Positively charged cytoplasmic residues in corin prevent signal peptidase cleavage and endoplasmic reticulum retention.

Commun Biol

January 2025

Cyrus Tang Hematology Center, Collaborative Innovation Center of Hematology, State Key Laboratory of Radiation Medicine and Prevention, Suzhou Medical College, Soochow University, Suzhou, 215123, China.

Positively charged residues are commonly located near the cytoplasm-membrane interface, which is known as the positive-inside rule in membrane topology. The mechanism underlying the function of these charged residues remains poorly understood. Herein, we studied the function of cytoplasmic residues in corin, a type II transmembrane serine protease in cardiovascular biology.

Enhanced sampling of protein conformational changes via true reaction coordinates from energy relaxation.

Nat Commun

January 2025

Center for Bioinformatics and Quantitative Biology, Richard and Loan Hill Department of Biomedical Engineering, The University of Illinois Chicago, 851 South Morgan Street, Chicago, IL, 60607, USA.

The bottleneck in enhanced sampling lies in finding collective variables that effectively accelerate protein conformational changes; true reaction coordinates that accurately predict the committor are the well-recognized optimal choice. However, identifying them requires unbiased natural reactive trajectories, which, paradoxically, require effective enhanced sampling. Using the generalized work functional method, we uncover that true reaction coordinates control both conformational changes and energy relaxation, enabling us to compute them from energy relaxation simulations.

Optimization and characterization studies of poultry waste valorization for peptone production using a newly Egyptian Bacillus subtilis strain.

AMB Express

January 2025

Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, Hadayek Shoubra, P.O. Box 68, Cairo, 11241, Egypt.

Valorization of poultry waste is a significant challenge addressed in this study, which aimed to produce cost-effective and sustainable peptones from poultry waste. The isolation process yielded the highly potent proteolytic B.subtilis isolate P6, identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing to share 94% similarity with the B.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous breast cancer subtype characterized by aggressive clinical behavior and poor prognosis. The immune landscape associated with TNBC often reveals high immunogenicity. Therefore, immunotherapy, which has demonstrated its efficacy in different cancer types, could be a promising strategy for TNBC, given the limited therapeutic options currently available besides conventional chemotherapy.
