The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is the drug target of Pfizer's oral nirmatrelvir. emergence variants with mutations in Mpro raised alarm potential resistance. To identify clinically relevant drug-resistant mutants, we systematically characterized 102 naturally occurring mutants located at 12 residues nirmatrelvir-binding site, among which 22 5 residues, including S144M/F/A/G/Y, M165T, E166 V/G/A, H172Q/F, and Q192T/S/L/A/I/P/H/V/W/C/F, showed comparable enzymatic activity to wild-type...

Summary Sweet cherry is a diploid tree species and its fruit skin has rich colours from yellow to blush dark red. The colour closely related anthocyanin biosynthesis mainly regulated at the transcriptional level by transcription factors that regulate expression of multiple structural genes. However, genetic molecular bases how these genes ultimately determine traits remain poorly understood. Here, our evidences identified R 2 3 MYB factor P av 10.1 involved in pathway determines sweet...

Tibetans are well adapted to high-altitude hypoxic conditions, and in recent genome-wide scans, many candidate genes have been reported involved the physiological response conditions. However, limited sequence variations analyzed previous studies would not be sufficient identify causal mutations. Here we conducted resequencing of entire genomic region (59.4 kb) gene EGLN1 (one top candidates from scans) identified 185 variations, including 13 novel (12 substitutions 1 insertion or deletion)....

Abstract Glioma is the most common malignant tumor in central nervous system. Altered long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are playing regulatory roles physiological and pathogenic processes cancer. Here, we uncovered a differentially expressed lncRNA called brain cytoplasmic RNA 1 (BCYRN1), elucidated its function molecular mechanism progression development of glioma. Three fresh tissues from glioma patients three normal craniocerebral trauma were prepared for high-throughput sequencing....

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly aggressive malignancy with extremely poor prognoses. The oncogenic role and prognostic value of c-Myc in CCA not well elucidated. WD repeat domain 5 (WDR5) critical regulatory factor directly interacting to regulate recruitment at chromosomal locations, but the interaction WDR5 was uncovered. In our study, we detected expression all types, including intrahepatic (iCCA), perihilar (pCCA), distal (dCCA) CCA, evaluated their significance. Consequently,...

The drivers of immune evasion are not entirely clear, limiting the success cancer immunotherapies. Here we applied single-cell spatial and perturbational transcriptomics to delineate in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer. To this end, first mapped organization by profiling more than 2.5 million cells situ 130 tumors from 94 patients. This revealed a malignant cell state that reflects tumor genetics is predictive T natural killer infiltration levels response checkpoint blockade. We then...

Compound C is commonly used as an inhibitor of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which serves a key energy sensor in cells. In this study, we found that treatment MCF7 cells led to Bax redistribution from the cytoplasm mitochondria and cell death. However, effect does not involve AMPK. addition, with compound leads enhanced ceramide production. Analyses by quantitative PCR synthase activity assay suggest 5 (LASS/CerS 5) involved C-induced upregulation. Downregulation LASS/CerS was...

Abstract Background Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant intracranial tumor with poor clinical prognosis in adults. Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) function as important regulators cancer progression, including glioblastoma. Here, we identified a new lncRNA LPP antisense RNA-2 (LPP-AS2) and investigated its mechanism development of glioma. Methods High-throughput RNA sequencing was performed to discriminate differentially expressed lncRNAs...
