Abstract The human genome contains thousands of potentially coding short open reading frames (sORFs). A growing set microproteins translated from these sORFs are known to have important cellular functions. However, the majority remains uncharacterised. Thus, larger screens find functional become more vital. Here, we performed a high-throughput CRISPR/Cas9 knock-out screen with customised library 11,776 sORFs, curated literature and databases identify essential for cancer cell line growth....

Sterile alpha motif and histidine-aspartic acid domain containing protein-1 (SAMHD1) is a deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) hydrolase that controls dNTP pools detoxifies cancer cells of chemotherapy metabolites. TH6342 recently reported small molecule inhibitor SAMHD1 interacts with the protein in vitro non-competitively prevents dimerisation, prerequisite for catalysis. The binding site on currently unknown. In present study we demonstrate N-terminal SAM not required inhibition by TH6342.

Abstract Sterile alpha motif and histidine-aspartic acid domain containing protein-1 (SAMHD1) is a deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) triphosphohydrolase central to cellular nucleotide pool homeostasis. Recent literature has also demonstrated how SAMHD1 can detoxify chemotherapy metabolites thereby controlling their clinical responses. To further understand biology investigate the potential of targeting this enzyme as neoadjuvant existing chemotherapies we set out discover selective small...

Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is a rare condition that arises secondary to damage the peripheral or central sensory pathways of trigeminal nerve.TTS classically presents with triad anesthesia, facial paresthesias, and selfinduced lateral ala nasi ulceration.TTS should be considered in differential diagnoses unilateral ulcerations due unique management it requires.Patient education prevent compulsive manipulation lesion fundamental piece treatment TTS.We describe 65-year-old woman who...
