Article Abstract
The translational arrest is a phenomenon wherein a temporary pause or slowing of the translation elongation reaction occurs due to the interaction between ribosome and nascent peptide. Recent studies have revealed that translational arrest peptides are involved in intracellular protein homeostasis regulatory functions, such as gene expression regulation at the translational level and regulation of cotranslational protein folding. Herein, we established a method for the large-scale in vitro selection of translational arrest peptides from DNA libraries by combining a modified mRNA display method and deep sequencing. We performed in vitro selection of translational arrest sequences from random-sequence libraries via mRNA display based on the Escherichia coli PURE system or wheat germ extract. Following several rounds of affinity selection, we obtained various candidate sequences that were not similar to known arrest peptides and subsequently confirmed their ribosome stalling activity by peptidyl-tRNA detection and toeprinting assay. Following the site-directed mutagenesis of the selected sequences, these clones were found to contain novel arrest peptide motifs. This method, termed STALL-seq (Selection of Translational Arrest sequences from Large Library sequencing), could be useful for the large-scale investigation of translational arrest sequences acting on both bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomes and could help discover novel intracellular regulatory mechanisms.

The long non-coding RNA Growth Arrest-Specific 5 (GAS5) is pivotal in modulating key signaling pathways by functioning as a molecular sponge for microRNAs (miRNAs). GAS5 is notably recognized for its antitumor properties, primarily through its ability to sequester oncogenic miRNAs, thereby influencing critical pathways such as p53, Wnt/β-catenin, and PI3K/Akt, all of which are integral to cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis. The disruption of GAS5-miRNA interactions has been implicated in various malignancies, reinforcing its potential as both a biomarker and a therapeutic target.

Increasing long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to participate in regulating the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC), which is a common gastrointestinal malignancy. Here, the specific role and mechanisms of lncRNA LINC00294 were investigated in CRC. The expression levels of LINC00294, miR-499a-5p, and La-related protein 4B (LARP4B) in CRC cells (HCT116 and SW620) and tissues were assessed by RT-qPCR.

Defining the cellular factors that drive growth rate and proteome composition is essential for understanding and manipulating cellular systems. In bacteria, ribosome concentration is known to be a constraining factor of cell growth rate, while gene concentration is usually assumed not to be limiting. Here, using single-molecule tracking, quantitative single-cell microscopy, and modeling, we show that genome dilution in cells arrested for DNA replication limits total RNA polymerase activity within physiological cell sizes across tested nutrient conditions.

Senescent cells are in a stable state of cell cycle arrest, leading to a natural barrier to tumorigenesis. Senescent cells secrete a pool of molecules, including cytokines, chemokines, proteases, and growth factors, termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), paradoxically contributing to pro-tumorigenic processes. However, the mechanism for regulating senescence and SASP in tumor cells remains unclear.

FLT3-ITD and TKD mutants play a central role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), making FLT3 an attractive target for AML treatment. To discover next-generation FLT3 inhibitors and gather additional structure-activity relationship (SAR) information, we performed structural modifications of G-749 (denfivontinib) utilizing structure simplification and scaffold hopping strategies. Among these derivatives, MY-10 exhibited the most potent and selective inhibition of MV4-11 cell proliferation, demonstrating potent inhibitory activity against FLT3-ITD (IC = 6.
