Chloramphenicol in a dose of 50-200 micrograms/ml sharply inhibits the incorporation of 14C-labelled amino acids into proteins of ascites Zajdela hepatoma cells while it has no effect on protein biosynthesis in rat liver cells. In vivo chloramphenicol selectively inhibits this process in ascites tumour cells of rat Zajdela hepatoma and mouse Ehrlich carcinoma and hepatoma 22a, without inhibiting the process in various organs of tumour-bearing animals. The inhibition of labelled amino acid incorporation into nuclear and especially nuclear matrix proteins is more pronounced than into the whole tissue. A certain degree of inhibition was revealed in liver cells as well.

Collagen, a major component of the extracellular matrix, is crucial for the structural integrity of the Caenorhabditis elegans cuticle. While several proteins involved in collagen biosynthesis have been identified, the complete regulatory network remains unclear. This study investigates the role of CALU-1, an ER-resident calcium-binding protein, in cuticle collagen formation and maintenance.

The betacoronavirus genus contains five of the seven human coronaviruses, making it a particularly critical area of research to prepare for future viral emergence. We utilized three human betacoronaviruses, one from each subgenus-HCoV-OC43 (embecovirus), SARS-CoV-2 (sarbecovirus), and MERS-CoV (merbecovirus)-, to study betacoronavirus interactions with the PKR-like ER kinase (PERK) pathway of the integrated stress response (ISR)/unfolded protein response (UPR). The PERK pathway becomes activated by an abundance of unfolded proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), leading to phosphorylation of eIF2α and translational attenuation.

Tartary buckwheat is a nutrient-rich pseudo-cereal whose starch contents, including amylose and amylopectin contents, and their properties hold significant importance for enhancing yield and quality. The granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) is a key enzyme responsible for the synthesis of amylose, directly determining the amylose content and amylose-to-amylopectin ratio in crops. Although one has already been cloned, the genes at the genome-wide level have not yet been fully assessed and thoroughly analyzed in Tartary buckwheat.
