The HS1 protein is one of the major substrates of non-receptor-type protein-tyrosine kinases and is phosphorylated immediately after crosslinking of the surface IgM on B cells. The mouse B-lymphoma cell line WEHI-231 is known to undergo apoptosis upon crosslinking of surface IgM by anti-IgM antibodies. Variants of WEHI-231 that were resistant to anti-IgM-induced apoptosis expressed dramatically reduced levels of HS1 protein. Expression of the human HS1 protein from an expression vector introduced into one of the variant cell lines restored the sensitivity of the cells to apoptosis induced by surface IgM crosslinking. These results suggest that HS1 protein plays a crucial role in the B-cell antigen receptor-mediated signal transduction pathway that leads to apoptosis.

In response to the escalating crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), there is an urgent need to research and develop novel antibiotics. This study presents the synthesis and assessment of innovative 4-aminoquinoline-benzohydrazide-based molecular hybrids bearing aryl aldehydes () and substituted isatin warheads (), characterized using multispectroscopic techniques with high purity confirmed by HRMS. The compounds were evaluated against a panel of clinically relevant antibacterial strains including the Gram-positive , , and and a Gram-negative bacterial strain.

Background: The LYP tyrosine phosphatase presents a SNP (1858C > T) that increases the risk of developing autoimmune diseases such as type I diabetes and arthritis. It remains unclear how this SNP affects LYP function and promotes the development of these diseases. The scarce information about LYP substrates is in part responsible for the poor understanding of LYP function.

Immune cells survey their microenvironment by forming dynamic cellular protrusions that enable chemotaxis, contacts with other cells, and phagocytosis. Podosomes are a unique type of protrusion structured by an adhesive ring of active integrins that surround an F-actin-rich core harboring degradative proteases. Although the features of podosomes, once-established, have been well defined, the steps that lead to podosome formation remain poorly understood by comparison.

In humans, the HS1.2 enhancer in the Ig heavy-chain locus is modular, with length polymorphism. Previous studies have shown the following features for this variation: (i) strong population structuring; (ii) association with autoimmune diseases; and (iii) association with developmental changes in Ig expression.
