The Ron proto-oncogene is a human receptor for macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP). The exclusion of exon 11 in alternative splicing generates ΔRON protein that is constitutively activated. Heterogenous ribonucleaoprotein (hnRNP) C1/C2 is one of the most abundant proteins in cells. In this manuscript, we showed that both hnRNP C1 and C2 promoted exon 11 inclusion of Ron pre-mRNA and that hnRNP C1 and hnRNP C2 functioned independently but not cooperatively. Moreover, hnRNP C1 stimulated exon 11 splicing through intron 10 activation but not through intron 11 splicing. Furthermore, we showed that, whereas the RRM domain was required for hnRNP C1 function, the Asp/Glu domain was not. In conclusion, hnRNP C1/C2 promoted exon 11 splicing independently by stimulating intron 10 splicing through RRM but not through the Asp/Glu domain. [BMB Reports 2019; 52(11): 641-646].

We recently identified N-cadherin as a novel receptor for fibrin and localized complementary binding sites within the fibrin βN-domains and the third and fifth extracellular domains (EC3 and EC5) of N-cadherin. We also hypothesized that the His16 and Arg17 residues of the βN-domains and the (Asp/Glu)-X-(Asp/Glu) motifs present in the EC3 and EC5 domains may play roles in the interaction between fibrin and N-cadherin. The primary objectives of this study were to test these hypotheses and to further clarify the structural basis for this interaction.

RNA helicases are involved in the innate immune response against pathogens, including bacteria and viruses; however, their mechanism in the human airway epithelial cells is still not fully understood. Here, we demonstrated that DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) box polypeptide 35 (DHX35), a member of the DExD/H (Asp-Glu-x-Asp/His)-box helicase family, boosts antiviral innate immunity in human airway epithelial cells. DHX35 knockdown attenuated the production of interferon-β (IFN-β), IL6, and CXCL10, whereas DHX35 overexpression increased their production.

Aminopeptidases with varied substrate specificities are involved in different crucial physiological processes of cellular homeostasis. They also have wide applications in food and pharma industries. Within the bacterial cell, broad specificity aminopeptidases primarily participate in the recycling of amino acids by degrading oligopeptides generated via primary proteolysis mediated by cellular ATP-dependent proteases.

The multidomain non-heme Fe(ii)/2-oxoglutarate (2OG) dependent oxygenase AspH catalyzes stereoselective (3)-hydroxylation of aspartyl- and asparaginyl-residues. Unusually, compared to other 2OG hydroxylases, crystallography has shown that AspH lacks the carboxylate residue of the characteristic two-His-one-Asp/Glu Fe-binding triad.

Article Synopsis
- DDX41 is an important cytosolic DNA sensor that influences type I interferon responses, but its role in fish is not well studied.
- Researchers identified a gene in clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii) called AcDDX41, which encodes a 617-amino-acid protein similar to DDX41 found in other species, particularly sharing a 99.68% similarity with the one in Acanthochromis polyacanthus.
- AcDDX41 shows high expression in various tissues, especially blood, and is significantly activated under immune stimulation, indicating its role in antiviral defense and regulation of immune responses, particularly through activating the NF-κB signaling pathway.
