acid compounds from -chlorogenic acid (CGA), sibiricose A5 (Si-A5), and 3--caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (CAM)-that target YcgR through molecular docking.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common highly aggressive, primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Current experimental strategies include photodynamic therapy (PDT) and new drug delivery technologies such as nanoparticles, which could play a key role in the treatment, diagnosis, and imaging of brain tumors. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of PDT using AGuIX-TPP, a polysiloxane-based nanoparticle (AGuIX) that contains TPP (5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphine), in biological models of glioblastoma multiforme and to investigate the vascular mechanisms of action at multiple complexity levels.
