A multivalent engagement of ENL with MOZ.
Nat Struct Mol Biol

Department of Pharmacology, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA.
The epigenetic cofactor ENL (eleven-nineteen-leukemia) and the acetyltransferase MOZ (monocytic leukemia zinc finger) have vital roles in transcriptional regulation and are implicated in aggressive forms of leukemia. Here, we describe the mechanistic basis for the intertwined association of ENL and MOZ. Genomic analysis shows that ENL and MOZ co-occupy active promoters and that MOZ recruits ENL to its gene targets.

This study investigates the effects of varying heat stress temperatures (56 °C to 76 °C) on the gel characteristics of egg white protein. The results indicate that when the heat stress temperature exceeds 60 °C, the textural properties, water-holding capacity, and freeze-thaw stability of egg white gel (EWG) decrease to varying extents compared to untreated EWG. At 76 °C, the proportion of free water in EWG increases from 0.

Vertebrate oocyte polarity has been observed for two centuries and is essential for embryonic axis formation and germline specification, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In oocyte polarization, critical RNA-protein (RNP) granules delivered to the oocyte's vegetal pole are stored by the Balbiani body (Bb), a membraneless organelle conserved across species from insects to humans. However, the mechanisms of Bb formation are still unclear.

Bloom Syndrome helicase (Blm) is a RecQ family helicase involved in DNA repair, cell-cycle progression, and development. Pathogenic variants in human BLM cause the autosomal recessive disorder Bloom Syndrome, characterized by predisposition to numerous types of cancer. Prior studies of Drosophila Blm mutants lacking helicase activity or protein have shown sensitivity to DNA damaging agents, defects in repairing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), female sterility, and improper segregation of chromosomes in meiosis.

While the conformational ensembles of disordered peptides and peptidomimetics are complex and challenging to characterize, they are a critical component in the paradigm connecting macromolecule sequence, structure, and function. In molecules that do not adopt a single predominant conformation, the conformational ensemble contains rich structural information that, if accessible, can provide a fundamental understanding related to desirable functions such as cell penetration of a therapeutic or the generation of tunable enzyme-mimetic architecture. To address the fundamental challenge of describing broad conformational ensembles, we developed a model system of peptidomimetics comprised of polar glycine and hydrophobic -butylglycine to characterize using a suite of analytical techniques.
