Phenotypic variability in isogenic bacterial populations is a remarkable feature that helps them cope with external stresses, yet it is incompletely understood. This variability can stem from gene expression noise and/or the unequal partitioning of low-copy-number freely diffusing proteins during cell division. Some high-copy-number components are transiently associated with almost immobile large assemblies (hyperstructures) and may be unequally distributed, contributing to bacterial phenotypic variability.

This short review bridges two biological fields: ribosomes and nucleosomes-two nucleoprotein assemblies that, along with many viruses, share proteins featuring long filamentous segments at their N- or C-termini. A central hypothesis is that these extensions and tails perform analogous functions in both systems. The evolution of these structures appears closely tied to the emergence of regulatory networks and signaling pathways, facilitating increasingly complex roles for ribosomes and nucleosome alike.

Epigenetic Regulation of Stromal and Immune Cells and Therapeutic Targets in the Tumor Microenvironment.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in neoplastic initiation and progression. Epigenetic machinery, governing the expression of core oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in transformed cells, significantly contributes to tumor development at both primary and distant sites. Recent studies have illuminated how epigenetic mechanisms integrate external cues and downstream signals, altering the phenotype of stromal cells and immune cells.

WD repeat domain 77 protein (WDR77), a WD-40 domain-containing protein, is a crucial regulator of cellular pathways in cancer progression. While much of the past research on WDR77 has focused on its interaction with PRMT5 in histone methylation, WDR77's regulatory functions extend beyond this pathway, influencing diverse mechanisms such as mRNA translation, chromatin assembly, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. WDR77 is a key regulator of cell cycle progression, regulating the transition from the G1 phase.

Mechanically Triggered Protein Desulfurization.

J Am Chem Soc

New Cornerstone Science Laboratory, Tsinghua-Peking Joint Center for Life Sciences, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Bioorganic Phosphorus Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Center for Synthetic and Systems Biology, Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.

The technology of native chemical ligation and postligation desulfurization has greatly expanded the scope of modern chemical protein synthesis. Here, we report that ultrasonic energy can trigger robust and clean protein desulfurization, and we developed an ultrasound-induced desulfurization (USID) strategy that is simple to use and generally applicable to peptides and proteins. The USID strategy involves a simple ultrasonic cleaning bath and an easy-to-use and easy-to-remove sonosensitizer, titanium dioxide.
