The autoradiographic distribution of glucocorticosteroid binding sites in the brain of adrenalectomized rats was studied following in vivo injection of a potent synthetic glucocorticosteroid agonist [3H]RU 28362. Analysis of the autoradiograms revealed a specific and dense labeling in the pyramidal cell layer of the Ammon's horn and in the granular cell layer of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. In the hypothalamus, the labeling was particularly high in the paraventricular nucleus (site of CRF synthesis), the arcuate, periventricular and the supraoptic nuclei as well as in the median eminence. Autoradiograms also revealed the presence of [3H]RU 28362 binding sites in several brain regions including the amygdala, the pineal gland, the entorhinal cortex, the interpeduncular, interfascicular and dorsal raphe nuclei, the central grey and the substantia nigra suggesting possible effects of glucocorticosteroids in these structures.

Pseudouridine (Ψ) is the most abundant RNA modification in nature; however, not much is known about the biological functions of this modified nucleoside. Employing an unbiased quantitative proteomics method, we identified multiple candidate reader proteins of Ψ in RNA, including a cytoskeletal protein profilin-1 (PFN1). We demonstrated that PFN1 binds directly and selectively to Ψ-containing RNA.

Assessing the binding mode of drug-like compounds is key in structure-based drug design. However, this may be challenged by factors such as the structural flexibility of the target protein. In this case, state-of-the-art computational methods can be valuable to explore the linkages between structural and pharmacological data.

Interferon types-I/II (IFN-αβ/γ) secretions are well-established antiviral host defenses. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) particles are known to prevail following targeted cellular interferon secretion. CD4 T-lymphocytes are the primary receptor targets for HIV entry, but the virus has been observed to hide (be latent) successfully in these cells through an alternate entry route via interactions with LFA1.

Cancer, characterized by aberrant cell growth, presents a formidable health challenge, impacting millions of individuals worldwide each year. Among the myriad mechanisms facilitating tumor progression, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor receptors (VEGFR) play a pivotal role in driving angiogenesis the process by which tumors develop their own blood supply. This vascularization not only supports tumor nourishment and growth but also facilitates metastasis, enabling cancer to spread to distant sites.

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has attracted interest in the field of endolysins. Here, we analyzed the diversity of endolysins and identified a new endolysin, Ply2741, that exhibited broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. Our results demonstrated that Ply2741 could effectively eradicate multidrug-resistant gram-positive pathogens and .
