The methylotrophic yeast () harbors a methanol utilization (MUT) pathway, enabling it to utilize methanol as the sole source of carbon. The nexus between transcription factors such as Mxr1p and Trm1p and chromatin-modifying enzymes in the regulation of genes of MUT pathway has not been well studied in . Using transcriptomics, we demonstrate that Gcn5, a histone acetyltransferase, and Gal83, one of the beta subunits of nuclear-localized SNF1 (sucrose non-fermenting 1) kinase complex are essential for the transcriptional regulation by the zinc finger transcription factors Mxr1p and Trm1p. We conclude that interactions among Gcn5, Snf1, Mxr1p, and Trm1p play a critical role in the transcriptional regulation of genes of MUT pathway of .

Loz1 is a zinc-responsive transcription factor in fission yeast that maintains cellular zinc homeostasis by repressing the expression of genes required for zinc uptake in high zinc conditions. Previous deletion analysis of Loz1 found a region containing two tandem CH zinc-fingers and an upstream "accessory domain" rich in histidine, lysine, and arginine residues to be sufficient for zinc-dependent DNA binding and gene repression. Here we report unexpected biophysical properties of this pair of seemingly classical CH zinc fingers.

Modeling the response to interleukin-21 to inform natural killer cell immunotherapy.

Natural killer (NK) cells are emerging agents for cancer therapy. Several different cytokines are used to generate NK cells for adoptive immunotherapy including interleukin (IL)-2, IL-12, IL-15 and IL-18 in solution, and membrane-bound IL-21. These cytokines drive NK cell activation through the integration of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, which overlap and synergize, making it challenging to predict optimal cytokine combinations for both proliferation and cytotoxicity.

CASC8 activates the pentose phosphate pathway to inhibit disulfidptosis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma though the c-Myc-GLUT1 axis.

J Exp Clin Cancer Res

Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, General Surgery, Huadong Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200040, PR China.

Purpose: Glucose starvation induces the accumulation of disulfides and F-actin collapse in cells with high expression of SLC7A11, a phenomenon termed disulfidptosis. This study aimed to confirm the existence of disulfidptosis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and elucidate the role of Cancer Susceptibility 8 (CASC8) in this process.

Methods: The existence of disulfidptosis in PDAC was assessed using flow cytometry and F-actin staining.

Background: Immunotherapy is a significant risk factor for severe COVID-19 in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Understanding how immunotherapies lead to severe COVID-19 is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Methods: Human protein microarrays were used to examine the expression of 440 protein molecules in MM patients treated with bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTe) (n = 9), anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) (n = 10), and proteasome inhibitor (PI)-based regimens (n = 10).
